Transmission won't shift?
The automatic transmission in my 1994 Ford Ranger won't shift. I can put in gear but it won't engage. I have changed the vacuum modulator. As well as changed the fluid and filter making sure I was at the correct level. Any idea what could be going on? The engine is 3.0L there are approximately 180k miles on the original transmission. I don't know enough to really troubleshoot what's going on. Would like to fix it myself or at least try before taking it to the shop. Any help is appreciated -thanks
Its toast. Generally you go somewhere and have a rebuilt one put in and call it a day.
Replace the governor.
This also has a kickdown cable that is in front of the linkage. If that's broken then it won't shift. Also a governor inside the extension housing on the output shaft which also has something to do with no upshift. If that is stuck then something inside internally is breaking up and causing that valve to stick. More help find local shop at ATRA.COM
If the vehicle does not move when the tranny is in gear it's slipping and the transmission needs rebuilding.
It's possible the linkage between the shifter stick and the transmission is dislodged or out of alignment, so that the shifter goes into the right position but that isn't communicated to the transmission. It's certainly worth checking that first before indulging in anything expensive.
Trans is bad, replace.
God created s**t, Ford put it on wheels, good luck with that
- My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift into fourth gear is it ok on a 700 mile round trip drive? I have a 2000 ford Taurus and it doesn't shift into fourth gear anymore. Its been that way for 2 years. It runs fine just doesn't shift into fourth gear and the transmission light does come on after a while of driving it. I was wondering if it would be ok to take it on a 700 mile round trip drive? I know its not good for it I just need to know if I'm going to be stranded on the highway somewhere because my trans went out.
- Gears in my manual transmission Ford Ranger are difficult to shift when the engine is running. Why is this? This usually happens in the morning or if I have not driven in a while usually when its cold out. Once the car gets warmed it gets easier.
- Can a 3 prong 1990 Ford A4ld transmission harness for the ranger 2.9l connect to a 89 a 2 prong shift solinoid on an 89 stang a4ld? Working on taking a dead a4ld out my 1990 ford ranger 2.9l The harness is my only concern to the shift solinoid… It has 3 prong harness but my tranny that will be swapped in is a 89 2.3l ford mustang transmission. Everything else swaps over but need this info.
- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
