no luck yet...but it will prevail. i am going to retrieve all of the information from the transmission shop i took my ranger into 2 years ago, so i can use that to corner the problem a little more. Another thing- its strange how all of this started with just the reverse band breaking. before the transmission was rebuilt, all of my forward gears were fine, even at 130,000 miles. Only AFTER i had the transmission rebuilt, did it start having these different types of problems...
