Help .. No drive or reverse
Need help! My 1988 Ranger, 2.3llt, 4sp automatic (A4LD) delevoped a a peculiar problem out of nowhere. When I put it in Drive, I get nothing but slip. It feels like the torque converter is locked up as it you hear and it feels like your connected to the rear wheels but when you give it some gas ... nothing. Same for maulally starting in second gear. Reverse is fine and first is ok. If you shift from reverse to drive, eventually drive will engage and it will work fine on the road untill you come to a stop, then again no drive. The same if you start out in first and manually shift to second then third and overdrive. I have changed the filter, fluid (not burnt or discolored) and the modulator valve. Any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

Help .. No drive or reverse
I had a transmission guy road test the truck yesterday, and he was able to drive it normally if when moving from PARK you shifted directly to DRIVE and by-passed OverDrive. This he says, indicates that is a broken "over-drive carrier". He's says that it would require a new carrier and a tear down. Alternatively, I could just drive it without overdrive and may last a long time?
