Ranger Trans Info needed
First off thanks for anybody who responds. I checking out a 1995 Ranger that has a harsher than normal 1-2 upshift. It has 165k on it and my daughter's boyfriend just purchased it. I know of no history. It sat for a year prior to purchase so were dumping the ATF tomorrow.
Question 1 I have no problem cruising thru the archives to find out bit of info I need on the shift problem but I need to know what Trans it has. It is a 4.0L with overdrive auto, what is the initals for this trans.
Question 2 I worked in a fleet with 120 Ford Vans, trucks, and cars from 1984 till 1997. We had no Rangers. Do they have a drain in the torque converter. Being out of it my knowledge is getting old. I plan on purchasing 15 quarts if you can dump the converter.
Question 3 If you have any idea on the harsh 1-2 upshift.
To a lesser degree it has a rough 2-1 down shift. Other than the 1-2 shift quality area the trans shift normal and runs fine
I plan to dump the ATF. A year of sitting can cause a lot of condensation then run it for a bit.
Thanks for any input

Ranger Trans Info needed
The transmission that is in his truck is a 4R55E according to The Ranger Station. I do not believe this Tourque Converter has a drain plug, and if it is the same as the A4LD TC I know it doesn't (I say that because the 4R55E is a spin off the old A4LD).
As for you harsh shifting, check to see that the Vacuum Modulator lines are not cracked, and are complete all the way to the manifold. The mod. should be on the top passenger side of the tranny. Let us know if it all works out.
