Diagram
Good Afternoon everyone, I have an 88 Ranger with well over 200k miles on it I got off my father in law and he said to warm the truck for 15 minutes first before shifting(which I discovered is true) but my questioning is when I talked with my father about it he suggested the retainer may need to be replaced so i'm looking for a diagram that shows where that is along with the filler and stick. I think it has a TK5 transmission in it but not sure since LMC's VIN number breakdown was vague.
Thanks,
Matt

By looking at things, it looks like this was Ford's popular 5sp transmission. However: a diagram showing where the retainer is and filler tube/dip stick is still a mystery. I attempted to find the tube in the engine bay but all I found was the oil stick. Either way it looks like it'll be going to a shop to be fixed since I don't have the tools to pull the transmission.
