question about shifter
I'm not too sure about what could be causing this problem so if someone could help me out that'd be great. My 96 ranger with the 4.0 V6 has a very noticable pause between shifts. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, I have a friend who does not think it is, he has a 94 ranger that had nothing like this. I know stuff about cars but I'm primarily into small little stuff, don't know too much about trucks, this is my first one. Whenever you shift, the shift **** will stick in neutral for a good second, not allowing faster shifts. I've had similar problems in a honda but this is a much longer pause and its not possible to push through it like in a honda. If anyone could help that'd be great.
Thanks
Puzzled and hoping for some help.

I have a 96 with a 4.0 and I had a similar problem. Sounds like maybe your clutch is not releasing properly. Have you checked the fluid level in the clutch resevoir? My slave cylinder was leaking and I had to replace it. Anyhow, it doesn't hold much fluid and it can get low real quick.

A bad synchro can cause this problem also but normally just for one gear. A clutch that is not releasing will wear the synchros out quick.
Check yourclutch pedal fluid as mentioned b4.
