A4LD trans problems

My 86 Ranger 4x4 with the 2.9l and A4LD has suddenly starting shifting erratically. I was having problems with it not shifting out of first gear until it was warm, but them I added some transmission conditioner and that problem went away. Now It has been about a month since I added the conditioner and it doesn't seem to want to shift into third or fourth gears. The fluid level is good. The transmission has approximately 130,000 miles.

Get it into the tranny shop soon! Sounds like a planetary gear is going bad, fast. If it takes out the sprag, it will cost big $$$.

I have the same problem in my 91. It will drive fine when it is warm but I have to manually shift it when it is cold. I have had more problems with this particular transmission than any ford has ever put out. I too would recommend getting it into the tranny shop, it will fix the problem, again.!!!!!
