Tranny problems

I have a 2004 Ranger Edge 4x4, 3.0 V6. It has 14,000 miles on it and seems like the transmission is starting to slip. When I give it gas coming out of first gear, it seems to hesitate and slip when going into second. It shifts really hard going into second and RPMs just shoot really high until it engages into second. Anyone else experiencing this problem or have any ideas what it can be.

If it is behaving as you state, I'd be on my way back to the dealer right NOW. Current model with 14K miles should be still breaking in IMHO. Dealer warranty time... don't delay.

Thanks, I will take it to the dealer. Does anyone have any ideas what it could actually be? Just in case they say, nothing is wrong. I would like to say some stuff to them to make them think I know a little bit about what I bought.

If they say nothing is wrong ask to drive a similar truck to prove it's not normal.
