ranger auto tranny question
my dad has a 2000 ranger with automatic tranny..here is the symptom/when it is cold it shifts fine,then as it heats up from 1st to 2nd gear it will bang and the o/d light starts to flash..but if engine is shut off it will then shift ok a few times and do same thing over again.what could the problem be? can codes be pulled for the tranny?all replies are greatly appreciated!

Here's another thread on the subject. Sounds like you need to get the codes read for the tranny.

Maybe I should have worded that better, it sounds similar to the symtoms of a bad VSS sensor.....kind of, from what I have experienced and what I have read other experiencing it seems more consistent once one has gone bad, I have not heard of one that had the ok shifting while cold and then warming up and malfunctioning, but anything is possible. Very inexpensive and easy fix if that is the issue, they are generally around $25, located on the top of the rear diff, one nut to unscrew and a connector to unplug.

Hey I was assuming you were going to try and pull the code, sorry I should have said something about that. You can take it to any Autozone and they will scan it for you if there is a CEL, or has been one on resently.
