2001 Ranger: Flashing "O/D Off" light
Hey, guys.
I have a 2001 V6 4.0L Ranger with automatic transmission.
The last few weeks my Ranger seemed to struggle a little when the engine switched to 2nd gear. It seemed that it went a little longer before switching gears - the tachometer seemed to a little higher but not dangerously. I wasn't sure if it was just something in my head or not so I ignored it as it didn't really seem to be a problem.
This morning on the way to work, my overdrive light started blinking - it's the "O/D Off" light on the dash. It blinked all the way to work and I noticed that now when the engine goes into 2nd gear, it's more of a jerk than a smooth transition. The higher gears seem fine - no problems at all but the "O/D Off" light continued to blink. I pressed the overdrive button on the gear shift (do you still call it a gear shift on an automatic?) repeatedly but it had no effect.
Any ideas?
I did a search here for "O/D Off" but no hits came up.
Any help would be most appreciated.
