Hard Shifting when Hot
This is on a 96 4.0 5spd
I just bought my second ranger and I have noticed this truck does not like to shift when it is hot. My previous ranger didn't like the cold, which seemed normal. But this truck has a hard time with 1-2 and 2-3shifts when it is hot. Sometimes it almost rolls to a stop before 2nd with engage! Talk about a pain in traffic! I don't force gears because i dont want to bend anything. Has anyone experienced this before? I dont think the clutch is dragging because if i hold the clutch in for a second at a stop light, i can grab first pretty easily. I just replaced the tranny fluid with mobile 1 synthetic atf and that helped a little.
The truck has 80k miles and I bought it from an old guy (original owner) that babied it. I really doubt the syncros are worn out. The truck has a new clutch with about 1000 miles on it. The slave was also replaced at the time of the clutch.

Maybe the shop that replaced the clutch & slave cyl didn't get the system bled well, it can be a pia.
Look in the Tech info thread atop this forum for clues on how to get a good bleed on the clutch systems hydraulics & see how it goes.
