My Ranger shifts smoothly in all gears. The problem is when I step on the gas and the trans tries to down shift from overdrive the transmission struggles and jutters. I can hit the O/D off button on the end of the turn signal and it will down shift from overdrive without issue but when I step on the accelerator and it tries to downshift automatically the truck will jutter like it's trying to upshift and down shift rapidly. I believe it's the 5R44E transmission in my 2005 Ranger 3.0 L. At 256,000 miles the Ranger has been the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned. Has anyone had this issue with this transmission before? I tried Youtube but no luck there. I would greatly appreciate any input.
