I have a 96 Ranger with the 4R44E (as far as I can tell). 3.0L with 2WD. For the past long while, my transmission has been shifting hard from 1-2. It seems to shift harder while at lower RPMs (which makes driving in traffic terrible, to the point where I just put it in 2nd and leave it until traffic lets up). My O/D off light is also flashing, which I did pull the codes for at one time, but I seem to have lost the sheet I wrote them down on...I'll work on finding the codes.
Also, as I was driving down the highway, I noticed that when I press down on the accelerator after letting the truck coast for a bit, that it feels like nothing is happening for a split second, then it grabs as usual. There's no engine rev, it just feels like there is little play somewhere along the line.
Any ideas on why my transmission is shifting so hard and acting funny and what I can do to fix it?
