hey y'all, got an issue, thinking i might be able to get some info
ok, i've got a 92 ford ranger, ex cab, 3.0 engine, a4ld trans, recently (past week or so) i have almost completely lost all the gears under overdrive, and almost completely lost reverse, local mechanic told me to try some trans-x, thinking it was some clogged bearings or something, so i got that, removed some fluid, and replaced with the trans-x, at first it seemed like it did the trick, truck was back to normal (normal being it had a semi hard time shifting from first into second and second into third) but that was only to last for a couple days
the other day i went to go to the store and it was back to where i had to give it a lot of gas before it would move, kind of like trying to drive with the e-brake on but after diddling with it, going into 1st, the 2nd, then drive, then OD then neutral, then reverse it would work itself loose a little bit and give me false hope that it was working, i would notice that driving down the road, it would jerk a little in the middle of a gear (first namely) and would be extremely sluggish from a stand still
i've tried what the mechanic says, and nothing seems to be clearing up the problems, i can't drop the pan or do any kind of semi serious work to it because i don't have the space/tools to actually dig into it, basically all i can do is take it somewhere to have someone else do the work for me, but i was wondering if i could get some type of info from you guys first, so i will have an idea of what's wrong with it, and how much it might cost to get it fixed
i can give you guys/(gals?) any kind of info y'all might need, short of doing any kind of real things to it (dropping the pan/trans/etc etc)
~~edit~~
i think it might only be happening when it's cold, but i haven't had a chance to test it during warm weather, just yet
