General info:
2002 Ranger
2.0L ecoboost
M5OD-R1 trans
2wd
So, as the title states, my 2.0 ecoboost swapped ranger is having quite an odd issue. I have a stock m5od-r1 transmission, stock clutch master cylinder, stock slave cylinder (basically all stock hydraulics). Along with that I'm using an aftermarket ceramic unsprung 6 puck clutch for all the power that little 2.0 eco puts down, and the stock flywheel. Please for the love of god, do not tell me its the clutch master cylinder that needs bleeding! It is not, that thing has been bled so much and there is no possible way there is air in the system. Now, onto my issue. At low rpms (like anything below 2000ish) the truck shifts fine. Lugging it around in low rpms sucks but it works for some odd reason. After around probably 2500 rpm in 2nd, putting the clutch in and trying to shift to 3rd, the clutch either drags or doesn't disengage fully and locks me out of 3rd. Keeping the clutch in and waiting for rpms to drop to something like 1500-1800 lets me pop it into 3rd flawlessly. Before this motor swap everything worked just fine with the 2.3 duratec the truck originally has and this issue wasn't present. The only other thing that was slightly changed was the stock master cylinder, which has 2 washers set behind it to move it forward just a tad since the aftermarket clutch had issues disengaging after it was installed. If anyone has even the slightest bit of advice, please feel free to throw it down. I'm at a complete loss for what the issue is and it really makes driving this thing a bit tedious waiting for rpms to drop just so I can actually shift.
