I have an 88' 4x4 Ranger and a 85' 2wd Ranger. The 88' has a problem with blow out leaks from the trans when it gets to hot and also has a problem with delayed shifting. I bought it like this to fix. The origanal plan was to pull the 85' Rangers trans and put it in the 88' so I would have 4 wheel drive. I already pulled the one out of the 85' and found a front pump seal leak (no biggie, I can just replace it). But when I came on here to read up on it before I did the swap, I saw what Viper said about when it blows out fluid when hot to change the torque converter. If I can fix the one that is in the truck now, I would rather do that to save the other one for later. If the torque converter is the problem for the blow out of fluid, would that also be the reason why it has delayed shifting? Or would it be a different problem? Or would it just be easier to change the seal in the other trans and swap them? Or any other ideas would help too.
Thanks
