    1994 Ranger A4LD Holding 1st too long

    Looks like the band is gone, I can adjust the heck outta it, and it doesn't tighten up. :( if I had a broken servo piston would this explain this? or just a straight up broken band?

    1994 Ranger A4LD Holding 1st too long

    Grr, guess i should have tried the manual shift first..now my Title is wrong... Seems i have no second gear at all. Hope it's just a band adjustment or broken servo piston and not a broken band....

    1994 Ranger A4LD Holding 1st too long

    I'll try doing the manual upshifts on the way home from work in an hour. It's not temperature dependant at all....

    Pressure Control Solenoid B

    I never did update...I found the servo piston to be broken..I'd already ordered the ones with the O-rings, so I changed the broken one for the o-ring one, and life is good. I still have the OD one if anyone has a worn bore and needs it.

    1994 Ranger A4LD Holding 1st too long

    My lil ranger holds first gear too long...I have to speed up, lift, wait for the shift then get back into it..Unsure if I'm missing second or just delaying first that long...It generally wont upshift out of 1 unless you coast for a bit.. At first I assumed it was the TV cable, but adjustment of...

    Pressure Control Solenoid B

    I'll try swapping the computers tonight. It told me 'check transmission' in the donor as well, but due to the violent abuse I was putting it through at the time(it was a wreck, it was fun!!), I didn't consider it much. Would it not throw all sorts of turbine speed codes, instead of P0775 if...

    Pressure Control Solenoid B

    It's an S, It came with the W, but the donor I found had the S. Did the S have the bonded gasket? I may try the o ring method, he's charging an arm and a leg for a couple low cost servo's with .2 hours of machine time....I guess it's the R&D one pays for really...

    4R55 2-3 Flare?

    Have done nothing to the 'new' transmission yet, save for fluid and filter, and band adjustment. Just trying to find a starting point, and hopefully an end to this issue.

    4R55 2-3 Flare?

    Well, having spend literally hours, reading this forum, and FTE, I have to ask.. I blew my first transmission, lost all gears, replaced EPC, no go. Bought JY transmission, (i know, I know but I'm in College and it was only $250). It moves! I get to school now... I have a 2-3 flare...

    What lights up?

    With the truck's lights on, what illuminates? 2000 Sport. Power mirrior switch? yes no? Fog lamp switch,(the indicator does, but does the switch)? headlamp switch? 4x4 Switch? Window switches? I'm popping my cluster out to change a few bulbs, and, while I'm doing it, may as well...

    Camshaft Position Sensor Mismatch

    if I remember right, they didn't start using a camshaft position sensor till later years...didn't the 4.0L generate the spark signal off the crank sensor? I think they just plugged the hole in the back with a distributor like thing, to run the oil pump drive...

    Wow. Oil change, and then some..

    well, after almost killing my Ex (truck dosn't have a low oil light, ran it for 3000kms without bothering to look, Hilarity did not insue) I was going to do all fluids, as kind of an "I'm Sorry Baby"..So, purchase $70 worth of Synthetics, and do the front diff, rear diff, T-case, transmission...

    Worst stuck pic thread

    Sharp looking truck! I'm in love with them rims, but i'd suggest either putting a ford plate on the front, or losing the bracket....I had one on mine, didn't bug me until i pulled it off, looked 10x better.
