Hello,
I just bought a 1997 Ranger, extended cab, 4x4 auto, 4.0L V6, 20K miles! I noticed that when I bring it to a complete stop, right when it stops there's a jerk/hesitation in the back end. When I move from complete stop, the same thing happens. Local Ford dealer told me it is a drive shaft issue and there's a replacement, $500. Another mechanic told me it's due to a tight drive shaft. I do not think it is the transmission, it runs great.
I am not an expert when it comes to these problems - can anyone shed lights?
Thanks,
Shan.
