I picked up a 92 Ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 and hurtin A4ld yesterday for fairly cheap.My original thought was just to replace the trans with one from a wrecker but now I am wondering if I can fix it instead.Transmission works in Park, has no reverse and has first gear only whether the trans is in OD,D or manual 1.On the drive home I shifted between OD,D,2 and 1 and it stayed stuck in first.Had it up to about 30-35 mph in D and it wouldn't upshift.Taking my foot off the gas at about 30 mph, engine rpm would drop from about 2500 to idle and I could rev the engine freely up to 2500 before it felt like anything was happening.It seemed like I was getting engine braking in manual 1 but not in D or OD.First gear seems solid though, no delayed engagement and the fluid level is good and doesn't appear burnt.Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
