First, let me say I have read many posts and understand that these trans have lots of issues, but I am confused as to how to correct the problems with mine.

It is a 00 Ranger,4.0 auto, 2wd quad cab,w/ 89,000 and was running o.k. until a couple days ago. All of a sudden, when you go to take off,the truck shifts HARD. Only seems to do it on the 1-2 upshift if you are taking off slow- moderate. if you are taking off fast it does not do it nearly as bad. This has gone on for two days now. I checked the fluid it looks good. it is the right level, does not appear burnt. We have only had this truck for like 12,000 miles, so I do not know it's full history, but we do not use it to tow or anything like that.
Today, my wife went to take it to school, and the o/d light is flashing and says od off? Anyone give any advice on how to go about fixing this ? I understand this means there is a trouble code stored but how do you pull this code to see what it is? Any and all help greatly appreciated! TIA!
 






Ohh, and one other thing wrong with the truck it has a clunk in the fron t end and then it jumps forward? Anyone ever have this problem? It sounds like the a/c clutch clicks on, or off and then the truck lurches forward if you are not careful, read have a secure foot on the brake!
