Hey I have 2019 ford ranger xlt. 62000 miles. There’s a hard shift between 1st to 3rd like a stutter but skip 2nd gear. But 3rd and 4th can be a little harsh when it engages. Some time the transmission get stuck in 4th gear and the car is stopped . It feels like the transmission doesn’t know what gear to go in. I feel like it might be the tcm. Any body have any idea what’s the wrong ?

Prepare for bad news.

Yours sounds like a true CDF Bushing slip. Only remedy is to rebuild it or get a new one.

in D or S?
have you tried shifting up with the + / - button, does that get you above 4?
sounds like more of an electronic or sensor problem than tranny....

62,000 miles? Just outside of drivetrain warranty? Take it to a dealer ASAP and prepare to plead with Ford Cares - maybe you'll catch a break on replacement.

For Ford cars that are out of warranty, you can contact Ford customer support at 1-800-392-3673.

For specific issues related to Ford Protect Extended Service Plans, you can contact IPP customer service at 888-352-7901.

If you have a decent dealer they may help guide you. The TSB on the 10R80 for our trucks of your build year is helpful to have in hand.

Mine was $6700 or so outside of warranty. I probably quote a different number every time I post. But I dont really remember it. Because ford cares showed me they care just not 100%. I paid $2200 the rest was ford. I had 75k and it was 4 years old.
