Hey everyone,
Longtime reader, first time poster. Figured I'd share my transmission story since it sounds like others are going through similar issues as well. Bought my Ranger last August with 27k miles on the odometer. I've been loving it so far, but I've definitely noticed some occasional harsh shifting coming from the transmission.
Most often I've noticed it after a cold start; shifting into reverse can be harsh, and when it would shift between 4 and 5 it would hesitate and then lurch into gear. For this reason I would try to remote start it whenever possible which seemed to help, but even then I would notice the odd shift every once in a while.
Took it to my local dealer (Larry H Miller Mesa) w/ around 36k on the clock, and asked them to check the transmission fluid level, and to check for any module updates for the transmission. I've had pretty good luck with this dealership so far with some other minor warranty stuff, so I figured I'd have them take a look to see what they said.
Trucks been in the shop for 3 days now, and finally got an update from them saying they're going to be replacing all of the valves in the transmission (hoping to have it back next week). I think I read somewhere that there was a TSB for the Ranger's transmission, not sure if this valve replacement is part of that TSB.
Looking forward to getting the Ranger back next week and seeing if this hopefully fixes the issues I've been noticing. I'll post an update once I have a chance to see how it behaves after the repair.
