So I have a 2001 Ford Ranger 4.0 v6 and Friday I pulled up to a intersection and stopped and when I went to pull off I wasn’t on the throttle hard I kinda eased on in then I decided I wanted to race off so I gave it some more and it hit 25ish and I gave it more and when it went to down shit it Down shifted and just lost all power to the wheels. I believe it’s the transmission because I can put it in reverse and drive and it’ll get up to 3k rpms before it even budges but if I put it in 1 or 2 it’s move just fine and when I’m up to speed I can put it in drive and it’ll drive fine but the thing is there’s no noises or anything? But I don’t know. I figured if it’s done for I would put a 5speed in it but I was wondering if anyone knew what I needed and what trans I needed to keep 4wd
PLEASE HELP!

Sounds like your torque converter is fucked. I would take it to a reputable trans shop could also be bad valve body. Either way doesn’t sound like an easy fix.

Yeah I know I figured it was my torque converter cause a few days before I got on it and it kept jerking but I let off and it acted fine

Since the transmission needs to be removed to replace the torque converter,might as well have them go over the trans too.

I definitely will! Since this is the second trans that’s been in the truck I might as well

Fluid and filter changes every 30k make these transmissions last a lot.

Well, not so much when you try driving them like your living life a 1/4 mile at a time...

That is nonsense. Pull the dipstick out and check the fluid, if it looks normal, why waste money?

Because when you live in a high traffic area and tow a boat a lot your trans fluid is done by then. And the trans on my last Ranger was all original at 235k. Fluid and filter changes are much cheaper then a rebuild. At 235k every 30,000 equals about $1,410 if it costs $180 per service. Which is still cheaper. That’s what nonsense it is.
