Transmission acting funny
I’ve a 2002 ford ranger edge 3.0, automatic, 4x4
The other day I was driving and it would not let me go over 30mph 3000rpm it would shake and buck if I tried to gain speed,
This stopped after I stopped and put it in park then back to drive. Now I have a vibration in the front and in the steering wheel when driving around 40 if I put my food down and it shifts gear it goes away.
I’d appreciate if anyone has any knowledge/ experience as to why this may be happened
Thanks

Do you have a check for engine light on? It might be a misfire. When I first bought my truck, it would shake super BAD at 30+mph. And it ended up being a misfire on cylinder 3. If no check engine light, pull out your spark plugs and check them for any oil on the tip, that would cause a misfire incase your computer hasnt sensed it yet. I honestly don’t think it’s your transmission.

Re: Transmission acting funny
I shall look tomorrow and let you know what I find.
I do not have a check engine light on there is also no codes pending when I plugged my reader in. She only wouldn’t go over 3000 rpm once she still gets moving no problem now.
What did you do to fix your misfire?

I checked plugs and all are fine. She drives good all the time but only shakes at 40-45 mph anything under or over them speeds once it changes gears she runs perfect

To fix my misfire the mechanics cleaned my fuel injectors, it helped for a while, then it came back, but I replaced my spark plugs after it came back and I saw oil on the tip of cylinder 3 spark plug so I’m thinking doing one and not the other made it come back but doing the spark plugs finished it off I’m assuming. I’ve driven it 10k miles since and no misfire!! So maybe have your fuel injectors cleaned? I cant remember how much it cost or if you can do it yourself, I was in school AND work at the time so I didnt have time to do it myself.

Yeah I remember replacing my spark plugs, spark plug wires, and the box the spark plug wires lead to. I forgot what it’s called damn it lol but after having my injectors cleaned, it helped a lot to do my spark plugs after

Good idea, if you’re going to do that, use some SEAFOAM instead. I’ve heard of some miracle stories haha but buy it at walmart or fredmeyers, not an auto parts place. 11 something at autozone compared to 8 at Walmart here in Oregon
