I have a 03 ranger fx4. i was driving down the road and needed to speed up, at 60 mph i punch it and when it would usually go to 2nd gear, but it didnt, is just reved up to about 6,000 rpm and never made the shift. this has happed 3 to 4 times when trying to down shift to that gear for power. always between 60-75 mph. i can floor it an any other gear and works fine. what do you guys think. i heard that it could be a bad Clutch Band in the tranny. I would hate to get a new tranny if i dont really need it. but i wanted to see if any other ranger owners had have the same thing happen, or no what im talking about. thanks for your help

Is your O/D Off light flashing?

How many miles, and was it serviced when needed?

Sounds to me like something that could be caused by a stuck servo.

I stopped for gas and when i restarted the light stopped blinking
