Transmission Problems!
Hi I just bought a 2002 Ranger Edge 3.0L V6 and was told it was in good shape with no problems. come to find out a few days later the O/D Light started flashing and come to find out it's the light of death for the transmission! anyways here is the code and a description from the mechanic I was hoping to get some second opinions on it and make sure i really have to rebuild like he said I should for oh $2600! the code is P0741 and he says the torque converter is stuck off.
converter failing = sprag
1-2 shift soft and flares
2-3 shift harsh and firm
converter noise when engaging lock up
slip speed is around 300 rpm until growling stops then drops to 1-3 rpm
So I only half way know what this all means so hopefully some one can give me some idea if it can be fixed without a total rebuild! It will save me a ton of money but i also want it to work right! thanks guys glad i found the site!
