Default Hard Shifting Tranny

Hello all

I just picked up a 1997 Ranger STX. Very shortly after my purchase, the Check Engine light came on and its now shifting hard. Any thoughts?
Its an automatic with 4.0L

Thanks for any help
Tim

had an f-150 that acted that way, it was because of the ck eng light. problem in the engine diagnostic system made the tranny not want to shift. Changed some sensors and fixed it right up. you need to see if you can get someone to run the diagnostic codes and clear the problem. tranny problem will likely go away.
