Default Matt from Bethlehem, PA

Hi, I'm Matt

Recently bought a Ranger (used)/ Lurking for the past week.

2000 2.5 4cyl automatic.

Got a few questions on it and trying to get it up and running perfectly. Planning on running it for a long time.

Got a bit of a shifting problem. Won't go into reverse and gives me a real hard time going into 1st and 2nd. Either have to manually force it to shift by selecting 1st or 2nd on the column or play with the gas peddle to make it. Refuses to shift normally.

This occurred right after terminating the plug on the IAC. Turned out one of the wires was damaged on it so put a new plug on the end. CEL turned off afterwards but now got this weird shift problem.

Some people say just change the fluid. Others say it might be the solenoid. Others say the trans needs to be rebuilt / replaced. Any ideas?
