98 Ford Ranger Automatic Transmission Slips!!!
I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT super cab with an auto transmission. I got it used from a reliable car dealer about a year and a half ago (part of my divorce settlement).
This week, while driving on the freeway (65-75mph) it slipped out of gear. My RPM's went up and I let off the gas. (since it wasn't in gear anyway). After a few seconds, it went back in and I tried to baby it home. Then near home, It did it again, but took a few seconds longer to go back in. It seems to drive fine in town with 1-3rd gear, but not in OD
So since then, I haven't left town and drive with the OD/OFF and on streets that I won't be going over 40 mph on. I need to take the freeway agin in a couple weeks and need to get it fixed soon!
Got any ideas on what the problem is? I check the fluid level, it was fine. Checked all the fluids while I was under the hood.
Please, no stupid or crude comments when you reply.
