As you know I bought an 04 Ranger with 217k highway miles. The only time
the transmission ever slips is when shifting into 3rd. It doesn't do it
all the time though. Transmission fluids perfect, what else is there to
check and what can I do to repair it? Thanks guy's.

bump?

I am by no means a transmission expert, but.....I'll take a stab. It may
just be a bad band. Have you tried changing the fluid or adding some sort
of additive? This may not be a permanent fix, but could put off a rebuild
for a little while.

Put lucas transmission additive in there and changed the fluid at the same
time, doesn't slip as bad but again it does have 217k miles on it.

Any idea how many of those miles were on the existing clutch? Does it slip
at all in any higher gears? I'm thinking you might not notice it in 1st or
2nd so much because the revs will be generally higher than if in 3rd, 4th
or 5th. :thumbs:

Automatic. No higher gear slipping at all.

Sorry. When you were talking about shifting in to third, presuming you were
doing the shifting etc, I assumed it was a manual (although in hindsight, I
guess I probably should have known from viewing the pictures...).

Man, you're just jumping to conclusions with his truck every chance you
get. :doh: :oops:
