We have a 94 Ranger, 2wd with a 3.0. A4LD that is not picking up fluid from the pan. This is the second overhauled transmission with this problem. We've installed a different torque converter, different pump, different valve body and different case and filter. Same problem as original trans after rebuild. Car came in shop with high mileage, leaking out the front but it drove ok. We've checked the torque converter travel from flywheel and pump gears. They are still on the hub where they need to be after install. Any suggestions??????

 

A C-3 modulator was installed by accident. The wrong modulator blocked the valve which gave the unit high line pressure, not allowing fluid to be drawn out of the pan. Thanks.

 

I own a 1992 Ford Ranger 6 cylinder 4 speed + overdrive. It sometimes will go into reverse just fine and at others it shifts into reverse but when you let up on the clutch nothing happens the truck remains in neutral and a very loud grinding occurs. You can feel this grinding in the shifter ****. It now occasionally does this between gears however the sound goes away when accelerating or stopped, it only seems to happen when decelerating or reverse. I drained the tranny oil and replaced. No luck. It tends to be fine when it is cold, however gets increasingly difficult when the truck has been driven for a bit. I've talked around trying to gain advice, some people say the tranny's gone others tell me its a bearing on my clutch. I have never had a truck that grinds and whines at me so I'm not sure what to think and would like some other people's opinions before dropping my tranny
