[QUOTE="Ken Taverna, post: 893544, member: 68025"] downsouth, Same exact thing happened to me with my 2000 ranger early this year. I was slipping b/w 2-3 unless I floored it. I was at 115K miles. Was getting up to almost 3K rpm before it made the switch to third gear. I was told by a ford tech that the problem was the trans valve body and recommended dropping the entire trans and re-working valve body/torque converter. He said the reason for re-working the torque converter was merely for my own good; that chances are it would go soon also and then would have to pay to drop the whole trans out again.
