Transmission code

[Ridgerunner]

I got the trans code for my truck which is a T. When I was able to find the code,it listed as a Automatic 4 speed (Ranger) I was thing it was a AOD trans so I am a little confused.

Is this the AOD trans Automatic 4 speed (Ranger) ?

AOD is a 4 speed...


3 regular forward gears with a 4th thats Overdrive...

your gear selector in you dash shows PRN(D)D1

to disengage overdrive just select the D without the circle..

That is what I was thinking.

Yeah Chris I know all that. I just needed to make sure so I can get the right rebuild kit for my trans.

iirc the mustang enthusiasts found if you shift from D to 1 then back to D before it shifts down to 1 it holds in 2nd... but it wasn't good for it....

Useless piece of information...

I guess they were too broke to buy a shift kit.

it will... but it is NOT good for it..

it's also not good for the trans to have OD engaged if speeds are 45 mph or less... the trans has a high od ratio and that pumps the fluid real slow..

thats part of why mine when i bought it was burnt up...

Chris you are correct. Most people don't realize on our trucks to drive or tow in the 2nd D. Newer cars and trucks are easier since the computer controls the trans more.

yeah.. but the od engages at 35 mph'ish...

Mine isn't going into OD and when it gets hot it likes to surge,buck, and try to die between 15mph and 35 mph. I know is it isn't the engine I put it in netural when it does that and revs didn't change. Check the fluid nice and clean but something is wrong inside. So I am going to get a rebuild kit and tear it down.

yeah.. sounds like your trans is letting go..... but im no expert

Been watching videos on you tube and it seems straight forward to rebuild. I just need to get everything together so i can rebuild it. I am also thinking about lowering it while I am waiting to buy the kit. Rebuild kit, manual to rebuild it,shift kit will run about $300.00 which isn't bad.

surge,buck, and try to die between 15mph and 35 mph

Sounds like the lock up converter is sticking...

I think so too but the OD isn't kicking in. I will try that first.

Have you had it warmed up? when it's cold many of them won't go into od...

AODs are rather weak, and your's is probably shot, but I'd hate to see you redo it unneededly

No the trans was hot when all this happened. So more than likely it is shot.

sounds like it...
