Just picked up a 89 ford ranger 4x4 2.6 v6 auto. I know theres issues with the OD in these vehicles so I just want some input. My truck for some reason will not go into OD at all. When I start the car I have to pull the shift lever quickly down into drive otherwise its almost like it gets stuck in neutral. If for some reason I dont get the car into drive and the shift lever shifts to OD Im not able to drive the truck in any gear unless I turn it off put it in park and start it again. Is this a major transmission issue or can it be fixed easily? Also the truck isnt worth much but it is nice would this even be worth fixing? Can I drive the truck in Drive on the freeway cuz it seems like the rpms are pretty high when I took on the freeway the other day. Thanks for the input

what tranny do you have, on the 5r55e there like 5-6 solenoids on the valve body that can cause problems and a there is a small screen that could also be blocked in the valve body, sounds like at least drop the tranny pan and look at the valve body then new fluid
