My 2000 ranger has been a rollercoaster ride when it comes to problems!! My transmission (5R55E) hard shifts into second gear, and if i punch the accelerator it will smooth shift into second and then erratically shift into third. My overdrive light also blinks when these events happen. The light will go off if i turn the vehicle off. I am forced to drive with the overdrive off to avoid the light from blinking. I have replaced the ABS speed sensor, the O2 sensors, the AIC (air idle control), the plugs, wires, coilpack and have cleaned the MAF sensor. I have no vacuum leaks or unplugged sensors. The trans fluid is full and is the correct color. The fluid smells sligthly burnt? PLEASE HELP!!?? I am at my wits end with this truck!! Thank you!!
