- In this video I show you how to assemble the main case of a 1998 Ford Ranger 4R44E Transmission. The transmission is out of a 2wd truck so it has the standard tail cone. I use the ATSG documentation for the torque specs of the assembly.

I have a question about my 2011 Ford Ranger Transmission. (2WD Automatic) It was supposed have been replaced about 2 1/2 years ago and was working fine until last year when a problem started occurring. when leaving to go somewhere the transmission would go into drive fine, however after going a short distance of a few blocks and usually when coming to a stoplight, when I go to accelerate from the stop the transmission lose drive gear, after stopping and shifting into park, or reverse it eventually will engage again and go on shifting normally. A couple times it did continue to slip. However it typically would return to normal operation without further problems. I found the problem seemed to be less frequent during the hot Phoenix summer. I checked the fluid level and it was ok. I found more increasingly lately I would lose drive when entering the freeway during acceleration and have avoided driving on the freeway completely. The problem has became very frequent when leaving for the past few months but typically goes away after the initial loss of drive which will "Engage' after a few seconds or longer and no longer slip or act up and operate normally.
Today while driving close by after and during rain and cooler temps that Drive completely failed after stopping a couple places a block away and then refueling. Reverse also would not engage completely and slipped, but D1 and D2 worked ok and I did make it home. I tried several time to go and try it in Drive and Reverse, and drove around the mobile home park to see if things would return to normal, but it continues to slip badly. It did flash the O/D light during these tests which from my research indicated slippage after 3 attempts.
I tried adding additional fluid but the problem continued. Tonight I let it run idling in park for about 20 minutes. When I tried it again it seemed to work as normal without slippage, however I did not take it out on the street, only at slower speed around the park where it did shift from 1st to 2nd fine and had no apparent slippage. Last year I did remove the equivalent of a bottle of Lucus Transmission Treatment worth of transmission fluid drawn from the Dipstick Tube, and added the Lucus treatment hoping to resolve the issues, which did seem to help, but may have been due to operating at hotter temps during the summer.
Do you have any suggestions? Would a fluid & filter change be advised? I would guess I have about 30K miles on the "Replaced Transmission" and everything operated normal for over a year until the problems stated occurring. The fluid I removed looked good, not dark or contaminated. Do these symptoms indicate a problem with transmission electronic controls/computer module or shift solenoids? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried finding videos on this ford automatic transmission with similar issues with no luck. It's odd that the transmission fails like this after just driving less than a block or a few blocks and stopping, not able to engage in drive when starting forward acceleration again, then within a few seconds or sometime after rolling to place to pull over then stopping, trying shifting to park, reverse etc.. then it will engage and operate normally with no slippage.
I just found today that D1& D2 worked when Drive and Reverse would slip badly with almost no engagement, just slight forward and backward movement respectively. I did not rev the motor excessively as to not do damage, or have a "Hard Engagement" and break something.
Watching your video has been a serious help, keep them coming! A question, 1995 4r44e behind a 3.0 V6. It has a 5 clutch forward clutch drum. top 3 clutches were worn out not steel to steel cross hatch on a couple side was gone and friction base and adjacent steels were pretty much burnt Truck lost all forward gears. Is the 6 clutch forward clutch drum from the 4r55e a possible upgrade? Oh and in middle of taking forward clutch drum it rolled of table and cracked hub so I have to get a new hub anyway just wondering if 6 clutch hub is an option?
WILL THAT FIXTURE WORK WITH A C4 TRANSMISSION
It should have no issue with the Ford C4. I actually found it on Amazon and this is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XHGLR8L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
