push really hard!!
too low trans flid
your transmission shifting in some fords are controlled by the computer.,try reprograming the computer.
It would be hard to get into gear and would make grinding noises when shifting.
It needs to be taken apart to find the problem. Once that is done the transmission always gets a complete rebuild since it's apart anyway.
Check on the bottom side of the transmission for a plug that may have came unplugged. It will make it shift really hard if it is unplugged.
possible problems: broken engine mounts cause the engine to jerk, or tranmission fluid needs change, and possibly bad transmission.
It sounds like the Cabriolet has a possible problem with the shifter forks. The transmission will need to be pulled apart to see what the problem is for sure.
its a really hard concept, just bring it into an auto shop.
AnswerIt could be dirty fluid or a dirty filter in the transmission. That would be the best place to start if that doesnt work I would take to a transmission shop and have the bands adjusted.the 1996 ford ranger has a shift solenoid located on the transmission. This shows up when a diagnostic is run at your local advance store.
Transmission probably not hurt but it is hard on the clutch and can really strain the engine. If the driver didn't know what he/she was doing, it MIGHT be a little hard on the clutch, but it wouldn't really make much difference even then. In othe words, no problem.
