Have you checked the fluid level, It could have lost a little fluid over the years even sitting there.
The "automatic gearbox" Volkswagen used to put in Beetles is an "autostick" transmission. It has a three-speed manual transmission connected to a vacuum-operated clutch and a torque converter. There's no clutch pedal but you still have to shift it.
An automatic transmission on Ford Ranger holds three quarts of transmission fluid. That is after you drain all the old transmission fluid out.
It can be done, but may not be the most feasible.

You should feel it shift from 1st to 2d then 2nd to 3rd. It is a three speed transmission so it will shift twice.
TH125 three speed.

Yes. That car has an "autostick" transmission. It's a three-speed manual gearbox coupled to an "automatic clutch." Basically, there's a very sensitive switch (a "microswitch") under the shifter. When you put your hand on the shifter, it closes the switch and works the clutch. After you shift and let go of the handle, it lets the clutch out and you can drive. Not only do you shift the car, you have to remember not to let your hand rest on the shift knob...you'll slow down in a hurry and you won' t know why.
Automatic trans fluid has three basic types: Mercon for older Fords, "Dexron plus three" for Chrysler and plain Dexron for everything else. You need ordinary Dexron Automatic Transmission fluid
It has a four speed automatic transmission. At the time, most automatic transmissions only had three speeds. Bogus answer. 4-matic is all-wheel drive. Nothing to do with the transmission! And that is the correct answer
Two automatic transmissions were available in 1986. Three speed automatic (says PRND21 on shift indicator on dash on console) is a Turbo Hydramatic 125C (TH125C). Later models it was called the 3T40. Four speed automatic (says PRN@D21 on shift indicator, and says "AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE" in tinier letters over that) is a Turbo-Hydramatic 440-T4. Later models had the 4T60 which is a different transmission entirely.
Three. Or (with overdrive) four. Plus reverse, of course!
