I can help , but I will need more details like does it seem almost ok when you are already moving, but is much harder to get in gear once you have stopped? Any noises? Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level for the clutch? Does it go into gear much easier with the engine turned off and truck is stopped? Does it seem to grind morre when reaching for reverse? I dont know how old this post is but if you still need the help.........

Why would a 1996 Ford Ranger shift hard but shift when it is supposed to?

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.


On a 1996 power stroke f350 why does it shift hard without a load and the OD light was blinking to?

Try changing the wheel speed sensor on the back on the transmission. I had the same problem and it shifted the same way. I had a 99 so it might be different. I had one on my differential and also the back on the tranny.
