Transmission problem
1986 Ford Ranger 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
i have a 1986 ford ranger, automatic transmission with overdrive. i have a 2.9 v6 2 wheel drive. i was recently driving on the highway and my truck was slipping outa gear and when i would slow down it would slam back into gear than it just stayed outa gear. i recently have been leaking tranny fluid and did need my rear seal replaced. Now i cannot drive it and just want to know if i need a new tranny for my truck or is there something i can do that would be a lot cheaper. And if i do need a new tranny what other possibly transmisions can i put into my truck from other vehicles? keeping in mind that in my truck the shifter is in the floor. thnx, i hope someone can give me an answer.

Check the fluid make sure it is not low and look at the color it should be pinkish red or orange (if it hasnt been changed in awhile)
