If the transmission has a 'vacuum modulator' on it, this part has a vacuum line going to it. If the line is unhooked or has a split, hard shifts as you are feeling will occur.
Find the modulator, probably on the right side of the tranny somewhat high up, and follow the line back to where it gets vacuum off the intake, looking for a problem.
Or, the modulator may have failed. If the diaphram inside is burst, it will pull tranny fluid into the intake, where it will mix with the air into the cylindars, and will be burned. Your tranny fluid will drop as it is burned in the engine.
Turn engine off. plug in your code reader. Turn key to run position engine still off. (accessory position) Then test. OBD1 on that year ford sometimes my scanner tells me to then again turn key off, then back on to accessory in order to scan it.
, and clean up ground connections that go to the body.
I also pull out the relays and sprayed some electrical cleaner into the connectors.
Probably a bad ground, loose connection.
I ask, because I'm car shopping for a new car, and I'd like a objective measure of my current ranger's acceleration for comparison.
It seems like the auto press has avoided the 3.0L ranger like the plague, because *all* of the reviews I have found are for the 4.0L. I haven't timed the 0-60 myself because, well it's hard to find a place where you can legally stop, and then floor the gas and hit 60, all whilst timing the whole darn thing with a stop watch.
I did see a few youtube videos that hit 60 around 14 seconds. I'm sure you could drop at least a half second off that with a trained driver brake torquing or something.
I always knew my ranger was slow (passing is usually a white knuckle event requiring hundreds of yards of clear space), but I had no idea it was that bad. I think I could just about be smoked by a smart lol... :sick:

If you find something on the 3.0L, please let me know.
Well, golly.
1/4 mile mph.
1/4 mile et.
1/8 mile mph.
1/8 mile et.
60 foot et.
Still no 0-60mph et.....
I guess we may never know.
We have 1 2006 Ford Ranger Diesel 3.0lts 5 speed manual trans and 1 2007 Ford Ranger Diesel 2.8lts 5 speed manual trans. Both had to be overhauled but the engine have no power. We have set the timing to what the manual is stating but it bearly reaches 80 kms per hour in 4th gear. We have scanned it to see if a sensor is bad but the scanner does not pick up anything. Can someone give me some advise?
