Does the Ford Ranger have a V6 option?
Two different engines are offered on the Ranger. A 4.0L V6 engine making 207 horsepower and 238 pounds-feet of torque is also available. Both engines come standard with a 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 5-speed automatic.
Which Ford Ranger engine is better?
While both engines provide adequate propulsion for a 4×4 ute, the more powerful engine (unsurprisingly) gives better overall performance. The 3.2-litre engine is initially slightly more willing off the line, but the smaller donk is more flexible and responsive once rolling.
Are there transmission problems in a 2002 Ford Ranger?
Have a 2002 Ranger with a 3.0 liter V6. At about 34,000 miles the auto transmission had displayed some strange shifting problems. On the freeway, the shifts did not seem correct, and when starting out in the morning I could put it in drive and press on the gas and the engine just rev’ed and no gear.
How often do you shift a Ford Ranger?
I own a 2000 Ford Ranger with a 3.0 Flex Fuel engine and a 5 speed manual transmission with 170,000 miles. Sometimes when I stop at a traffic light, I cannot shift to any gear. I turn off truck and then I’m able to shift it into gear. This happens about twice a week.
Why is my shift lever not working on my Ford Ranger?
Managed to stop it but injured my knee. Found pin from shifter mechanism on the floor under steering column that had fallen out of shifter. Shifter would not stay in “park” afterwards but kept jumping into “neutral” and “reverse”. Spring tension of the shift indicator would pull it out of “park” as soon as the lever was released.
What does the shift indicator mean on a Ford Ranger?
Vehicle popped into “neutral” about 75 to 100 times and into “reverse” about 50 times. Had to hold the lever in “park” to restart. About a week or so after the initial failure, I heard a loud “sproing” and a “snap” sound. Shift indicator went all the way to the right in “d1” position.
