My '97 Ford Ranger standard transmission exhibits high idle conditions while shifting between gears. My dealer was never able to fix the problem since I bought the vehicle new. My vehicle is no longer under bumper to bumper and emissions warranty but I have saved receipts of their attempts to fix the problem during time vehicle was warranted back in 1997. I recently discovered that the Ford motor company has found the exact same high idle problem with their 1998 to 2000 model Rangers and they issued a technical service bulletin tsb00-3-5. When I called my dealer to inquire and ask them to include my '97 Ranger in the bulletin, they were evasive and wouldn't help. I would like to know what my options are. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. P. S. For your info, the technical service bulletin can be found at ( case sensitive, please type exactly) v8sho. Com/sho/tsb00-3-5. Html .
While the key is out of the ignition, the defective manual transmission malfunctioned, the vehicle rolled away which almost caused an accident.
When trying to pass other cars or when going into passing gear transmission goes into netural, you have to take foot of gas padel and step on gas pedal and the truck goes back into gear. Transmission has been replaced and dealer will not make any more repairs.
When the vehicle is parked in 1st gear and on an incline the truck jumps into nuetral and rolls.
