My 2000 Ford Ranger will not go into reverse, but will go in to drive. I have changed filter and fluids. Any idea's.

check transmission fluid level. May have a leak.

itcould bea stuck valve in trans. you can try changing the fluid @ filter go back with new fluid and add lucas trans trtmnt it works great for trans w/stuck valves

Are you getting a check engine lite? Whether you do or don't scan for codes, and follow up from there.
But I think you may have to have TCM reprogrammed.

Hi!

After vehicle has been driven a couple o miles, check transmission fluid level and condition (in park, motor running) should be of a pinkish color, almost transparent if looks darker, change fluid and filter. If level is low, check for leaks. Replace with manufacturer recomended type.

If your problem just started, there is a good chance to fix it following my recomendation.

Good Luck!!!

Check the fuel pump, water pump, drive belts, pulley tensor, timing belt, fuel filter, oil filter, oil, transmission filter, transmission oil, transmission, battery, spark plugs, power steering, power steering fluid, wiring, alternator and battery.

For the fluids or hydraulics mentioned above, if it has not been replaced, have it replaced.

unfortunatly stop leak products some time glog the fluid journals. try to change the filter and fluid and cross your fingers this helps

When you say "pull" I assume you mean it wont go foward..
1st thing -check the trani fluid while the engine is running in park..
The tranies in these trucks are known to give out.. Reverse is usually run on the 3rd gear band.. It could mean that the band for 1st gear is damaged.. Could also be a vacume & or modulator issue.. Some trani shops give free estimates..

try taking the trannie pan off (drain fluid first) and get a filter kit at the parts store, about 15 or 20 dollars(easy to change) that may help, but this happens to high milage rangers. unless you have a linkage problem thats probably your only hope.

sorry these are famous in the feature you have only if you change the filter and fluid regular as recommended as suggested from factory for some reason that reverse band is famous in older models it could be adjusted! I know some of fords other models have a digital transmission!!! oh dear to those to!!!good luck hope this helped you

check transmission fluid level with engine running and in reverse with handbrake on and chocks under wheels
