What Went Wrong? Ford Ranger Tear Down

I cannot even fathom the knowledge needed to put something like that back together. That's why these guys are at the top of the league! Great upload again Rod and Co.

My transmission just started playing up under load while towing when it got warm, so I decided to check online and came across this video. You guys really put it together well. Thank you for this informative video.

As a ranger owner in NZ I very much appreciated the vid , I used an Auckland based auto Trans specialist guy to sort out the shudder in the gear box and he correctly identified the valve body as the problem , Inhave suggested he get in touch with you guys and sends over valve bodies for rebuilds , the cooler thermostat was an eye opener , might get him To replace the existing one with your kit in order to get the system To run cooler and thus save the valve body wear much appreciated

Had my PX2 ranger valve body replaced with the nomand.. nice sharp gear changes.. after watching this video I know I need the billet torque converter to make the ranger spot on. Great videos

I heard about the rangers automatic transmission failed alot & going into alot of mechanic workshops alot but your video is absolutely awesome looks like you guys have done hundreds of ford ranger transmissions keep up the good work guys 👍

I've absorbed every step, procedure, part and tests you guys conducted blissful in the knowledge I will never have to recall or do any of it - you guys do it so much better! Cheers!

Good Stuff Guys!. Love the way you articulate your thoughts around causes and solutions. I can appreciate your trans cooler recommendations through your informative video. Great work. Cheers.

🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m old skool, so manual gearboxes are what I’m happy with, but this just does my head in so I won’t be playing with one of these any time soon. Great job thanks 👍🏿

Well explained and educational for Ranger and BT-50 owners with and without transmission problems.

I'm impressed with the amount of engineering that goes into these boxes, & also impressed with your mechanical skills & knowledge. Love these videos.

Very happy with our rebuilt transmission from you guys, hoping to have a good run with it now. Cheers, Dave and Fiona, Maitland NSW

What an awesome video. Thanks gents. Love these tear down type vids. Triton, Hilux, Navara boxes etc would be awesome to see broken down.

So good to see a tear down of one of these auto’s and glad the internals are generally reliable. I have already fitted one of your coolers and a thermo bypass valve to my PXII Ranger and also a B & M filler tube/dip stick so I can the fluid regularly.

You blokes are gold walking. Please stay in business be ause your knowledge and expertise is worth every cent. I will be ordering a cooler for my everest.

Great breakdown and analysis. I would add that the ongoing mindset of using the torque converter clutch strategy of allowing slip instead of on-off full lockup ( to compensate for these smaller engines to move a big mass) adds miniscule converter clutch material floating through the valve block wearing like an abrasive and in some cases ruins and locks the pump bushing to the converter after blowing out the pump seal. Now add the magical lifetime fluid, and inadequate trans fluid cooling leads to failure imo.

An absolutely "CLASS" episode guys!!! 👌 Love what you have done here, and how you've done it as well. Exceptionally informative, and downright detailed. I own & drive an '18 model 3.2 Wildtrak, back here in South Africa, and honestly don't know of anyone who could and/or would be able to do such a high end re-build of this nature. If ever (touch wood it doesn't) my box "goes" I might actually consider getting a fully refurbished, and cooled, unit in from you guys. BTW, my car currently has 57k kms on the odo, as I also own & use other vehicles as well as a motorcycle or two, on a "rotational" basis.

love these videos - so interesting about how much goes into a transmission/how much can go wrong

Gday, I throughly enjoy these videos and good to see another member of the team, I always enjoy learning something new and your videos are really informative, thanks for taking the time to educate us all, cheers

Thank you for the very informative video gentlemen. As someone who has the 3.2l Ford auto I am heard of the gremlins and its great to see 99% of the issues are an easy-ish fix when they do start. Always a pleasure watching the in-depth videos you guys do 👍👍

Absolutely loved it boys, and I'm a manual guy. Please follow-up with eps on all of the mainstream 4wd autos, love ur work.
