Consumer Description

I DRIVE THE 2003 FORD RANGER EDGE V-6, 3.0. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR...IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES THROUGH OUT THE YEAR I'VE HAD THE TRUCK. THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY FROM 0-25 MPH. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY TURNED ME AWAY BLAMING ME FOR THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM....EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
