Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving to work one morning, and the o/d light (over drive light) started to flash on my 2001 ford ranger xlt 4.0 v-6 4x4 truck. i had no idea in what that meant. i drove to work, i called around and that is a trouble condition on the transmission, i said on the tranny it only has 73 thousand miles on it. i was surprised, and the truck is very well kept up. i took it a well know transmission place to have it looked at, and test drove, along with the computer check, and it came back with a reading "incorrect gear ratio on 3". i was like what is that, he said that is ugly. so i took it and got 2 more inquiries, and 1 from a dealership. all the same 3 rd gear trouble. i contacted ford, and spoke to heather, and needless to say she said that it was only my that has the issue with the transmission no one else does. there was a tsb message put out about this trouble in may of 01, so ford knows there is a problem. its going to now cost me a mim of 1500.00 to a max of 2100.00 to fix this transmission. *jb
