When I start up in the morning or afternoon drive the vehicle drives perfectly no problems at all. As soon as I stop and turn off the vehicle the next time I turn on and put it into gear I have a hard time engaging. I move the shifter to lower gears and I will engage and go real slow or engage regularly. On a close real slow I rev up the engine still goes slow and then will finally kick in to regular gear. And then it will drive normal. I could drive it a hundred miles in the city and it will shift normal. I checked the fluid and it is full. No check engine light comes on at all. Anyone have any ideas?

This sounds like a textbook servo bore issue that the transmissions in several models, including rangers have. The servo is made of high strength steel but the transmission bore is soft aluminum so over time and mileage it will wear and fluid will leak past the bore and not actuate the servo correctly. There is a company that specializes in a repair kit for these because all ford has is a brass sleeve that doesn't work very well over time. Fordservoborefixsolution. Com is the site that offers these kits.
