Ok...not a Mustang question but close...

My Mom has a 97 Ranger 4cyl/automatic. Nice truck, runs great, etc etc. Only problem is when she shifts into drive there is a significant delay before it engages. The fluid level was not reading on the stick so her boyfriend filled it, but it still happens. Oh, they say it only happens when cold.

The truck had been sitting for about 6-8 months. Could the valving be gummed up and just need a flush or do you think this is more serious than that?

Thanks,

Rich D.
