94 4.0L V6 automatic transmission problems

My ranger in a 94 4.0L V6 SXT 4x4 5-speed auto
just recently it has had trouble shifting into 2nd and I've had significant power loss.
It's also been making questionable down-shifts
when I try manually shift 2nd doesn't lock into place going or stopped, it goes to first
wondering if anyone has any experience in this or any ideas to help

is the o/d light flashing

The O/D light isn't on, overdrive works fine as well as reverse
I've driven it through 15 gallons of gas with dry gas and injector cleaner and "good stuff" treatment and there was no change

And instead of it having trouble shifting into second I've found that it doesn't shift into second at all
it won't shift into third unless I let off the gas up to the point where I can hit the governed 6000rpms in first
