    2016 Explorer Crazy Transmission Issue

    Hello All, I have a 16 Explorer with 36k on it. Since about 25k, I have been experiencing my transmission occasionally slamming into gear. When slowly accelerating from a red light/stop sign, mostly when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear, engine will go from 2-3k rpm to about 5-6k rpm...

At 80k miles I started experiencing hard clunking shifts, shuddering during shifts and an occasional flare from second to third gear. I took it to the Ford dealer and had them flush the tranny. Was...

    My 2004 Explorer Tranny Nightmare... hoping this Lucas will help.

    EDIT: Can a mod please move this to the transmission board. Thanks! /End Edit 2004 Stock Explorer - Purchased around 80k miles from the Ford Dealership. No clue if the ATF had ever been changed. Like a noob, I didn't change the ATF or filter when I got it. I just drove that sucker -- a lot. I...

    Hard shifting manual

    I know there are many threads on this subject but I can't seem to find one that fits my problem. I can put it in gear, but its like driving a tank through a brick wall at times. I have to move the stick back and forth and side to side a lot for it to finally fall into gear. Any any attempt to...
