- 2004 Ford Explorer XLT
Hello,
I have a 2004 Ford Explorer XLT with about 126,000 miles. Recently, I have been having some issues with slipping gears or not going into gear. It hesitates when going from 2nd to 3rd and sometimes 4th. Also it's worst when the temperature is cold outside. I have a 5R55S transmission and the fluid was changed about 65,000 miles. I have read several posts about issues with the solenoid and other problems. My question Is there an easy way to diagnose the problem without just start replacing parts that are known to cause issues? Second has anyone had the solenoid replaced and if so what is the cost to have someone else do it?
