OK. I pulled off the door panel and took a look around. I managed to find a clip that is broken. Here is the deal. If you put a key into the tumbler and turn it the key wont retract back and it wont lock or unlock the door. If you look in the door panel there is a rod conected to the pin thing...

Ok i took off the 2 screws and want to remove the door panel but i do not want to break any clips. Any tips? Pull up, down, left, right? Thanks

Well this is whats happening. I got the truck back and it seems to be good now but i havent put that many miles on it. Im not really sure what to do now. I know i have been scammed but what should i do?

***UPDATE*** I just got off the phone with the "mechanic". This is what he tells me. He says he cleared the codes from the transmission and cleaned some sort of connection/sensor/plug, and that its all good now. He said this time he test drove it more then around the block (because the...

I really hope they do get it right :( I

He is getting me the car back usually in 1-2 days. He is saying he replaced the torque converter once but three other times it was torque converter related. :thumbdwn:

Do you have a link? Thanks

Correct. $1700 for the "rebuilt" tranny and torque converter. next day it failed. He "fixed" it. Failed again. He "fixed" it. Failed again. He "fixed" it. Failed again. Ect. He is supposed to fix it, but my concern is i dont think he ever will.

After he puts it in he tells me he buys transmissions and everything else "wholesale." He buys them from junkyards. This didn't make me happy either. Anyway he says he installed a rebuilt tranny and rebuilt torque converter. He never said he rebuilt it though. Im not sure if there certified. I...

Hey guys I am in need of serious help. My explorer (95 XLT 4 door 4 wheel drive) was having trouble with the tranny so i brought it to a shop were i got ripped off beyond all belief. Here is the story. O/D light flashing and tranny was not shifting out of first unless you let off the gas and...

Hey guys I own a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT 4 door. Right now the drivers door will not lock. If you hit the lock button on the door or the remote all the doors will unlock and lock normally except the drivers door. It is stuck unlocked. If you look at the little button/pin thing coming up from the...

I need to buy a transfer case for my exploder and i need some help. The truck is a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT, 4 door, 4wd, Automatic, V6. the guy at the shop also said that it is important I mention it is like Sport Trac 4wd or whatever Ford calls it. Is this one correct. I am looking at buying...

Well the last thing I did before it broke was pull out a jetski. Then about 3 hours later it was binding and messed up so i had it towed to the tranny guys shop. The car was never in 4wd low but was in 4wd hi because it was low tide and the tires were slipping on the wet pavement. heres what...

Hey guys heres and update. I had it towed to the tranny guy and this is what I found out. He said the transfer case is broke and i need a new one. He said it is not warrantied under the transmission and it will cost me $1200 installed for a rebuilt tranfer case with all new seals and whatever...

Hey guys. I drive a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT automatic. It currrently has a bunch of problems. I was recently towing a jetski and i pulled it out, everything was fine. The next day I went to go drive and the truck was banging and binding very loudly from what seems to be the mid to rear of the...

Ok guys thanks for the response. Heres an update. I used a 1 1/4" socket ( I figured its a Ford so why use metric socket, but you never know.) I had my truck in for service and the mechanc said the wheel bearing was humming and he could tell it was that b/c it went away when you turned. It...

Hey guys. I drive a 1995 Explorer XLT 4 door 4wd v6. Anyway the front wheel bearing was humming and finally it gave out. I THINK. What happens is the front DRIVER SIDE wheel no longer rolls smooth. It clicks. The car is undrivable now and i need it back for Monday. I have a couple of questions...

hey guys i can't thank you enough for all the info, i feel helpless cause i am not that familiar with the mechanics of my tranny and i feel like my mechanic is trying to get a whole new tranny outta me and i got no money as it is. i will get the codes today from him and post what he claims...

I was talking to a mechanic who talked to the tranny guy so he could have said band and not belt. That could be just a misunderstanding but anyway if it is the intermediate band is that replaceable? If it is the activation of the intermediate band is that replaceable and how can I check if it is...

Hey guys. I brought it to a tranny guy and this is what he told me. He said its going to be $1650 and it needs a whole new transmission. He checked the blinking O/D light and said it read "no second gear" He said something about a 2nd gear belt being bad. Could that be possible that i need a...

Just for another piece of info, the car drove fine right after doing everything the problem kicked in like 5 minutes later if that helps or changes anything. How would i check the throttle position sensor? I did take out one sensor on the intake tube closest to the throttle body and maybe it got...

i have tried disconecting the battery. All it did was clear the flashing o/d light for about 5 minutes then it came back on again and the shifting stayed the same the whole time. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. The truck has about 94,000 miles. How should i go about fixing it from here? If i bring it to autozone and they go to check the codes will anything come up or no because its the tranny? What do you think my next step should be? Take it to a tranny place? What do you think...

Heres an update: I have driven it around some more and if you let off the gas and get back on slowly it will shift into second and slip out if you give it a bit of gas. It shifts from 2 - 3 by itself fine. The O/D light is flashing constantly. I have heard it is the overdrive solenoid or...

Hey guys, my 95 Explorer XLT is not shifting out of first gear. It is an automatic transmission. This is how it started. I needed a thermostat so i bought one and put it in. While doing it I also cleaned the throttle body and the battery was disconected for a long time (about a whole day). I get...
