- 1998 Ford Explorer XLT
Hey guys, first time poster, long time reader here. Ive been stalking this site for years and have found it infinitely helpful! And would like to thank everyone here for all the knowledge that is shared.
Now heres my problem, I drive a 98 Explorer XLT 4.0 v6, 5r55e 4WD.
I have rebuilt the transmission myself a couple of years ago thanks to this forum (yes you guys are awesome!!). In it I put Super duty friction disks and a whole replacement upgraded valve body (shift kitted etc.).
Recently, while driving down the road, while the transmission was changing from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd didnt engage, and the engine free rev'd, as if in neutral! I got of the the gas and slapped it manually into second, which changed it down, then put it back in drive, and it went in fine. However this happened a couple more times over the following days, so I decided to do a filter and fluid change. There wasnt any metal in the bottom of the pan, just the friction disk dust on the magnet. I also had flushed the lines and coolers.
After this, it decided that going into 1st or 2nd while in drive was just too difficult! It would only start in 3rd gear, while the trans was in drive. I could manually put it into 2nd gear, and start from there, however 1st gear wont work at all! Also Ive lost 5th gear! Now Ive lost 2nd gear as well, it cannot even be put in manually.
Ive retorqued the O/D bands correctly (thank you guys again). They torqued up fine so have to assume nothing is broken. But nothing changed. Well except briefly as I pulled out of the driveway, something clunked, and It dropped into first! But that was the only time.
I have a spanner (wrench) light on the dash which flashes, and the engine light is on. Ive unbolted the battery, and reconnected it, but nothing changed.
My overdrive light has been flashing for some time, and Ive had the codes read, (wait for this)
P1804-Transmission 4-Wheel Drive High Indicator Circuit Failure
B1318-Battery Voltage Low
B1352-Ignition Key-In Circuit Failure
B1833-Door Unlock Disarm Switch Circuit Short To Ground
B1834-Door Unlock Disarm Output Circuit Failure
P0731-First gear incorrect ratio
P0733-Third gear incorrect ratio
P0735-Fifth gear incorrect ratio
P0741-Torque converter too much slip/Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off
P1260-Theft detected/- Engine Disabled
P1762-O/D Band failure/ off-Transmission system problems- O/D light flashing
B1522-Hood Switch Circuit Short To Ground
B1562-Door Lock Cylinder Circuit Short To Ground
Yep I nearly shat myself!
Now I havent had overdrive since the trans rebuild, but i didnt care. None of the gears are slipping at all, and until these issues showed up, it had been shifting nice and firmly (not hard) and engine breaking was great.
The other day I replaced the fuel pump. And Ive replaced the transfer case, as it got stuck in 4 high.
Ive checked the fuses which are fine.
Sorry about making this a small novel.
Any help with which direction to go in with this would seriously be great!
