- '99 XLT
I have '99 Explorer XLT 4x4 with 124K miles. Just recently, my transmission - 5R55E developed problems shifting from 2nd to 3rd. When is the time to shift to 3rd (at ~2,800 RPM) the rev is going rapidly up an there is no shift to 3rd. I have to lower RPM to about 2000 and at that time transmission shifts. After that transmission has no problems to shift to 4th and 5th. After few red lights and starts and go, the O/D light go on and blinks.
The codes stored I retrived are: P0733,P0734,P0735 (gear 3,4,5 Ratio incorrect). I read a lot about 2-3 gear flare but this is not the case.
I was told by transmission shop that one of the bands is broken and that the transmission must be rebuild. Before I spend $2K (this was thei quote)to rebuild, I would like to hear from The Forum if the diagnostics from the shop are correct and if the band replacement is difficult to perform in my own garrage.
