I'm comfortable working with trannies and valve bodies, lots of 4R70W experience with tbirds and mustangs.
I've seen all the common high mileage problems mentioned on this site for the tranny in our explorers, valve body gasket failures, servo bore wear, solenoid module gasket failing/blowing out.
I've got 168K and am just now starting to experience things like harsh shift into reverse and etc. (It's not u joints or anything, checked.)
Would it be worth me installing a shift kit, replacing the bonded valved body gaskets, and doing the servo o-ring kit to prevent problems/burnt bands, or do you think it's too late/waste of parts?
