- explorer sport 92
Time ago I asked here about the top speed of the 1992 explorer sport.
In that topic; flgatorz10 said "...You guys have seemed to have forgotten 5th gear is "overdrive", which was made for fuel economy. in a 5 speed, your top gear speed will be 4th gear, 99% of the time. This doesn't just apply to Explorers"....
Now I ask again (sorry for this)
1) Is that correct ? My top speed wil be in 4º?
My second question is different.
The previos owner of my explorer said to me that he broke two trannys M5R1... ever traveling after hours of high speed in OD (5º).
I broke one M5R1 one time too and in another travel I broke my OD.
His mechanic said him that his tranny was working with out oil (He said IMPOSIBLE)
When I broke my first M5R1 my mechanic said to me the same" your tranny was working with out oil" ... BUT that was impossible. I hav gas station and I do that work. the tranny dad more than 2.5 liters of mercon III Shell tx oil
When my OD (5º) brokes i was driving 3 hours at 85 miles/h (or more?). It happens to me in october 2002
Today nobody can explain to me why my OD brokes
When disarmed the tranny inside we founded 2.5 liters of oil
Can be Oil High Temperture my problem?
Thanks guys... and excuse my bad english
