I've got a 94 Explorer 4x4 with about 312k miles on her that I seem to be having trouble with the transmission. It started acting up a few years back, when you first started driving it it would not want to shift out of 1st or 2nd gear. It would rev up pretty high but you could drop it out of overdrive into 2nd gear and it'd change gears and then you could usually shift back to overdrive. I had to drive it to the beach twice which is a 4 hour trip each way. On the last trip coming back home the transmission started acting up even more. Driving at 70mph normally runs about 2200 to 2500 rpm, it now was running at 3000 and it really didn't like any kind of hill. Driving uphill caused the vehicle to slow and pressing harder on the accelerator would make it drop a gear and rev even higher. Anyone have any thoughts as to what is going on with the transmission? I know someone had made mention that the not wanting to shift was due to the governor I think it was.
