Hello
I have 2003 Explorer with the P0775 code. Only has 68,000 miles. Has a shift flare from 1st to 2nd gear only. OD Off light flashing and CEL illuminated.

Vehicle sits a lot....thus the low mileage. Thinking my issue is solenoid pack, possibly solenoid B sticking? I cannot find instructions on how to test the solenoid pack. Can you help?

Thank you in advance!!

I just replaced my trans VB and fixed my 2-3 flare but have now noticed a 1-2 jerk. I plan on adjusting my intermediate band. Im confused about people adjusting bands to fix 2-3 flare. Maybe in 5R but not 4R. Read following pdf and lmk what you think. http://atraonline.com/gears/2003/2003-05/2003_5_50.pdf

Hi Brooklyn. New here and it seems like you are the man that knows all the stuff. I want to know stuff too but every link I click on is broken.

I noticed all your links use "showpost" and some kind of post ID number, where all the links that work are using "thread" and title. Anyway to fix all that?

Hello could I get a quick guide on adding a profile pic please?

Hey so I was reading into some of your older forum posts about solenoid failure due to led lights and what not. I'm having some issues maybe you can help. Just got a 91 explorer shifts fine through 1-3rd no 4th or OD. This car came with a trailer light system installed which I ripped out although the problem existed before. Any help would be awesome thanks.

Yeay BrooklynBay!
You were absolutely correct, although at the time your suggestion to check my tires to see if they were the cause for the whinning and thumping in my 05 ford explorer with the 4.6 V8 4x4 advance trac. Which prevented it from driving over 20 mph.
One of my tires was a different size, and since the advance trac is all wheels all the time, there was a fight between them going on

Some help..Please. I can't seem to find your information (or any corroborating) about the easiest way to change spark plugs in 3.0 Aerostars. I have a '91 extended, and 2 '97's (1 extended XL and 1 shorty cargo). Not sure if the '91 is procedure is any different from the '97's. Your help would be appreciated, and save me a lot of searching. Have sort of followed over a few years, and respect your replies.

2000 Mazda B3000 Truck....No Crank...have power until trying to start then everything dead....wait 10-15 minutes now there is power....turn key to start and everything dead ???? Any help ! BILLY7 at 520-335-5740. Is this a ford pats symptom ?

I have 5r55e that lost all gears forward and reverse sat overnight went into limp mode pulled pan no bunt smell some fine metallic dust on the magnet no other debris changed solenoids, filter and fluid. Now it's got 1st-2nd slip or flare then it'll go in 3rd but itermedite or o/d won't even try. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need some advice. I just finished with my sport transformation. I took a 2000 Mountaineer 5.0 AWD running gear and wiring and put in my 99 sport. The donor engine ran like a sewing machine before the swap. Now it won’t hardly idle and I’m stumped. Everything went smooth and the upper intake was as far as I went into engine. I put new plugs wires at .054 and I’m scratching my head. Any advice?

Help! I found a thread the other day that had all kinds of information on the OHV motor from 90 2000 in the differences of each one in what heads will work with what motor in the compression ratios and now I can't find it do you know what you thread I'm talking about by chance

Betcha thought I forgot about you, huh? How ya doing? (And yes, I still have my Aerostar, it still drives, and everything works!)

Do you still have the hollander interchangeable parts PDF? The megaupload link died and it would be really useful to have.

Check the cooling system with a pressure tester to see if it's leaking from a hose or the thermostat housing.

Need some help. I think that the thermostat housing unit on my 04 explorer is leaking. Have fluid on top of the engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think the problem with the shift solenoids: because, due to his own stupidity, did not mark them before removing. The solenoids all different and have (at the coil and the nozzle) there are rooms: 3.1/1.1; 1.3/1.2; 2.7/1.2; 3.4/1.4 respectively. Please help me how to install them correctly. Thank you in advance!

Good day! I apologize for the inconvenience, but asking for your help: after installation on an automatic transmission 5R55Е new clutch, steel wheels, seals, gaskets, servopistons, brake bands, and install in a valve body Superior Shift Kit with new gaskets, lost all gears, no drive, reverse, 1 and 2.

BrooklynBay: Any thoughts on my transmission issue posted yesterday in the trasnmission forum? Thanks, Drew.
