Hi All:
Just wanted to say THANKS! for the detailed and many tutorials/guides on here! Extremely helpful is an understatement.
Also thought one of you experts might know this symptom/problem right away.
-Pretty much stock 2005 Explorer XLT
-Mileage approx 80k
Just replaced:
-Solenoid Shift pack
-Stock servo Bore replacements with the AJ1 o-ringed ones
-Trans filter and fluid
-Reset all the vehicles PCM and other computers via the positive to disconnected negative battery cable method described on this site.
Current Issue:
From cold or warm start still get occasional shift delays; Engine will rev, but vehicle not move forward. Let off gas or shift back in drive and will engage.
Not all the time, just enough to be a concern. What bugs me the MOST (like all of us, right) is the low, low mileage on the vehicle, vs all these known 'problems'.
Tomorrow:
-Will run my OBD2 scan tool (pretty basic) and see if any codes stored.
-Will tighten bands as per the posts on this forum indicate
For the record:
No OD lights flashing
No trans light or engine light flashing
Shifts through gears A LOT smoother than before, no lurch or clunks!
Slight whine from Tranny area it sounds like. Don't recall hearing that before?
Will try to keep you all posted, maybe this will help someone else someday!
