transmission

Hey! I got a V8 explorer recently with a 5R55S. The vehicle has about 100k miles on the dash. What maintenance should be recommended for this? I’m going to do the regular filter and fluid change but what preventative maintenance should I do to this to avoid the transmission blowing? The vehicle...

Hey guys I absolutely love my 96 manual explorer and have done a ton of work to it this year and would love to keep it. Since I bought the truck 6 years ago I've always had a hard time shifting into 1st especially when it's cold or hasn't been driven for a bit. Lately my other gears especially...

So, our XLT started lurching and clunking during downshifting, at less than 9,000 miles. Took it in to the local dealership. They confirmed that it was covered by the piston snap ring TSB. They kept the car for a month (!), which was not awful as we had a rental F150, just got it back the other...

Hi All, I haven't been able to find much information about using an OBDII scanner for a 97-01 ford explorer and whether they read transmission temperatures? Does anyone know if they do and can recommend any sensors? Thanks Chris

Have 2001, 4.0L and working through a transmission leak. Decided to start easy and replace the dipstick o-ring. However, noticed the dipstick tube is actually two pieces. The upper piece is what one would expect, but this fits into a lower tube (about 6-7 inches long) that leads into the...

I have two problems on my 1998 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8, and I don’t know if they’re related in any way. Can anyone help me straighten out what’s going on. First is the shifter that’s at issue. Starting off, the tranny was rebuilt 2 to 3 years ago. Also, I just went into the dash, and replaced the...

11 explorer limited 4WD. Have recently experienced what I think is transmission slippage/shutter at highway speeds when accelerating to pass a vehicle. Description of a hesitation and lunge 3 or 4 times before kicking in to pass, not really a Jenking action. Then last night at a steady 55 mph...

Hello everyone The thing is my 2008 v6 4.0 xlt had clunky shifting, I had to wait before it actually engages to Reverse for 5 seconds. After a while same happened when I put to on Drive. After a while it started to suffer on changing from 1 to 2 to 3 (that was the last number I could reach)...

I see that my 2020 Explorer has a Field Service Action: 20B19, "Transmission Shift Hesitation" Anyone have any insight as to what this is about?

Transmission missing gear 1 and 2

Hey guys, I just got a 2006 4WD V8 Explorer for dirt cheap at an auction and the original transmission is totally shot. I'm thinking to swap in a used one and I'm finding that low mileage 6R80s from 09-10 F-150s are much cheaper and easier to find, plus it'd be a minor upgrade over the stock...

To give you some history. I have an explorer 2001 with 168k miles. I noticed O/D light flashing everytime I drove longer than 10 minutes or so. Then out of nowhere about 4 months after i first noticed the o/d light, I started it up and heard a bunch of noise in the engine so I parked it and...

Hi, this is my first time posting to a car forum, sorry if I sound ignorant about cars or anything. I recently started having issues with my ford explorer, it is a 4.0L V6 4WD 1996 Ford Explorer. It started when I took my car home for the holidays, the transmission was slipping a little bit...

I have a Limited with the 2.3 and notice when using sport mode you can accelerate fine but then while the truck slows down it acts like it is stuck in that gear. Does eventually downshift but hangs on for awhile. Anyone else noticing this?

so i went to pull out of my driver the other morning and as I was pulling out I felt a pop, now the truck acts like its constantly in neutral really need some help seeing how I don't really have any money to put into it right now. its a 99 Explorer 4.0 SOHC with an automatic trans. odometer says...

I just learned something about the hydraulic clutch system on my 96 Sport 5 speed manual and thought I would share it with everyone else. I'm sure there are those of you out there that already know this but if you run into the same situation I did this will help. A little over 3 years ago I...

As I pulled onto a highway about a year ago, I thought the transmission slipped a little so I took it to a Ford dealer. They told me the transmission needed to be replaced. I ignored them and it's been running fine for over a year. Then one day it really did disengage entirely and I thought...

I got my son a really great Explorer for his first car that is in otherwise amazing shape. However, sometimes when I get on the gas a little bit, it "slams" into gear. I thought maybe it was an overdrive problem and started turning that off to see if it made a difference. Still slamming... Not...

Hi I've got a 2006 explorer 4.0l that I cannot figure out what to do next. So it wont shift without giving it gas or waiting like 10 seconds. It has a hard time shifting up, it will just slip and slam into gear. I ran my code scanner on it and got a p0750 and p0760 shift solenoid codes. I went...

Hi I've got a 2006 explorer 4.0l that I cannot figure out what to do next. So the thing started having shifting issue and the engine light came on and the the wrench icon as well. I used my code scanner and its giving me P0750 and P0760 which is shift solenoid A and C. So I went ahead and...

Does the 4WD 5R55E deep pan bolt on to the 2WD 5R55E? I want to add a transmission fluid temperature sensor the next time I change my fluid. Any issues if I switch over to the deeper pan? I know I’ll have to use a longer filter too. I plan to use a pan with a drain bolt like this: Then...

HI everyone! This is on my 99 Limited SOHC 4X4 with (I believe) the 5r55e trans. Last Wednesday went to a neighboring city for a Dr appt (21 miles) Came to a couple of stoplights on the but didn't notice anything being wrong. Got to my last turn and waited for the light to change. When I...

the transmission is failing on my 13 XLT 2.0l ecoboost. The current transmission tag is DE9P-7000-LA. Ford seems to sell the same remanufactured replacement (or at least the same tag number EE9Z -7000-ARM) for many different transmissions, which leads me to wonder if there are other...

Hi guys! First time posting here but I am a long time reader... let me give a little background into my situation. I bought my 2000 Ford Explorer Limited about 5 years ago with 150k. She currently is at 188k. I recently took a road trip about 2 hours out of town. When I got into town, I stopped...
