- 2002 Explorer XLT 4.6
Hello everybody. I'm new to Explorerforum, but I'd like to make a post about my 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6. I love this car, but recently I've run into transmission issues that make the car un-drivable. I just recently hit 240,000 miles and I've been waiting for a problem like this to happen. My explorer drives perfectly fine, every single gear works, until it is warmed up. Also, it makes a whine (coming from transmission), almost like the sound your car makes when you don't have enough power steering fluid. I've thinking about doing a full rebuild on it, but I'd just like to know what, specifically, went bad in the trans.
