my 1994 ford explorer transmission is slipping??

[Gavin Kamp]

My 1994 ford explorer is slipping. When I start it I put it in reverse (because thats how I leave) and I have to give it more gas and then it catches and jerks and then on the road and then slips again and again and then it'll stop after awhile.

Please help!

Have you checked the fluid level?

 

[Gavin Kamp]

yea the fluid is fine. not sure what it could be. (RangerX)

Add some more fluid, no more than 1/2 quart. If that doesn't fix it, it's probably time for a rebuild. The clutches are probably gone for reverse.

Check the bands..may just need to be tightened..you did check fluid while running and after shifting through all the gears??
