I had a missing/stuttering/misfire problem recently and turned out to be a loose plug wire or maybe water in the boot. I had just replaced the plugs and wires, so never suspected them. Took them off one day to check the wires on the multimeter, everything checked out, but when I put it back...

All the extensions I had, plus a swivel and a wobble...lol I also took the centre console out as the hatch was really handy, particularly getting the new tranny in. Snaking in from underneath with your 4 foot extension, your head where the xfr case used to be, a helper inside can guide the...

Just a follow up, as I found my problem and it was an easy fix. abomb4601 and a couple others called it, was a bad plug connection. I had replaced all the plugs and wires less than a year prior to the issue, so I kind of discounted that, when all signs did indeed point to a bad spark...

I'm having very similar issues. To Date; -Cleaned IAC, replaced IAC( donor part ) - Cleaned MAF, replaced MAF( donor part ) -Cleaned throttle Body -checked all the vacuum lines -sprayed down intake area with starter fluid,looking for idle change -removed coil pack, cleaned, tested...

Hey Buddy, I did a tranny swap a couple months ago, and learned more than a few things along the way. I posted a few things along with some questions that I had answered in another thread, if you want to have a peak; http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=390354 As to...

As to the tranny, it was pulled out of another exploder, I didn't adjust the bands. The guy I bought it from figures it has 80,000 or so kilometres on it.. I was looking at the procedure for adjusting the bands the other day, it doesnt "look" to hard... what do you think? If it was yours, would...

Like a top! As it was explained to me, overfilling it causes the fluid to froth excessively and too many bubbles in it causes a loss of pressure, similar to an air leak in a brake line. Now I've got a pesky squealing from the belt section that is puzzling me. I got a new...

Looks like you were right Green!! A friend talked to a guy who used to work as a service tech at the local ford dealer and he said overfilling was a very common and very problematic issue for this vintage of tranny in particular. I had already resigned myself to pulling the VB and cleaning...

Well, not out of the woods yet. Been driving it around town for a few days, no problems whatsoever. Took it out on the highway last night. Ten minutes or so at highways speeds, everything grand. Turned around to come home and tranny started slipping...badly. Got into town...

Licked! Yeah Baby. Got her all done this past couple days. Learned lots for next time too. Don't need to disconnect the front driveshaft from the T-Case, take her out, shaft and all. Once the cross member is out, she slides right out, still bolted up to the TCase. Bonus is, the six bolts...

Ok, onwards and upwards. Lets see, got the crossmember and rear transmission support piece out, no problems. realized as soon as it was out, that the T Case, along with still-attached front drive shaft, can now be slid right out, easy peezy, japaneesy. Which is a good thing, as the...

Ok, so an update. T Case slid off the shaft and rotated down and out of the way quite nicely. So far so good! Looks like lots of room behind the extension housing to slide the tranny back/down/out when the time comes. We'll see if half-removing the T Case comes back to bite me.... Moving...

Hi Folks - been reading through the forums for the last few weeks, preparing for this job. Boss gave me a 2000 Explorer XLT ( 4x4, V6, 4.0L, SOHC ) that had a a blown reverse band in the tranny. Picked up a donor tranny ( 5R55E ) from a local guy and now putting it in. Just a note, I...
