From what I have read, the original ones have three welds that basically are where the cracks begin. There is a revised design available from ford without the welds for like $125-150 and a revised spacer which are supposed to be much stronger.

I know this isn't a V8, but this is the cracked flexplate in my 95 4.0 Sport: You can see where it is cracked clean around the center piece. The starter would not start the vehicle, just whirrr because it uses the teeth on the flexplate to turn the motor over. Since the outside of the plate...

I was able to get the trans lines off without too much issue through the top after changing my angle of approach. If I could find my box wrenches, it may have been easier. That being said, i got it out without removing the Y pipe, due to some seriously rusted bolts on the manifolds. It...

Yeah, i figured that cutting them would be an option, but would like to try and get them out whole first. No one knows the size of the nut on them?

Help with trans removal ?*Got It Out* How do I remove the transmission Cooling lines if I can't remove the exhaust (can't get the y pipe removed due to bolts in the manifolds.) I have the access panel out from up top, but am unsure what size the fittings are. I have heard a flare wrench is...

Thanks. i will be getting some pictures when the weather is better. Hoping to tackle it this weekend if I get some nice days.

Well, I thought I have moved on from explorers when I sold my 95 Sport about a month ago. it had a bad flexplate keeping it from starting, but was otherwise sound. Sold it to a guy I know for his father-in-law, cause he needed a vehicle. I let them take it before getting paid... and you can...

That should help. It looks like the Flywheel to Torque Converter are one time use, so I guess I will need a couple of those?

did your truck have keyless and you just don't have the keyfob? I might have one here extra. I programed 2 of them to my 95 Sport and they were easy to do. I believe they were the same up to a point. Also, do you have the keypad on the side? If you do, and don't know the code, you can do a...

Just wondering if there was a Step by Step how to for removing the transmission and Transfer Case? I need to replace the flexplate in my 95 Sport, and I have never dropped a transmission before. I will most likely be doing it in my driveway and not on a lift, so that will factor in, and I would...

Bravadas are AWD, whereas the blazers and jimmy's are selectable. It may be the computer that controls the awd in it. Does it throw any codes?

wow. that was a sharp looking sport. And I really like your red one a lot. If 2wd was practical here, i would probably be finding out what you did to your once I found one.

Wow. Glad you are ok. That sure looks like it was a hell of a ride.

The fuel pump actually isn't that bad of a job if the truck isn't too rusty. I did one on my 95 Sport. Took me about 2-4 hours roughly (not quite sure since I did it over two days, on the ground in the pouring rain at a friends house since he owned it at the time) Hardest part was getting the...

well, just to update this again. I found my answer. Aparently it was both, and after replacing the starter and getting it running, it broke the flywheel. So now I have a broken flywheel to replace. How hard is this and where should I get one from? Also, didn't use the new starter, so I can...

I had this starter tested, and tested it myself before putting it in and it did go out, but that's not to say that it somehow stopped after I got it started (only started once after testing, but did sit for 1-3 weeks between.) I did buy a new starter to have on hand, and to swap in. I am going...

ok. 95 Explorer sport. 4.0L OHV. Automatic. My starter is currently just spinning and not engaging. Background: I've been trying to get this truck up and running for a while. Been working on several vehicles and the house, so I don't get to it all that often. Had a starter issue when I...

it's a pain in the arse. Some people use swivel sockets and long extensions from the top. I was able to get at it through the wheel well using a cobbled up wrench grouping. That was the easiest way. Took me 3 weeks to figure it out, and 45 minutes to get the bolt off cause I could only move the...

I actually bought one of those the last time I was there. I have not used it yet though. The wire that was bad has since been replaced. As for the codes, being a 95 it is OBD1, and autozone cannot read the codes on OBD1 vehicles.

I will check the DTC codes once I figure out how to do it. When it was running, I don't remember an engine light. In looking up what running a cylinder down would be like, it seems plausible that that might be the issue, expecially with the plug wire I removed that was green on one side. Will...

Alright. I'll pull the plugs and see what they look like when the weather is more favorable. We are down past the teens now with horrible wind, so it's a pain. Will also do a compression check. Also, need to figure out why the starter is just spinning now. Could the noise I heard have been the...

The truck had not been sitting too long. Maybe 2 weeks before I got it. I replaced the fuel pump and checked the tank while in there and everything was good about a month before I got it. The truck has sat here for about a month and a half since getting it.

Bump. Anyone got any ideas?

Ok, so I have been having some issues with the 95 explorer sport that i recently bought. First I bought it being told it needed a starter and a flexplate. Bought both used, had the starter tested so I knew it was good before putting it in. Finally got the old one removed and it was siezed...
