    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    You are saying that your shifting problems went away once you put transmission fluid in the SUV when it was in idle? I have never heard that, why would that make it work? So odd, but at least you have yours working. My 4x4 drive is not working, so I need to see if I need to rebuild my transfer...

    Question about Transfer Case and motor

    Anyone out there able to assist? Also, I have have tested my 4x4 drive and it doesn't work, the light comes on, but no shifting and it doesn't work at all, only 2WD works. So not sure if this, and the transfer motor have anything to do with 2WDnot shifting when it gets to 50-60 mph, but would...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Update: It does not seem to be an electrical issue at all. Everything has been tested by me and electricians and they found no issues (well, I have some wire issues with my windshield fluid and wipers, but that is a separate thing.) in regards to the tranny. I was told that the Transfer Case...

    Question about Transfer Case and motor

    Anyone have any answers for my question about the transfer case motor? Has someone dealt with this before or knows if the transfer case motor is linked to 2wd not shifting after 50-60mph?

    Question about Transfer Case and motor

    I have been working on my 96 Explorer 4x4 for over a year now trying to get the damn thing run and shift properly. I have had tranny rebuilt...twice...and have had wire harness replaced twice....solenoids B and C replaced FIVE times! All electrical issues seem OK....and a transmission guy said...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Nothing yet. I had to work on another car, taking the trans axle off and replacing a few things so that consumed my time. I did get help from another use on how to take the cover off of the OD servo, but he just said use needle nose pliers. That didn't help much. I kind of need a visual on how...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Thanks Imp, no worries, you have been a tremendous help and it is appreciated. Ok, this is all interesting and a lot to take in LOL. First, I bought a new Solenoid C and installed, I did an amp test and it is 2.6, the old one was 2.7 I believe, within specs. Regarding your other testing, am...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    No worries on the delay, we are all busy. I just appreciate the help. I do not have the 5R55E tranny, I have the 4R55E tranny. I will double check what tranny I have for sure, to make sure it is not the 4R44E, because it might be that and will post in the morning. Ahhh, I have mistaken the TCC...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    For p0761 it says a gear problem? Not a Solenoid problem? In the code database, it says solenoid C(3) issue. it goes into 4th gear, but it does not go into overdrive after that. Should I take it back to the transmission person and tell them? Because this is the same issue I had before and after...

    4R55E Rebuilt transmission: Shift solenoid C

    LOL, I do as well. Does anyone else have a view on this? Is the right course of action? From what I have read it is. Would love more input. I was going to work on the servos, but this might be another route to go in.

    4R55E Rebuilt transmission: Shift solenoid C

    The tranny has been rebuilt, but it still drives the same way as it did before, and was told it was electrical. Then did a ton of electrical testing and harness testing and solenoid testing and found nothing. I do not think they even thought about do the OD adjustment when they rebuilt it or...

    4R55E Rebuilt transmission: Shift solenoid C

    Wow, excellent, I will try that. Mucho thanks! Hopefully I can torque it right, I need 1/4" drive In/Lb torque wrench, I hope Autozone has it or I will order from rockauto. Have you ever done this? Fairly cut and dry?

    4R55E Rebuilt transmission: Shift solenoid C

    No problem, hope it helps. 3k is still high still for 80mph. mine is between 3-3.5k, which is bad and eating gas like nothing, and needless to say, awful for the transmssion. I wish it were lower than 3k. At least your OD is working properly. I have never done much with the tranny other...

    4R55E Rebuilt transmission: Shift solenoid C

    I have this same problem for solenoid C. Tranny rebuilt, issues still, and I replaced solenoid C and still have the same issue. Does you car shift into overdrive? Mine does not at 55, and the code I get is for solenoid C. I cannot even turn my OD off. When you drive, are your RPM's in the 3k...

    HELP PLEASE 1996 Ford Explorer overdrive problems

    Hey Imp, thanks for the response. I have already checked all the wiring previously, did a test through the PCM, and no issues from that. I have two PCM's, both tested and functional. I appreciate the link, but when I open it, it is in russian, and there is no diagram. I tried translating it, but...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Thanks for the link, but I have seen that thread. It has great pics, but it doesn't explain how to take off the Overdrive Servo, I know he says he oils it until he gets it out, but that doesn't help me as I do not know what to oil and do. I just need the procedure on how to take that out.

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Can anyone help me with the Overdrive Servo and how to take it out and such? I cannot find out how to take this out, not in the Ford manuals or online. Just need a great informative instruction manuals or steps to follow. I appreciate all who have helped thus far, definitely useful for me.

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Up front, I have not had occasion to open up any of the servos in these new transmissions. I got all "learning" on Borg-Warner transmissions designed and used many years ago. BUT, if what you're facing is similar to those oldies, you will find a stamped metal cover having a slot halfway across...

    Guy, I'm having some kind of problem with the forum. I got your first message, now can't go back to look at it, or others. No option that I can find, control panel, nothing, will do it. Maybe use PMs instead. Now, having found this post, which is what I saw in the notifications, now gone...

    1996 Ford Explorer Transmission Shift Solenoid Issues

    Of course, since I have not worked on that part of a transmission before. This is why I am asking these questions to make sure I proceed with utmost care and caution. Perhaps you could answer some of the questions I posted, that would help with the care and caution part.
