    Changing from 5 spd manual to automatic transmission?

    I am interested in installing an automatic transmission in my 92 Explorer Sport. My daughter will get her license this summer and I would feel more comfortable with her driving an automatic. Can anyone give me any advice?

    Changing Transmissions?

    I am interested in changing out my manual 5 speed for an automatic. I am planning on giving this truck to my daughter who get her license in July. And I would feel better if she was driving an automatic. Does anyone have any advice, recommendations or has anyone done this before?

    Transfer Case Motor Fix!

    I believe that I also read something about not cutting the brown wire. I think it was on the Dr. Bob web site. Look through the older threads and find the hot link to the Dr. Bob site it is in the Transfer Case section.

    Transfer Case Motor Fix!

    Triton46-- I did the test on the module and it also indicated that the motor was the problem. Try getting the motor to operate when it is not attached to the Transfer case. Or just loosen the three mounting bolt surrounding the limit switch housing and try the motor. If it indexes you have...

    Transfer Case Motor Fix!

    I finally got the thing fixed! I was having the standard "push the 4x4 button, get the clicks and nothing else". I followed the advice from Dr. Bob...removing the transfer case motor, cleaning up the limit switch contacts and the armature, replacing the rubber around the limit switch...

    Auto 4x4 will not engage

    mrsteve.. I would not think so...but I do not have a electrical schematic of the 4WD system, so I can not be sure. If you ever run across such a schematic let me know where you got it.

    Auto 4x4 will not engage

    Steve-- I did the same test but the light flashed. So I started on the positioning motor... I have no suggestions at this point for your situation.

    Bad Gas Mileage Solutions

    MAF it is in the air intake next to your air filter. Very easy to check and clean. You will need some security torx head to get it off...about $15 to$20 for a set. FPR - cost $75 I changed mine in about 1 1/2 hours and it solved my problem. I had been getting a chekc engine light for...

    Auto 4x4 will not engage

    Longs...I have had the sensor apart already, I just didn't know it. I had to replace the plastic that was on the stop because it was about to break off. I used a piece of rubber hose. I did not scribe the sensor when I took it apart but I was able to get it back to its original position...

    Auto 4x4 will not engage

    Positioning Sensor?? What does the positioning sensor do? Where is it? Does it sense the actual position within the transfer case or the position of the motor? With the motor lying on the ground and electrically connected, the motor indexed and the lights on the dash indicated that the motor...

    Auto 4x4 will not engage

    Still not fixed... I looked at the Dr BOB page and I tried the standard fix...I pulled the transfer motor, cleaned the armature, cleaned the limit switches. Nothing. I remove the motor once again and tested the motor when it was not mounted on the transfer case. The motor indexes with no...

    Chugging at idle...

    I was having similar symptoms with my 92 Sport. I changed the O2 sensor, plugs and wires, fuel filter with no luck. The problem was the fuel pressure regulator. The diaghram ruptured causing fuel to enter the vacuum system. Fuel was fouling the plugs and giving an sluggish, chugging symptom...

    92 multiple intermittent hesitations/stumbles while accelerating

    I changed the fuel filter and plugs about 3 months ago and I replaced the air filter two weeks ago. More information...the hesitation is not present until about 10 minutes of driving. Additionally, after cold starts the engine usually dies once.

    92 multiple intermittent hesitations/stumbles while accelerating

    I am experiencing numerous hesitations or stumbles during acceleration. There is no noise or noticable RPM change assoicated with the hesitations/stumbles. Anyone have any ideas?
