That part, https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/data/attachments/415/415637-ba066bc2ee48149780172507122c79a7.jpg is the Over Drive from what 'dude down the way' said when taking a look under there w me the other day. My current problem is for sure. Opening up either one night this week or this...

Status update. New filter and fluid installed. Someone came over and stole one of my bolts for the trans pan out of the mag bolt holder thing, strangest thing for someone to break in and steal but there is absolutely no other explanation possible so oh well, 'they' got me for 27 cents and i had...

Im went against mama's advice and was a dumbass instead of a smartass with the post title. Its a 1995 2wd XLT. The info on the side bar is right but the big bold text at the top of the post was my dumbass mistake. Buttoning up now before dinner hopefully.

Lol if it works it aint stupid right?!? No glitter or metal on the magnet. Fluid i have still but didnt take a pic of. Took a vid of it pouring out of the pan in like 10 diff little streams as i found it pretty lol. Fluid was red coming out of the pan in the streams and dark in the catch pan i...

Pulled the pan of the tran, removed filter. Drained fluid obv, took pics of condition of trans w/o the filter on it. Still need to remove the old goop from the rim of the pan, and stopping to get new filter tomorrow and gasket. Double checked and have the 2WD filter and proper gasket in cart at...

Last time i was in the dentist chair a few weeks ago the tech said this may hurt a little, replied, anything worth anything hurts a bit. Think there is a bit of truth in both outlooks pertaining to moderation and overdoing things. Just depends what activity those ideas are being applied to...

Hear Hear! Seems too many ppl these days forget moderation is critical in relation to consuming or doing almost anything. Nice to find an online forum where these ideas are prevalent opposed to the opposite. Looks like low 70's and no rain when i am getting home today. Looks like we will get to...

Got the truck up on stands. Just splitting time between getting my old daily back running properly without overheating, 04 GTi 1.8T manual ofc that i just got running and driving a couple months ago, and the exploder generally means i work more on the GTi since its so damn close to being back in...

I'll do the trans pan and axle service and get pics of that and post em. More than likely do that this weekend. I can at least get them both opened for pics and drained then buttoned back up partially while i gather the rest of the supplies tmrw or Saturday. Thanks as always for the help and...

I should have the tools needed. Still think tcase is the main issue, but the pics above show a leak that needs to be dealt with at least on the axle. For that, i would assume a seal on that and flush fluids on the plate in the middle of the axle. (i will look up the process in the book, not...

Sorry, that pic is from before i replaced the yoke and u joint (that is a T) or i may be calling that the wrong name, added fluid to tcase. Replaced that as it broke on me within 30 miles. After replaced, drove fine for 300 miles then seized up going up my steep driveway while in Drive. Put in...

I jacked up the back end and put stands on it. Put in in N and was able to roll the back tires just fine. Put it in R when rolling wheels clockwise, the driveshaft turned. When rolling them the opposite way, drive shaft stayed still. So i would say it is the t case that needs to be looked at or...

I had been trying to get the cooling issue on my 04 GTi fixed so i could start to daily that and have put the exploder on the back burner. I had yet to try to move the ford with the drive shaft disconnected just yet but will def do that as that should confirm if the rear axle is the issue...

I will test that out this weekend and let you know. Trying to finish my mk4 GTi and that will be done tonight.

That is what i had already taken. I will get some better pics either in a min or tomorrow. Pretty sure i do. That is what the slip yoke goes into i would assume. Might be called something other than a Transfer Case but think thats what it is and what the haynes calls it.

4r55e wont move Looks like transfer case may be the issue from what i read in this thread. So, that really is cheaper and easier to grab off a junkyard ride, so unless anyone has any other suggestions, i would assume starting with the transfer case would be the better route to go. A used...

Gonna lay it all out there in hopes someone could point me to what i should check to make sure the 4R55E is the problem child or if another part of the drive train could be causing this issue. Bought from a fam member and within the first 40 miles, the slip yoke snapped the U joint. No big deal...
