If everything else checks out, get a test kit to check for hydrocarbons in the coolant system. Alot of the time when a headgasket is bad it won't always have tell tail signs. You may also smell the exhaust fumes in the coolant, I had this happen on one of my Mustangs before. This is a last...

That's possible I guess. It didn't look like it had been out, but it is hard to tell. I ran an OASIS and it had axles replaced, and alot of other crap under the warranty, but nothing tranny related. I'm going to try, and mess with it tonight. I'd just much rather work on my Mustang.

Which tranny does my '02 Mountaineer V8 have?? Which one does it have, or should I say, SHOULD it have. It obviously doesn't have an S/W so is it an E? N? All I know is I went to change the solenoid pack and it was not the right one. I have one for a S/W trans which is what I thought my...

Ok, that shows the one I bought. But what is my tranny if that one doesn't work? Is it an N?

Ya, it is not showing up as a pdf though...odd. I can't get any definite answer on what is wrong with the tranny. Do these have the adjustable bands or only the older trannies? I have done as much searching and reading as I have time for, I'm just super busy with work and then get home...

The 1st link is where I got that pic above of the 2. I am 99% sure the one I bought in for an S or W, but WTF tranny is in mine if it doesn't fit? I thought the S came in all the V8's? Is my '02 some kind of fluke? I just went and got an OEM new Ford one but I'm it won't work either. ACCCK. This...

Thats why I'm lost!! The one in my Mountaineer is definitely different one bolt hole does not line up. I had took a pic with my cell and now I can't find it!!! @$#%&^#$^. But there are only 2 different ones correct? But why would it NOT be an S/W tranny?

I found this pic.....

OK, I bought this reman solenoid pack and when I went to install, it was not the right one!!:( That was about a month ago or so and I just have not had time to bother with it. I have a 2002 Mountaineer, AWD, 4.6L V8. This "should" be the correct one since I ordered one for a W/S tranny since...

Yea, its "better" but still shifts like crap. I am going to install a new solenoid pack and valve body to see if it helps or not. I'm getting frustrated with it, out of the 20+ vehicles I've ever owned this has given me more issues than any. It has 1/2 the miles my F150 did and 10 times the issues!

I unhooked the battery and at 1st it was REALLY shifting rough but I cleaned the MAF really well and it seems to be way better now. I've had the MAF effect the shift points before in my F150, and it had the simpler 4R70W. I wouldn't have thought the MAF transfer function would get messed...

My vehicle has not been shifting perfect and I installed a FIPK kit (less the plastic tube) last night and now my truck REALLY shifts bad, like bangs into gear and feels like it is slipping??? I'm wondering if the MAF is screwed up? I cleaned it before when I installed a new stock filter but it...

I bought a reman solenoid pack for my Mountaineer and it said for S and W are they the same for sure?

I think I have a bad driver front wheel bearing I can feel it in the steering wheel and it gets louder when I push it hard into a right turn. I've been working on cars for along time but never had an AWD and it makes it alot harder to narrow things down it seems.:( I have some shifting issues...

The thing is it changes when I'm on/off the throttle...or else that would be my 1st guess.

Mine is doing the same thing! I also have a vibration at 60+mph, I'm wondering if it is the front driveshaft? I also have tranny shifts issues, so many issues I don't know where to start honestly.

Anyone?

I am starting to lose my mind with this Mountaineer. I have not solved the tranny shift issues yet and now I have front wheel hop it feels like when accelerating after turning or while turning. Is it something with the AWD or is it a bad CV axle maybe? I don't want to throw parts at it for...

Thats ALOT of $$$ for lines and a cooler!!!???? I think they took advantage of the fact you needed it done fast personally. The lack of care with tossing water in would make me nervous about the rest of the work. What exactly does the bill say?

There is sticker under the hood that says a BG tranny flush was performed at 6x,x.. miles I noticed too. I hate how this tranny has no dipstick! Stupid design if you ask me. I'm lost on how you fill it or check it. I looked at all the pics and can't see how the fluid stays in the tranny by...

Ah, ok. I have a friend that works at a Lincoln/Mercury dealer maybe he can hook me up and do that. Should I try that 1st?

Have the dealer reflash it or a custom tune?

I have just over 82k miles. Tonight when I drove it I noticed a OD shutter it seems like as well. At WOT it goes great or 3/4 but 1/2 or less it is not good. I obviously can't go WOT all the time, haha. Is there a way to check for a bad solenoid pack? Or is it trial and error?

I just got a 2002 Mountaineer and had I known they had so many issues I would have passed on it, but too late now. I have searched alot and still can't figure out what I need to do. It seems to not know what year it wants to be in at LIGHT throttle, feels like it sticks between 2nd 3rd and...

I can't use my Sniper SF on it and thought about getting an Xcal to try and help the crappy shifts out. Is it a huge difference? I HATE the way it shifts, it may also need the solenoid pack but I don't get any flashing OD lights.
