gear

Hello Everyone, I have what I hope is an easy question. I replaced the light on my gear shift (in floor) indicator. The light is now green, but I don't have the orange indicator we see when we are in D, R, P, etc. I have been looking online for that one part, but all I find are the replacements...

Mid-job on my rear axle shaft replacement on my 91X and the spider gears fell out. I was using my impact to try to pull the new wheel studs through the newly installed axle and it looks like the S-spring shifted a bit and the spider gears slipped out. I have the spacers and know which one was on...

In the last 2 weeks my explorer won't start unless my shifter is pushed harder in park. At first I barely had to push up on shifter but now it will barely start unless I push really hard up on it. It's always had play in it, but it does seem like it has more now. Thanks for any help!! I'm afraid...

I have the 2008 Eddie Bauer with V8 4wd with just over 200k on it. I have a noise and vibration that gets worse the faster you go. I've had a mechanic look at it at least 3 times for it and has not found any wheel bearing bad, but this time he mentioned the front diff pinion bearing race might...

Does anyone know if there is a way to view the current gear while in automatic mode on a 2013 Sport? I want to be able to know what gear I'm in at a glance. Also, I'd like to be able to log certain parameters including the gear so that I can look back over the data and see gear, RPM, shift...

Having a new issue with my Explorer now.. just got done pretty much doing a mass replacement of 90% of the suspension, getting tires, and an alignment. I guess by coincidence now that all that works been done now the drive train decides it's going to take a dump.. I notice this mostly at low...

So this has been a problem that's been going on for about a week now, had it to a shop to get the transmission fluid and filter changed, which definitely improved shifting, but did not resolve these clunks. This is on an automatic 2003 explorer xlt with the 5 speed. Here's what's happening...

My girlfriends 1994 ford explorer (130k miles) is having a problem that will not allow her car to pass a smog test. When she is driving around 35+ mphs , the car has trouble getting into(I think 3Rd gear). It will stay at 35mph and the RPM needle will almost get to the red before it jerks into...

Hello everyone, It's been a couple months since I've been on the forum, but my 2001 Sport finally decided not to start today, and I want to go through it's past misbehavior to try and solve my problem, and help others who may have the same problem. To start off, it's a clean Georgia 2001...

Had some issues with my rig. Pulled the transfer case and found this along with some other issues. First question: Is this still a viable gear? Second question: Where do I get a new Hi Low collar, or range shifter gear? Last question: Where do I purchase the Omega Shift Fork? Thank You.

I'd consider myself a novice tow guy. I have a deep V boat I tow with both my 11 Explorer and 06 Escape without a problem. My wife and I now have a 18 foot hybrid travel trailer. It's dry weight is just short of 4000lbs and we've weighed it at 4200 when loaded with our gear. My question...

Using that popular guide on this website I have tried a few times to conquer the task of changing the bushings in my motor gear for my '92 Explorer Sport. I am mechanically inclined (not that this is a tough job or anything..) so the task as a whole should be a piece of cake... However, I...

Hello everyone, I recently rebuilt the transmission on my 165k 2002 Ford Explorer, saving around $2000. I have taken videos on the entire process, and I have all the information needed. I will be updating this post as I edit the videos and upload them. I don't know how many people are...

Hello all. My 94 Ford Explorer began to get stuck in first gear. When leaving a stop light, the transmission didn't slip but the RPMs continued to climb without switching gear. I figured out that if I wait until the RPMs get around 2000, I can quickly release the gas and slowly repress the gas...

Last Friday on the way home from work I noticed my shift lever was extremely hard to use but I didn't have any issues other than that. Yesterday I go to leave for work and now it wont start. I knew it wasn't a battery issue but I left in my wifes car as I suspected the shift lever to be the...

I have a 2000 explorer xlt 4x4 Of course it has a blinking o/d light and am afraid to travel very far. It also has a loose shifter (on the column) that comes out of gear when stopped or going slow or on an incline. Is there an easy fix for this.

Hey everyone, I had a problem today when I was driving to work. As always I started the truck and let it warm up until the rpms settled. I hit the road and noticed my tranny wouldn't shift into 4th gear, I was doing 2500 rpm at 40 mph. I noticed a slight delay from 4th to 5th a few months ago...

I have a 1992 explorer. When I put it into drive or reverse, it stalls on me. It only does this when I first put into drive or reverse, just after I start it. Engine idles ok and will not stall if I give a little gas as I shift. Also if I shift it into neutral then into drive or reverse, it...

So, I was wondering how streetable a 91 X would be if it was geared with 4:88s. Spool in the front, locker in the rear. Full width axle from a 79 bronco, hp 44 in front. I know its more off road set up, but wanting to street it too. (I'm thinking about buying this X fyi) Thanks for any help.

I had to replace my rear wiper motor again and this time, I went with a new Motorcraft that I actually got a good deal on online. After installing the new one, I decided to take apart the old one as there was no core charge. This was a new Dorman motor which worked for about a year. That was...

Hi, We've got an Aerostar 93 XLT with an explorer 93 V6 4.0 engine build in. The gearbox-stuff is an A4LD with an E-4WD. The car drives backwards without a problem, but when we go forwards, it drives for maybe 10-15 metres and than stops. If we wait about 20 seconds and then drive forwards...
