I have a 1996 ford Explorer Sport. I think there is something wrong with my t-case. The Selections on my dash are 2WD 4X4 High And 4X4 Low. If i have the selector in 2wd and but the vehicle in gear and let it roll in the air (wheels not touching the ground). the front driveshaft spins. same...

It's that time! I have enough concerns about the 4x4 M5R2 that I swapped into my Mounty that it's time to rebuild. I also have a 2wd version that's going into my Sport and it has a sloppy input shaft too so I'll rebuild that as well, though I don't believe the two transmissions have different...

Hello everybody, I recently bought a 94 explorer XLT. The ol' rig only has 94,000 on it. However the transmission had some real strange issues. No matter what position the shifter was in she would only go forward, except for Park. It didn't lurch in park either so I figured leaking valve body or...

I have a 2010 mercury, mountaineer premier edition. My son previously and the timing and chain went out. So basically the engines been sitting around for about past 12 months. So I guess now I realize that I might need to own the cylinders and if I do that what I’ll do I need to replace below...

Looking to see if Anyone knows if there’s an engine that fits the stock tranny on a 2000 Ford explorer XLS. And if not the cheapest website to find a 4.0 v6 DOHC engine refurbished. Worried the cassette’s on my timing chain haven’t been changed since the Vehicle was purchased in 2000.

I recently pulled my 4.0 motor and completely redid all of the chains and guides. I even put in a new water pump and oil pump. Finally got it all together and back in the truck. Everything seems great, except I am now having an oil pressure issue…. Now I understand the gauge is largely...

Ok so I have a 1994 EB and I have fallen in love with this truck but..... The tranny just took a dump on me and I need to figure out what to do next. Can anyone help me! Do I rebuild it? What kit should I buy? Or Mod it and upgrade. I have a bit of money and time considering everything going on...

Hi 96 Expo slept for over 2 years and finally i got around to do something about it. Learning and doing everything from scratch and all by myself. Parts and info in EU are virtualy non existent so i will need a bit of help. Car was introduced to the forum in 2015 when I bought it. It was...

So my 96 5.0 is getting pretty tired and it' time for a rebuild, but since it's my daily driver I am looking to buy another motor to build and swap in to minimize downtime. The question I have is what problems will I run into if I get a later model 5.0 to build? Ideally I'd like to find another...

My 4.0 OHV has a leaking valve cover gasket and while its all torn apart replacing that, is there anything worth replacing while Im at it? Im sitting at 184k miles currently and the only other engine problem possibly is a tick, some times almost slapping sound that comes and goes. Id assume that...

I have a 1998 Explorer 4.0 Eddie Bauer 180k miles and I believe the rear band in my transmission broke this morning, in that everything works except reverse and this is a common thing with 2nd Gens. I've been holding on to this car because I have a 14 yr old son, and my plan was to get a...

I have a 1998 XLT with 208K. Leaking oil from timing chain cover and rear main seal. Has been a great truck for us and still running strong. Since you guys have been great in the past I thought I would try again. I have built many SBC's in the past, but never a SBF. Not afraid of doing it...

To start off thanks to all that reply your the hart of all that keeps sites like this going. 2002 explorer with 5R55W transmission. Started out a bad leak,thought it was a torque converter seal,till I was pulling transmission and saw the overdrive servo cover and snap ring hanging out. Well...

Need some help. I have an 05 Explorer 4x4 (4.0 6 cylinder) with the 5R55S transmission. Backed it out of the driveway and put it in Drive. The car wouldn't, or would barely, move. Thought it was the fluid level. Pulled the center plug and a significant amount of fluid poured out. I'm...

Daughter's 2000 Explorer (125K miles) started having ratcheting sound when decelerating and it was determined that the issue was most likely with the transfer case. Research seemed to point pretty clearly at the same issue that Glacier991 covered in his helpful 2007 diary. Opened it up and the...

Ok so I have a 96 explorer xlt 5.0 awd, it has about 240,000 miles on it. It's not running bad now but with the off-roading and crap I put it through I'm worried it'll go out. Would a new transmission or a rebuild be a good idea? Also which is a better option? Thanks

I have a 98 Explorer XLT 4X2. Engine has a 8th vin number of "P". I'm looking for a rebuild engine and have a few questions. I have done many chevy's in the past, but this is my first ford small block. I saved this truck from my wife's boss and only paid $650.00 for it. Over the past 3...

Okay so I have a Green Limited Edition 1994 Ford Explorer. I am literally the 3rd generation in my family to have owned it. And it's " a bit " out dated. I have lots of plans for this bad boy. Lift kit, rebuilt engine, paint job etc. The only thing I got so far is a sun baked explorer that has...

Before I move on with my build I would like to give the engine and transmission some love. So an engine rebuild with some upgrades is in my future. The transmission is the reason the truck got parked in the first place so I want to get that straigtend out. I have read a lot about diffrent swaps...

Hello all, 1998 XLT 5.0L. 300K miles. Just starting to leak a little xmission fluid, burning about 1 quart of oil every 3-4 weeks. and the coolant is looking a little murky. SO I am thinking its time (or beyond) to rebuild the engine and transmission. So do I just remove and replace...

Hows everyone doing, so as some of you know im doing an auto to manual swap. Originally i was going to do it with the engine in the car as I have replaced trans like that before.however the oil pan gasket is beyond shot and I wanna check the timing chain. So to make things easier I was going to...

I have located a 2005 4L short block, part number 5L2E-6015-B13A. Will it accept 1996 Ford Explorer 4L heads, manifold, flywheel, starter, transmission housing, etc.? I am concerned about bolt patterns and other obstacles. Any assistance is appreciated.

I just recently replaced my 4.6l engine with another about 2 months ago. The problem with the old one is just the Tensioner arms/timing chain which caused a knocking sound. The engine had 123k so i decided to replace with another (new engine has 80k for $800) instead of keep fixing problems as...

I have a 1986 Bronco II with an A4LD Transmission. It has a smooth 1-2 shift and the shift from 2-3 is a very high rpm (4500 roughly). After the 2-3 shift, it will not shift to 4th at all. I did not have my 2-3 shift and then I replaced the shift modulator and got that back. I have two routes I...

well i was just given this 95 explorer and i am going to only use it as an ofroading and fishing/ camping car. The things i know about the car are that it has had 2 owners. The first a young girl in Colorado and my brother. The other thing i know is that it has never been beaten on but never...

hey i recently rebuilt 2 a4ld in two different 94 explorers, and they both work fine but lack reverse... i didnt clean the valve body on either... could that be the problem? Both the trans's were repaired due to burning up clutches because fluid leaked out... what do you guys think? there is...

I just finished rebuilding my 5r55w tranny out of my 2002 explorer. Everything went together so beautifully that i couldnt believe it. After I got everything assembled, I cannot move the manual shift lever into reverse or park. Anyone have any ideas before I tear back into It? Thanks

Hi , I just bought a 2002 Sport Trac I now find I have transmission problems, however I am probably in a worse jam than most of you , my Explorer is in the Philippines so finding a recon or S/H transmission isnt really a feasable option. I either have to fly in a new or recon box from the USA or...

I have a 96 4wd Explorer XLT. I dropped pan to repair P0756 Solenoid error and found pieces of the intermediate band in pan. Ido need to completely rebuild tranny? What transmission model do I have? My local NAPA gave me a list of 4 possibles. I need to know which one to order rebuild kit...

What's up Everybody. I have a 1999 Ford Explorer 4x4. I just rebuild my trans and when I got it back in the gear selector on trans only has 3 clicks when I know there should be 6. why is it doing this?

I installed the TransGo kit, and while I have the valve body out of the x I decided to give it a thorough "rebuild". Except from the parts included in the kit, everything is going back where it belongs. I am finding several of the "plungers" (for lack of the proper term) behind the solenoids to...

Morning folks! Well, after sitting for about 8 months I'm finally getting around to rebuilding the transmission in my '94 XLT now that the weather is finally warmer. I was experiencing the common "no forward drive" situation where the car would only go into reverse. Checking the vacuum modulator...
