shift

I have a 97' Explorer XLT Control Trac 4WD 4.0 v6 M5R1 5 speed tranny.... I think..... Here's the number on the trans: F57A-FA I've mentioned the hard shifting issue in at least one of my other threads.... Thought I'd open another thread to focus on just this issue! The issue being that it's...

The bracket that holds the shift cable to the trans rusted and broke in half. I checked Rock Auto, ebay and amazon, and local parts places,also Ford, no part available. It mounts to the left side of the trans with 2 bolts, clamps onto the shift cable, controls the length of adjustment to the...

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...

Hi I've got a 2006 explorer 4.0l that I cannot figure out what to do next. So it wont shift without giving it gas or waiting like 10 seconds. It has a hard time shifting up, it will just slip and slam into gear. I ran my code scanner on it and got a p0750 and p0760 shift solenoid codes. I went...

Hi I've got a 2006 explorer 4.0l that I cannot figure out what to do next. So the thing started having shifting issue and the engine light came on and the the wrench icon as well. I used my code scanner and its giving me P0750 and P0760 which is shift solenoid A and C. So I went ahead and...

I have to start by saying I have read many of your transmission posts in the past and they have been very helpful with a third gear issue I had about a half year ago. I adjusted the band and solved that problem. I also must tell you that you are all much more adventurous about working on...

I just bought a 1999 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD 4.0 SOHC in mint condition with only 118,000 miles and meticulously cared for. The only things I've done to it was aftermarket exhaust and synthetic oil. I had to replace the anti-sway arm bushings as well. The only problem I am having is with the shift...

Hi all, I just purchased an a 91 explorer. unfortunately it will not shift into its either 4th or OD gear. Yes, there are other threads on this just saying to replace solenoid but I believe this explorer is stuck in 4x4. Does anyone know if being in 4 wheel limits the transmission to 1-3...

Hey guys, first post here, my girlfriend has a 98 4.0l explorer and its not a bad truck but the trans does have some issues. I noticed while driving it it did seem to skip, or slip a little usually while driving up a hill but sometimes youd feel in on flatland. It almost felt like an engine miss...

I am striking out finding TSB 92-24B-52, which documents revised wiring for the starter/backup circuit. My truck starts correctly in park/neutral as it should. The problem is that 4-Lo does not work (4-Hi does work). The R/W wire which is the park/neutral input to the Shift Control Module is...

Hello to everyone! I've been lurking for a while but this has me baffled as for what to do next. I have a 1995 Eddie Bauer with what I assume is the original 4R55E transmission and 164K miles. When I put it in Drive or Reverse there is a moment of hesitation before engagement that doesn't...

Just got my first Explorer. It's got a lot of miles, but the body and interior is in great shape and it drives good. It's of course got a manifold leak which I've been reading about. My question is, can I get a programmer or chip to reprogram how it shifts and kicks down? I know it's typical...

So I'm really ignorant when it comes to vehicles, truly. So please understand that before I ask stupid questions! I can do the basics like change my oil etc but am lost when it comes to anything advanced. So basically my reverse went out about a month ago. I've got about 150k miles on it, and...

This image is just like the broken column shift on my daughter's 2005 Explorer. I know I can get the alloy part that links to the shift lever aftermarket, but the brass piece on the back side with the hard plastic ball is also damaged. Ford doesn't even seem to have a name for this part. My...

I was having problems with the shifting in the 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. It was revving up and not shifting and then I would have to lower the RPMs to 1500 RPMs and it would shift. Dropped the transmission pan and the filter, dropped the valve body and found I had a blown gasket. Replaced...

My wife has a 2015 EX and for about 10 months we have noticed a pronounced shift (bump/harsh shift) in the transmission. It seems to happen most between 30-40 mph on acceleration from a yield/stop sign or even red lights that turn green. A few times there has been a bump/harsh shift when braking...

I recently pulled my motor to replace timing components, and inadvertently caught the eyelet on the end of the shift cable as the motor and trans were on their way out. The eyelet is on the end of a small metal shaft that rides in a plastic sleeve(presumably to keep the shaft straight as you...

I own a 1998 Explorer Sport, and Im getting a leak from the rubber gasket looking thing where the transmission meets the driveshaft. Its coming from what i think is called the weep hole? Im hoping for a solution so i can quit buying transmission fluid I realized i posted this in the wrong...

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...

so my 1992 Explorer XLT wont shift into 4x4. ill push the 4hi button on the dash and nothing will happen, the light wont even come on. i was thinking it could be the shift motor but i'm wondering if you guys think it could be a more serious electrical issue.

97 4wd explorer 4.0 sohc v6 after digging around with the search shovel, I couldn't quite find exactly what I need to know. the main thing is I don't have and codes for the issue. so here's the poop: Flashing Od light halfway from Orlando to Daytona (doing bout 60-80 mph for about 25-30...

I have a 2003 Sportrac 4X4 with the 5r55E. It engages into reverse fine and once it engages in drive it shifts flawlessly. It will shift all day with no problems but it is very slow to engage into drive. It can take up to 20-30 secs when cold. But once it engages it has no problems. What can I do?

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...

Okay, so I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xls 4wd; it has the 5R55W automatic transmission in it. Like many of you, my O/D light started flashing, and I was getting a hard shift from 2-3. After some research , including from this site, I learned that the problem is NOT solved by replacing the...

Shift to Park Warning keeps coming on Out of about 12 trips daily in my 2011 Explorer Limited 19K, at least 3 or 4 times each day I started getting the message "Shift to Park" along with a warning chime after pushing the lever to the park position and turning off the key. I have to move the...

Hi everyone, There have been hundreds, if not thousands of posts similar to my issues. I have not found one with the same issue I am having after hours and hours of searching, so I am starting this thread. I have come across people having issues with the O/D light flashing, check engine...

84 Bronco II 5speed Shift lever spins 360 degrees freely and lifts from lever socket freely. Open up the case and found this bushing sitting in the transmission. I fished it out, looks broken in half, but really I don't know if there was more to this part to begin with. So....what is it...

my explorer takes to long to shift this means i have to buy another transmission???

I have a '97 Explorer XLT, and I want to change the shift points. Is it possible? And what does it involve doing? Thanks.

I've had this happen at least 5 times now in ~2000 miles. At around 40 mph (?) the transmission will do a quick, hard dip into the next lower (higher rpm) gear before shifting into the appropriate gear. Has anyone else experienced this?

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?

Hi All, First time poster, but use the site a lot for various issues I have had with my 2003 Ford Explorer V8 Eddie Bauer. I've had it for 4 years, and replaced the transmission 1.5 years ago. Now, with 163Km on it, the transmission is coming out of gear. While I'm accelerating and the...

I have a '94 explorer 4wd auto trans. It will shift into reverse or park with only a slight 4sec delay but OD, D, 2, and 1 give it a 90sec to never delay on the shift. Once in gear It shifts just smooth between 1, 2, 3, etc.... It has ATF and I changed the trans vacuum modulator. I think it...

Hi guys, I have just recently started having a few problems with my 99 ford explorer sport. It has started shifting weird, I now can not take off in drive my d truck just revs up and does not go, I can still get reverse 1st and 2nd gears, I can take off and there is no slipping or anything. But...

Ok, I did a search and found a thread that sounded similar to my issue at first but the conversation turned into a discussion about thermostats: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119377 So, yesterday I was on my way to pick up a set of rotors and pads after work. On the...

My fiance and myself just recently bought an automatic 94 ford explorer xlt. needless to say we got a little bit ripped.. the guy we bought it from told us everything was pretty okay except the blower didnt work for the heat/ ac. and that the brakes were going to need replaced soon. Well once...

I picked up my 1998 ford explorer XLt with auto four wheel drive t case, about three months ago. After i picked it up i noticed if i accelerated really fast there would be a loud popping noise in the front end(while im in auto 4 wheel),(i dont know if it popped in 4x4 high) it sounds like...

Was hoping someone could help with my problem. I need to replace the gear shift slider (part 7c444) as it ripped when some soda spilled and caused it to get sticky and as lever shifted out of park it ripped at the opening of it where the shifter passes through it. This piece is the black...
