torque converter

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4 with a SOHC V8 4.6L. Well during an engine rebuild due to a spun bearing it came time to bolt the Torque converter up to the tranny. Well shes all lined up and no where to go! I feel clunk..wheres the second clunk? wiggle it, turn it clockwise counter...

Basically i was wondering what transmissions are easily interchangeable with in Fords vehichle line up,I have a 1999 5.0 2wd AUTO,so,would the 4.0 tranny work with the 5.0 or would the f150 have the same drive train and possibly and could i use a mustang tranny,I am looking on craigslist trying...

hi everyone, my 96 eddie bauer has a rattling sound whenever it's on neutral or drive and i have the brake on. as soon as i accelerate a bit it disappears. i have no problems while driving it. mechanic says the sound is coming from the transmission, and i've read other posts suggesting...

So ive been here done that but a long time ago when the internet didnt yet exist. My problem is this and Im thinking Im not the only one who has encountered this problem. I am removing the transmission and replacing it on my 98 Mercury Mountaineer 4x4 all wheel drive. Everything is going as...

Hello all ~ My wife was driving our 2001 4x4 explorer and she lost all electrical power. Went to the car and jumped it for 10 minutes - car started up but then lost power after we tried to drive it home after a few 100 yards. Took out the battery and alternator. Battery charged and was OK -...

Fine Ladies and Gentlemen of the explorer forums .. I am in in need of your urgent help in diagnosing my tranny issue. Recently the o/d light has begun flashing always at some point, every drive sometimes going away for awhile. The tranny seems ok even when the light is flashing although...

Over the summer, I bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 AWD that looks brand new with 53,000 miles. It was not driven a lot and garage kept since new. After the test drive, a trip to a mechanic, and some research here, I figured that I had the typical 5.0 exhaust manifold crack. At the...

I have discovered that the weather temp has a lot to do with the killing problem I am having- when I drove it on a 70 degree day, it only killed 2 times (idling at stoplights), when I drove it on a 90 degree day it killed virtually every time I stopped, and put it in reverse. Even chugged a bit...

Hello I am new to having a Ford Explorer. I love the truck..I bought it at an auction so I took a chance. A few things have come up I am hoping the experts here can help me with. I bought it with check engine light on..truck runs great. It has the 4.6LV8. I took to get inspection sticker here in...

I have a 1997 ford explorer 4wd xlt 4 door. i had no problems with it until i was on the highway one day and i got the blinking overdrive light. i took it to a mechanic and they replaced the solenoid in the tranny but that didnt work. They said "it needs a rebuild". but they never got the codes...

My '94 explorer doesn't respond well when I try to accelerate from a stop (or very low speeds). It's an automatic. Going in reverse has no problems at all. I was hoping it was the fuel filter, but that didn't seem to change anything. Does this sound like a bad torque converter? Thank you!!

Just finished with a rebuild on a 4r70w transmission ('05), and now the O/D light wants to start flashing after only a few miles at highway speeds. I have a small hunch about what might be causing it, but I was hoping to get some input from some of the pros out there before I attempt anything...

I have a 97 Explorer Sport that has developed a rattle that appears to be comming from the Torque Converter area. There is no noise when the truck is running in park but is very noticable when placed into gear. My first guess is the torque converter itself. I'm not a transmission guy so I...

I just rebuilt my first A4LD, and it seems to work just great. Thank you Glacier for all the info. I coupled your thread with the factory manual and everything went very well. Then came the test drive, going down the road it went through all the gears shifting great till it come time for the...
