transmision

Hello everyone. I am planning to pull my engine out to finally do timing on it and doing an engine reseal. I am trying to get prepared. I’ve already bought the engine stand but I don’t know what bolts to get for it. It is making me so frustrated that I can’t find any info on this subject. Are...

Hey y’all! I am pretty sure this question has been answered and I know not much can be done without taking a deep look into said issue. I just bought a 03 explorer with the 4.6 4x4 and I don’t have and forward gears. Not even in 4x4 I don’t. In park and neutral I hear like a clanking sound that...

Bought 2020 Ford Explorer after 3 months the transmission cooler went out. They ensured me no damaged was done to the transmission. 2.5 yrs later I need a new transmission at 70,000 miles. My brake pads lasted longer that the transmission. Per dealership damage was done due to excessive heat...

Transmission suddenly disconnecting when the car is "cold" We bought a '98 explorer from a neighbor like 2 years ago, at that moment the transmission already was having some issues, first of all, it couldn't engage "parking" so it had to be left in reverse for you to take off the key from the...

My 05 explorer recently threw a check transmission light along with the O/D light flashing. Read the codes and am getting P0713 trans temp and P1711 TFT sensor. Could this be a bad TFT sensor? And can anyone help me in locating the TFT sensor. I checked trans temp and trans fluid temp and it...

I have 2007 Explorer 4.0 2WD 5r55s transmission that works weird recently. I've got transmission line popped out last month and lots of fluid came out. They fixed the line and filled the fluid. They explained it was a bad trans radiator. But after the repair I noticed the transmission started...

I was doing a short drive, around half an hour both ways, while I was going to my destination, my check engine light came on, then on my way back from my destination the OD light started blinking, at that time, I could smell something burning, I wasn't going over 65 mph, and I wasn't having any...

Hello! My mother passed away and she owned a 2004 Ford Explorer (Eddie edition) the transmission has blown and I was wondering how do I know which transmission it’ll need? Can I use a transmission from let’s say a 2002 Ford Explorer? Sorry not sure how any of this works. Thank you!

I just purchased a 2006 Explorer EB with 167K (roughly) and drove it 1.5hrs home. I then was driving around town just fine. I had a vehicle check from Firestone within 48hrs of getting it home just so I could have a print out of what needed to be fixed. Couple of days later, I drove it an hour...

I have two problems on my 1998 Ford Explorer 5.0 V8, and I don’t know if they’re related in any way. Can anyone help me straighten out what’s going on. First is the shifter that’s at issue. Starting off, the tranny was rebuilt 2 to 3 years ago. Also, I just went into the dash, and replaced the...

My 2016 Base model Explorer will drive fine in first, it will upshift once but feel as if it is losing power, and the car lurches and clunks into 3rd gear, losing almost all power to the wheels. The dash then flashes "See Manual". The check engine light is on steady. The code reader said it...

I have a 2008 ford explorer. Front cooler got clogged. I got a new case with the bore already reamed and sleeved. Used a 2005 ford mustang for parts. I used every single part except the torque converter. I used another torque converter i had for a 2007 explorer. Installed the transmission. Drove...

Hello, I have a 2005 ford explorer 4.0. it has 195k miles on it and i assume the second transmission in it (but I don't really know, i just read that those 5r55s transmissions blow up at about 135k miles). I did 3 pan drops and fills and had to replace the solenoid pack. My transmission makes a...

Hello everyone i have a problem with my Ford Explorer 2010 and i would be really grateful if you could help me the car is showing 2 warning lights other than the low pressure warning i went to check on these lights and i got this as a result i understood everything beside the last one...

Hey, I cannot find any help with my problem on any forums. My problem is that since some time I can always notice while decelerating the car the shift from 6th to 5th gear. It happens around 43 mph. The shift is not hard, but i can notice it with my body. All other shifts while decelerating the...

I have an 08 Ford Explorer and on a trip back from Las Vegas after about 4 hrs going back home the check engine light came after having the light check it came up as PO775 pressure control solenoid B took it to transmission shop to have fluid changed but there stated need a new transmission...

So I've been trying to nail this problem down for a while now 6+ months. So I bought this truck from my aunt knowing it didn't have O.D. (238,000 miles and a lot of mountain trips) and figured it might be a fun project to rip apart the trans and see what's going on. Long story short I have not...

So I’ve had a vibration in the cabin that’s gotten worse over the years ever since my transmission was lifted off the mount to replace the rear main seal. It’s noticeably worse when in drive or reverse at a stop, but gets better when in park or neutral. Indicating that the vibration occurs when...

I had someone take out one of my selenoid bushings without measuring the depth. Any idea what kind of problems that could cause?

This is my favorite car I’ve ever owned. Yesterday, the starter went out (I think) because it wouldn’t crank or anything. (Tried jumping, swapping relays, no luck) So I called AAA to have them tow it to my house at lunch today, where I could jack it up and replace / troubleshoot the starter...

Hello, Besides some other tranny work I'm about to do, I've developed an intermittent thumping. It started after driving on a smaller spare tire, now replaced. The thumping occurs at higher speeds, 40+) particularly while decelerating without breaking. once started it tends to stay on a while...

Alright so I have a 2000 ford explorer, she starts like a dream, engines alittle old and theres a few parts here and there that needed replacing but all in all shes a decent car, however ive had an issue lately where the transmission wont shift between gears and my rpms will shoot up. The only...

Hey guys, I’m a longtime lurker that finally decided to join. This forum has given me a lot of the answers I’ve needed since I bought my first Explorer in 2014, but I have an issue with one I just bought that I’m stumped on. The vehicle is a 2008 Explorer Eddie Bauer, 4x4, V8 with 122k miles...

I have a new 2018 Platinum, ordered in February and delivered in April. After about 500 miles noticed a fairly loud hum/harmonic noise when the car reaches 20 mph, 30 mph and about 45 mph. It appears to only be an annoying vibration noise as I don't feel anything in the driveability. It happens...

hi I own a 2008 Explorer Limited with the 4.6 with 125k. A couple weeks ago I started to notice odd shifting in and out of 2nd gear. It mostly happens when it tries to down shift. I’ll be slowing to come to a stop and it will shift down hard when I’m almost completely stopped. (It seems like...

Hey guys, I have a 2004 Sport Trac, and the transmission fluid fill tube is rusted so severely that it is coming apart in large flakes of rust. Due to this, it's developed a slow leak. I've been searching and having trouble finding a part number for this. Does anyone know the Ford part number...

Sort of an update to the "Nagging Issues". In the old thread, the truck did not want to go into reverse. It would wait until the gas peddle was tapped bringing the rpms up then it would hard-shift into reverse. Dealer couldn't duplicate the error even tho they changed parts previously to it...

looking for info on what to be done swapping trannys a 96 explorer trans to a 91. ive seen the 96 trans is electronic do I got to swap all the wiring harness including engine harness? need help thanks.

Hey, i got the infamous OD light flashing on me... And at first the truck was all normal. But now when i stop at a Junction to wait on a car its like the converter stops working. You can push Down the throtlle, and rev the engine. But you won't move before you change it from "drive" to "1" gear...

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...

I had my transmission rebuilt 2 weeks ago and had been having downshift and 2-3 shift bangs. I took it back and he adjusted the MLP which "softened" to concern. Three days later I try to drive to work and my truck only went 75 feet. I heard a gurgling sound, and got out the truck only to find...

Hello im in the process of removing by auto trans form an 02 sport. Ultimately the trans will be scrapped and switched with a manual. I have all the bell housing bolts out and the trans still wont come off. Tried prying, banging and ratchet straps. Ive done this once before (not the manual swap...

Hello, first off if this is in the wrong section i apologize. I realize it is modified once I do the swap but I need info on what these cars came with stock. So... Someone in the 3rd gen sections said I should try and post here as well. It appears the 02 sports are more similar to the 2nd gens...

Does anyone have a servo bore repair kit they would be willing to ship to me? I would be more than happy to cover the shipping costs and the bushings. Thanks.

So the truck started shaking about a month ago, idk where this came from, the car did start feeling funny as i accelerated, but that went away to my knowledge after i changed the oil, I have no warning lights or anything, I changed the oil, im thinking maybe its tune up time? Any help would be...

Hello everybody! I love my old ford, and hope to your experience, to get some help. I have some mystical issue with my old explorer xlt 1992. The few mounth ago the oil level in transmission began decreasing. There are no any serious leak under car. So one week ago its begun some strange...

Just bought a 96 Ex Sport with a 4.0 and a 5-speed. The trans is stuck in reverse. My question is... is this something I can fix from the top side or am I going to need to pull the gearbox?

Hey! I have a 1991 ford explorer. It kept blowing through trans seals so I called my local junk yard and they hooked me up with a 1990 ford ranger trans. After we got it in, it will only reverse. It tries to shut off in reverse. Why won't it move forward at all? And then have a hard time going...

I need help with a problem on my 01 Sport Trac v6 4.0L 2wd. The problems I'm having are: 1. Sometimes more than other times I have to turn the ignition key into on position put my foot on the brake then move back and forth through the gears and put it back into Park. Then the truck will start...

Today I drove a 180 mile trip in my Gen 2 Explorer. They last stretch was somewhat curve up hill roads. Constant 2500 rpm uphill, pretty much. When we got to our cabin there was a burning smell and some slight smoking according to my family members. I could smell it but didn't see any smoke. One...
