transmission

Question, in changing the radiator in 2003 Fd Explorer XLT 4WD, the transmission cooler has to be removed with the radiator assembly, removed from assembly to swap radiator. Probably everyone knows this but exactly how much actual transmission fluid is leaked out? From looking at how one...

Recall 25S35 concerns PCM software problems which required me to bring my 2025 Explorer in for a reflash and a transmission inspection. My transmission didn’t pass inspection (although it’s working perfectly) and is scheduled to be replaced two months from now. Apparently the software glitch...

Hello y’all, I’m up here in AB Canada so I’ll be in km not in bald eagle. I have a 2008 explorer awd with (wait for it) 457,000 km on it and counting! I got it from a old couple who had it from new, basically all hwy km and meticulously maintained by them ( hence the high km and few issues)...

Hey everyone. Another week. Another Mounty problem. The big nut in the picture has a very slight weep of coolant, where nut meets radiator. The weeping is at one, and only one, point of the six flats; the point that's at 8 o'clock in the picture. This is a replacement radiator about 8 years...

Hello everyone, I have a 2008 Ford Explorer XLT V6. About three months ago, I had the transmission unit repaired (replaced front seal). Unfortunately, the original wiring harness was damaged during the process, so I had to replace it with a used one. Since then, I have been noticing an issue...

2016 Explorer Limited 3.5 This all started with a speed based rhythmic thumping that I thought was a tire issue. Took it to discount tire, they found no issues and rotated the tires. The thumping sound remains. A few days later I noticed what I thinking is a grinding sound at the initial...

How can I decipher my specific rear differential and automatic transmission without crawling underneath the vehicle?

Cleaning out my toolbox a little and I have 2 transmission tools for the A4LD transmission. I bought these years ago and haven't used them myself and both my Explorers are manuals so I don't see myself messing with an A4LD anytime soon. Included are a steel p/n T-5015 Overdrive Sprag Installer...

Hi there I have a 96' 4.0 with a slightly retrofitted 5r55e that has had a 4r55e valve body and OD band/Intermediate band servos from a 96 4r55 installed with a transgo shift kit. I just within the past 6 months got this truck running again (blew the tranny that i put in it 2 years prior and it...

Hello All! I recently had to replace a rear CV axle but Auto Zone wanted to know what transmission I had. I ended up ordering it from another site. Yesterday, I wanted to top off transmission fluid and the clerk asked me what transmission was in the car. I don't know!!! How do I tell what...

Hello again! (explorer 2008 4.0L v6 4x2 XLT) First, thanks to all for my first post about fluid changes on “high mileage” did it and nothing bad happened, well, nothing bad besides the things that I had happened, so is a win! But now, got a concern, I had an issue with 2nd to 3rd sometimes...

Hello everyone, this is my second post and I am just posting it in dire desperation sorry in advance as well for the long explanation… Got a 2008 Explorer and is running good, sometimes shifting from 2nd to 3rd seems a bit rough but that is only when it is cold, once is hot it goes away...

Looking for a replacement Transmission fill tube for a 5.0/4r70w combination. Seems most are 5.4/4r70w instead of 5.0. Appears they are different. Anyone have a part number or source to replace? I do want stock. Thanks!!

Hello, all: I would like to say ahead of time I hate transmissions and prefer my four banger that rides longer than these ford transmissions. My explorer is an 07 xlt v6. I am guessing the 5r55s transmission. It is having a rough time going into gears. I received the code p0755 and a monkey...

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...

Hi Guys, I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with 96,000 original miles a few weeks ago private sale. Huge stack of service records, I gave it a very thorough inspection and it passed with flying colors. Recently I noticed one issue with the truck. I deliver seasonally for UPS out...

I recently fixed a fairly decent leak on my transmission cooler line. I'm not sure how much ended up in the dirt but the truck would barely move at all when I revved to 3k. I didn't try my luck and went straight for an ATF fill. My starter decided to die at that exact moment so I filled it...

Hi. Recently I picked up a 1996 Ford Explorer with the M5OD 5 speed. The vehicle has approximately 57,000 original miles, and I'm a little stumped trying to fix this issue with shifting gears. The clutch pedal feels great and firm and I've already removed the clutch hydraulic system to attempt...

If I've narrowed down the 'new' car search to a 2020-2023 Explorer, what are the best options for mechanical (and overall) reliability? What to avoid? (This thread gave me some context, but it's from 2021.)

Hey everyone I'm new here and I'm currently at a loss with my sport. I've had this thing for a little over 4 years now and she's got 260k miles on her and she decided she doesn't want to engage into any gear. First off the fluid level is perfect not burnt and not shiny. That being said I just...

Likes to only shift if you take her to redline

Hi folks I have a 2009 Ford Explorer, that has been having transmission (5r55s) problems lately. I have changed the transmission fluid and cleaned up the transmission solenoid. Transmission is shifting better now but I have one problem. When I shift the gear from parking or neutral to drive/D it...

Hey everyone, my 94 explorer tranny went out which is a 4 speed auto. A good tranny from a 92 was given to me, but it appears to be a 3 speed. One less shift solenoid than the 94 tranny and the smaller part of the wiring harness doesn't fit the plug. Also looks like an extra wire to deal with...

I own a 2014 Ford Explorer Sport. In the years leading up to the following incident, there has never been anything wrong with the car. Within the past month, the automatic transmission has taken more and more time to gear up. You can hear the engine rev because it should be gearing up but it...

Dropped the transmission pan on my 05 Explorer last night to put in a new Solenoid pack, and I saw this.... I just stopped at this point... is it what I think it is?

My problem: 2010 Explorer. 170,000 miles Transmission was shifting PERFECTLY, however I was getting a po741. Fluid was NEVER changed. I changed Selinoid pack, filter ,this did not help. I changed Valve body which fixed my po741 code ,however I was NOW getting slippage for 1 block when cold ...

Driving me crazy !!!!! .. I have a 1998 5.0 Limited, AWD, 81K miles. I have a MOTOPOWER MP69035 OBD2 Scanner. The truck kept always giving me a P0117 code ( Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor 1 Circuit Low), no matter what I did …. 3 new sensors, 2 new dash sensors, new thermostat, all air...

Hello explorer enthusiasts. need some help with my ford explorer 2010 xlt. With 5R55S Since past few days i am experiencing some issues with the truck. Wrench light comes on everytime i go above 4 th gear. But no unusual behavior with the truck.. no limp mode or anything. Takes off good...

Does anybody know what this is? Found in the bottom of my transmission pan. It's been slipping pretty bad lately so I figured I would drop the pan and check for metal shavings and replace the filter and fluid. This is what I found. Also, is that considered a lot of metal shavings? Trying to...

I just purchased a ford gold certified preowned 2020 XLT with under 30,000 miles. We have been driving it around down for the past day and noticed that it seems to shift hard between 2nd and 3rd, and will jolt a little when downshifting while coming to a stop. We didn't notice during the test...

MY beloved 2000 Limited V8 AWD Explorer took a hit. A forklift driver hit me in the Walmart parking lot and did enough damage to prevent me from taking a trip I've been planning for almost a year. I'm looking at a few different options. I can either spend a $5-10k and get something as nice as...

I’m asking for someone else. I think it’s a 2004. Their car will barely move you until it reach 3000RPM/30MPH. What could it be? Thanx

I previously owned a 2008 Ford Explorer XLT which unceremoniously blew it's transmission on the way to the supermarket. I had a long battle with it, trying to diagnose a seemingly haunted PCM, as well as any service on the transmission being a complete pain in the ass. I purchased a 2007 Sport...

Hi there! Everything was great. Then this happened: Drove to work for the 50th time this month. Finished work. Hopped in the truck after a long day. Started it up just fine. noticeably rough idle, huh, that's new! popped it into reverse to back out of my spot, definitely bumpy and rough, had...

First time here, Looking for answers, hoping y'all can help.. 2016 Ford Explorer Limited approx 57K miles. So here's the deal.. Transmission is leaking. I noticed it when my wife pulled out of the garage today and there was a small spot of transmission fluid on the ground. I've attached a few...

Hi everyone! I have a 2008 Mercury Mountaineer Premier AWD that has been ran hard by previous owners. It has leaks from the trans cooler lines, and the fittings on the radiator. I had planned on replacing the fittings, but after I removed the trans lines, and drained the trans fluid from the...

99 explorer 4.0, 4x4 - 190xxx, My OD light has been flashing intermittently. It started off only doing it every once in awhile, but now it seems to be doing it more frequently. When the light is flashing, there is some hesitation on acceleration like the brakes are dragging, it tends to stall...

Maybe this is beating an old thread. I by no mean am saying let’s repeat what’s been said 100 different ways on here. Much of what’s said is gold and just not even read, followed by some butthead coming by and asking someone to teach them which way they need to turn the wrench, even with the...

2003 Mercury Mountaineer slams into 5th gear. v6 4.0L AWD with just over 240k miles. When driving over 45mph it will slam hard into 5th gear. I also hard time putting shifter into and out of park.

Im swapping a rebuilt 5r55s from a 2007 explorer limited trim 4x4 with the 4.0 into my dd 2008 explorer xlt trim 4x4 with the 4.0 as well. Curious if im gonna running into any compatibility issues when i go to swap them, particularly with the ecm/tcm? Will the 2007 5r55s plug and play with the...
