transmission fluid

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...

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've got a 2002 2WD Explorer with a 4.0 L SOHC V6 engine that has a very slow transmission fluid leak. I'd like to check the fluid level and top off the fluid if necessary. Have been trying to find a how-to thread on this forum using the search engine but haven't had any success finding one...

I've got a 2006 Mountaineer, 4.0 AWD with the 5R55S tranny in it. It has 146k on it, and have owned the vehicle for almost two years, since 117k. The transmission shifts good and has no slips. I have no idea the previous maintenance done on the vehicle before I bought it, only what I've done...

I recently installed a used transmission in my 1994 Frord Explorer XLT and after 3,000 miles I checked the fluid and it was brown. I was wondering what could cause this to happen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. If you need any more information feel free to ask.

98 XLT, 4.0 SOHC, AWD, Auto - 191K I have no record or recollection on last changing the transmission filter and adding or changing fluid. I have been convinced that flushes are a bad idea and just plan to drop the pan, change the filter and replace the 5 or 6 qt loss. However, if this...

I just replaced the clutch and pressure plate on my truck. While the tranny was out I pulled out the slave cylinder and inspected it closely. The boot looked fine and there was no noticeable wear. I reinstalled everything went to start it up and could not depress the clutch. After inspection I...

Hello, New member, and first time poster here! I have a strange set of issues going on with my '95 that I wanted to share and get some opinions on from anyone that cares to offer some feedback. I've been a long time viewer of these forums/threads, and I've found a number of posts/threads...

Greetings! I reciently purchased a 96 Explorer XLT 4.0 2wd. It has 220,000 miles but is in good running condition. I wanted to see what the consensus is on whether to change the Transmission Fluid and Filter. I was thinking of a high milage transmission fluid but am hesitant because I dont want...

Hey everyone! I have a 02 Sport Trac 4X4 with 82K on it. I want to have the tranny serviced, but am not sure if I should have a standard service done (filter/ fluid) or a flush and service?? I am the second owner, and I don't think the tranny has ever been serviced...expert advice apreciated :D

Newbie here so speak slowly and use lots of hand gestures. ha ha. Kid drives a 93 Explorer w/ 4.0 6 Cyl, 4x4, AT. From what I can gather the transmission is A4LD which I understand has vacuum modulator. Trans fluid cooler separate from radiator. I have read all the threads about leaks and i...

I have been looking around but I could not find the torque specs for the bolts on the transmission pan for a 2004 explorer AWD . Can anybody with a manual tell me that ? My Haynes does not show the torque specs for the bolts... :rolleyes:

I have a 2000 XLT w/ 4.0 OHV and the 5R55E tranny. To make it easier for a project I have in mind (adding an external fluid filter) I was considering replacing the stock steel tranny coolant line from the rad to the tranny with a reinforced tranny coolant hose. Would this be a bad idea for any...

Hello, I just had the transmission rebuilt and the torque converter replaced on my 02 V8 Explorer 120K. A couple days after, I started getting ATF fluid dripping from the transfer case. Looked it up in my Haynes and it suggested checking the level of the transfer case fluid. When I...
