I just recently got a rebuilt auto trans put in my 95 explorer. Last night the O/D off light started flashing like when my trans was replaced. Its shifting hard when I slow down. Is this common in explorers? Is this a cheap fix?

I was leaving school today and i was going up a hill and i looked at the guages and noticed my speedometer was going from 35 droping to 25 and the tach was between 4 and 5 grand. I shifted to see if i lost any other gears. I still have 1st, 2nd, Drive, and Reverse. I know i should get it fixed...

I bought a used 1999 Explorer Sport in January. Last week, my transmission took a crap. My tech dropped the trans pan and there were a lot of bits and pieces in there. I am looking into a used transmission. I was asked when the Explorer was built. Is there a difference in transmissions with...

Had some issues with my transmission. Would flash O/D light and Check Transmission lights when driving on the freeway. When cold, it would shift right. Once warm, the shift would delay between 3 and 4, and delay and then shift hard into reverse. OD worked properly. Diagnosed it and replaced the...

I have a 1997 Explorer RWD with automatic transmission. Recently I drove off from a stop light and once I reached 30 MPH I heard a faint "CLICK" after which the transmission disengaged and will not shift into any gear. It has plenty of fluid, and offered no warning at all before failing...

As a former Ford Tech and dealership parts guy I was fairly confident that I could take a nice 1997 Explorer 4.0 OHC with a smoked tranny and dead air and use a 2000 model slightly wrecked and rusty 2000 model and have cheapo 4x4 . Great theory . Visually very similar , but drive train is not...

When I checked the automatic transmission fluid on my 2001 Explorer 4.0 i found that it was low. I added some Mercon V only to have it pouring right back out again. There is a hole in the transmission dip stick pipe about the size of a dime. It looks as though it rusted out. Is this part...

Hi Guys, I am new to this forum, and to Explorers for that matter. After spending the last 5 or so hours reading & looking for a solution to my problem, I am both impressed with the wealth of knowledge here, and disappointed that I found no problem like mine. To start at the beginning, I...

Hello all, I recently purchased a 1995 Ford Explorer, 4WD Automatic. Had a few issues at purchase that I knew about. Has to clean the MAF Sensor, was going to clean the IAC Valve, but had to replace it, etc. Mostly all minor stuff. Still need to do the TP Sensor still. Don't mind about these...
