transmission issue

happy Friday! On my commute this morning the transmission failed. Drive does not work Reverse 95% does not work. Gear selections 1,2 got me to work. Could this be a torque converter issue? Edit: 2001 Explorer 4.0 Any thoughts?

I have a 1995 4.0l 2wd 5 speed explorer sport Some times the manual trans acts weird. Sometimes when I go to put it in 1st gear it doesn't want to go. But It will go into all other gears. But other times it's fine. I have no grinding or whining. I've replaced and bench bleed the clutch master...

Ok Folks, truck is a 2006 ford explorer limited with the 4.6 engine and automatic transmission. The abs and traction control lights are always on because I haven't been able to find the culprit there. Not sure if it is related to my new problem, but it is the only other issue this vehicle has...

I'm new to the boards here but have viewed them in the past. I have a 2012 3.5L FWD with 102K miles on it. Up until now, I've had barely any issues. Last week, while merging onto the highway, I needed to accelerate hard due to traffic. When I went to WOT, the trans tried to downshift and then...

I have a 2007 Explorer 4WD, 4.0 with 260,000 miles on it. When I start it in the morning and put it in reverse, I get a fairly loud whirring sound. I put it back in park (sound stops) and then back in reverse and it goes into reverse as it is supposed to. After backing 20-30 feet, I hear a...

Driving from Calgary to Vancouver and stopped in Banff for the night. Just before I got here going up a modest hill at about 40mph the tranny made a loud clunk and felt like I lost power for about 5 seconds. RPM dropped down to pretty much nothing. When I parked I could smell something burning...

Hi. New member here. I have a 2014 Explorer 2 liter with the Ecoboost. It's got 44,000 miles on it. From my understanding it might be under warranty still. My problem is the orange wrench of death. How the hell do I figure out what transmission I have, and even though I suspect the transmission...

I recently bought a 93 explorer sport 4x4. The transmission started to delay when I put it into drive. One day I put it in reverse then drive. Then nothing. Like it was in neutral. Would not go into drive. Only reverse it would go. I checked the transmission fluid and was not low. Saw no leak...

I have a '04 Explorer and the transmission needs to be replaced. How do I find out which one is the exact one to buy? Can you find out by just the VIN#?

Little background here. I recently bought an explorer (07 4.0 with 140k) that barely ran. Radiator was busted and the lady let it overheat. The car would barely run but was able to move slightly before eventually stalling. I dont remember how it drove but i think it drove fine from the couple...

Recently purchased a 5 speed Explorer 4 door. V6 120K. Has transmission issues. When the engine is off, it goes into 2,3,4 and reverse fine.

I have a 2007 4.0 that I replaced the radiator in this week. The radiator had developed a crack in the top of it so it had to go. Got the new radiator and installed it. Only issue I had was getting transmission lines to release. I could not get the disconnects to let go. I ended up...

Hi Everyone, Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone for their time, patience and knowledge. In about a month, I will be celebrating my 6th year anniversary with my 02 Explorer! I'd like to think that this experience with my first car wouldn't have been as successful without the members of this...

About a week ago one of my Transmission oil cooler line connectors broke at the radiator side. I had to replace the entire radiator because Ford doesn't service the connector by itself (because they redesigned it because the original had crappy plastic). I did the radiator replacement myself...

My 2000 Ford Explorer XLT 4X4 very suddenly started behaving oddly, not shifting properly into gear in drive (D), apparently not getting out of 1st gear; and poorly shifting in reverse, but running normally, as best I can tell, in 2 and 1. It lurched into gear a bit in drive, but didn't stay in...
