transmission

I'm trying to find information on swapping a 5r55e to a 4r55e but I haven't been very successful. I see alot of information on 4r55e to 5r55e though. And before anybody starts asking me hard questions... its not for my Mountaineer. My question is for Elessar65's 98 Explorer Thanks guys!!

I have a 2002 4wheel drive Exporer XLT that needs a new transmission. I'm looking for ways to get my car a new transmission or rebuilt or used for under $2000. I was wondering can transmissions from other years be put in my explorer? And could I put a manual transmission in? I've heard that...

I just took my 95 EXP-XLT (172K) to 4 places that can replace leaking, rusted transmission coolant lines, the dealer wanted nothing to do with it. Tranny shop said it is a PITA because the exhaust and possible the crosmember "may" need dropping to tilt the tranny for access to the fittings of...

I have a 1997 ford explorer 4wd xlt 4 door. i had no problems with it until i was on the highway one day and i got the blinking overdrive light. i took it to a mechanic and they replaced the solenoid in the tranny but that didnt work. They said "it needs a rebuild". but they never got the codes...

My '94 explorer doesn't respond well when I try to accelerate from a stop (or very low speeds). It's an automatic. Going in reverse has no problems at all. I was hoping it was the fuel filter, but that didn't seem to change anything. Does this sound like a bad torque converter? Thank you!!

Wanted some input from fellow 4x4 and Explorer haulers regarding a prospectus Coleman pop trailer we are considering purchasing. The coleman pop tent has a unloaded Gross weight of Box Size Classification 12ft t Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 3,500 lbs Unloaded Vehicle Weight 2,655...

So I hear that a lot of people with the A4LD automatic transmissions have had a lot of problems like mine. My buddy was going to send his 94 Ford ranger XL I4 Auto to the scrap yard. It had a coolant leak and the trany did not have N or R. Both N and R would drive forward. He is not very...

Love this site, its saved my butt so many times. Never posted before. I have a '98 explorer sport with a manual transmission with 108k miles and from what i've read the slave cylinder goes right around there. It seems like thats happened. Can't shift into 1st or reverse from neutral and is...

Hello, I am new from Philly. My 2001 Explorer 4.0L SOHC XLS (automatic) sometimes buzz and hard to go backward though shift to reverse gear is very easy. I tried other gears 1, 2, D, none of them have similar problems. I searched here but not sure whether they're heating shield or transfer case...

Hey so i have an 02 xlt explorer and my tranny has been acting up. every time i start it and go from park to reverse or park to drive the engine revs up and stalls out then goes into gear.. also my overdrive light has been flashing.. anybody know why? thanks- zach

Hoping someone can assist me with this. I have a 1997 Explorer with the 4.0 V6 and I've had it parked for over a year now. I occasionally start it and drive it around my neighborhood to keep the battery charged. I have noticed that it took a few seconds to engage reverse and once it did it...

Morning all! Sorry, but I accidentally posted this in the new members forum, don't know how to delete that thread... It is Memorial Day Weekend and I am about to undertake my first A4LD service with the inspiration of so many of you. First off, thank you ALL for so many postings that detail...

I am rebuilding a 4R55E transmission from my 1998 Explorer 4WD 4.0L. I bought a rebuild kit for it that only requires 4 steel & 4 friction clutches (for a 3.0L engine). My original assembly had 5 of each. Will it be a problem if I continue with this kit?

I just bought a '97 XLT from a guy on craigslist. It's pretty clean (especially after I changed the oil and put some coolant in the radiator) but I still have an mini issue. It's not anything I can't live with, just wondering if anyone's heard of this happening. PS--everything is original...no...

So I just found out by our mechanic that the Transmission Torque Converter is bad, and needs to be replaced. Would I be better off replacing the whole transmission? Or just the torque converter. We have our own mechanic we go to, so no way am I going to the dealer, and I could always buy the...

I have a 1998 Explorer with a 5.0L engine and 4R70W transmission. When I put it into reverse, it makes a whining noise similar to the noise a locked transfer case makes in 4 low. When it started doing it, it would only make the noise until I gave it gas. Lately it hasn't been stopping when I rev...

Hello guys.... I have a question... the V8 4.6L has a auxiliary transmission Cooler installed from factory??. I f I see under the engine there is a small cooler panel.. but I am not sure if it is for the steering power system or for the automatic tranny.... I am pretty concern about heat on...

Hey everyone, Seeing if anyone can give me some recommendations here. I just took my 05' mountaineer in to have the trans fluid changed. On the way home i noticed that my tuck was smoking, when I had a chance to look underneath I noticed trans fluid everywhere! I'm assuming that they left a...

Hello all, Thanks for looking at my post here. I would really appreciate some input. I have put in a new rebuilt manual transmission. It works fine but it is noisy. Just last weekend I went on the first significant road trip with it and it now has a high pitched sound when the vehicle is...

My wife's '06 Explorer developed a fault with the 4WD, based on what I was able to understand from the brief description in the manual for the information panel icon that looks like a wrench. My wife said this lamp illuminated when she started up a hill after making a right turn. She also...

I want to remove and replace the shift boot on my 88 B-II 5-spd/4x4, but I can't figure out how to get the knobs off the shifters. I've been told to use an adjustable wrench under the knob and hit it with a hammer, but doing it that way a) hasn't worked and b) it has the potential to mess up the...

sorry to start things off with a problem. I have a 96 explorer and i am having a problem with the speedometer. when i push on the gas petal it works but when i let go of the gas the speedometer stops working. i have changed the vehicle speed sensor in the transmission and the abs speed sensor in...

My car is 4.6L V8 with 117,000 miles. It was driving great, no issues at all. I've gotten all the service done in the last six years at a Ford dealership. I went to get an oil change last Thursday and when I drove out it immediately started "shuddering" - it vibrates for a few seconds every...

Hello, I was hoping maybe you all could help. I have a 1995 Explorer which will not shift into overdrive, and the "OD OFF" light flashes. Someone suggested I find the trouble codes, which I did. Just as a piece of information, I have the kind of Explorer that does not have a shift position...

I'm a new member to this forum, and have browsed the threads to see if anyone had run into a similar problem, but nothing so far. Here's the problem: During the heavy snow two weeks ago in DC, I put the truck (Explorer 98XLT, 96 k) in 4low, and afterwards it remained stuck in 4 low. Tried...

Hi, My tranny (4R55E?) died yesterday. It's stuck in reverse and I can't make it go forward at all, The linkage is working so it's something inside the tranny.... My Question: I got in contact with a tranny repairshop and they have a tranny from 1997 thats rebuild for sale.. He says that...

Hi guys, Im swapping a blown ford ranger tranny w/ a 3.0 flex fuel engine with a 1999 ranger with the same drivetrain. The 99 tranny is 3/4 of an inch off and i cant get the tranny all the way in. I thought it might be the input shaft, but im also leaning towards the torque converter. I am using...

Well my O/D light has been flashing for a while so i took it to autozone to read the codes nothing came up, I decided it would be a good idea to check the fluid and saw it was a dark gray color. The fluid did not smell burnt so i put in a new tranmission oil filter and oil. i noticed my Rpms...

so i bought my second explorer the other day with 109k on it, when i took it for a test drive it didnt show any signs of tranny problems. However once i purchased the vehicle i took it out on the free way, in over drive right around 55-60 mph it starts to make a flapping and hitting sound...

Hello, I have been trying to install a used engine I just bought, the 6 Cylinder E 4.0L EFI SOHC on my 2002 Sport Trac. I set the engine in but I could not get it to pull tight to the transmission. It sits about half an inch or so away, no matter what I try to do. I was able to get some bolts...

My trans slips when in reverse going up a hill or in any situation that puts a load on the vehical... like in mud. Going forward up steep hills no problem. There are no unusual noises. Any idea of what the problem could be? I recently had the trans rebuilt. The shop assures me it is not...

Hey there, This is my first post so I hope that I can get some answers. I have used this forum to fix a number of things on my X and there seems like a never ending list of things that still need to be done. It only has 75k miles on it and I just cant seem to get it to run right. I have...
