transmission

Have '98 XLT, 5.0 L, AWD, 4R70W tranny. 228K miles. Except for brakes, shocks, tires & tuneups have only had to replace front end (ball joints, TRE's, upper & lower control arms) until this week. Driving along at 45 mph starting up a hill and heard a loud "thunk" and stopped moving. No prior...

Hi, A friend has a 2002 Explorer with the 4.6L V8 and 4x4. Can anyone confirm that this would be a 5R55? I can tell you it is one of the ones that do not have the dipstick. Anyway they had it flushed a while back at the dealership and ever since then it has hesitated between shifting. For...

I bought a Haynes manual for this truck. The forward clutches are worn in the factory installed transmission, and I'm swapping it for a transmission I was given by a friend (I live in the sticks and the closest transmission shop is 60 miles out). The manual says to remove the starter, then...

Please move ahead to last post for most up to date info...... Hello all. Back again with another transmission issue. My brother recently purchased (3 weeks ago) a 1994 Explorer 4 door 4x4 with 4.0L and 100,000 miles on it. The truck has been doing fine for about 3 weeks with no real...

A spring was installed in the transmission case worm trail to trap large machining chips, and reduce engine stall complaints caused by the stuck converter lock-up valve in the main control of the transmission. This spring should not be installed in transmissions built prior to 8/21/91.

Hello to all. I've looked through many posts on this site and found a lot of great info, but nothing exactly like my problem. 02 Mountaineer with 4.6, 5R55W trans, towing pkg. 100,000 miles on the odometer, purchased used at 80,000 so I do not know the service record on it. Diff has a slight...

Hi everyone, since this is my first post (Actually the second if I count the introduction one) I'll make it clear. I got my truck almost 3 months ago, and before taking it to the freeways, I decided to take it to a Shop so they can make a full diagnostic. Here's the list of the things they...

When accelerating hard, up a hill or with a trailer there is a banging / clunking noise coming from the transmission. The harder the acceleration / steeper the hill the louder it all gets and with a heavy trailer going up a steep hill it all starts to sound very worrying and I have to take my...

Hello, 93 Eddie Bauer Explorer 4x4 Automatic trans 4.0 v6 4 door Here's my issue I'm needing some direction on. I got on the interstate for the 1st time yesterday and at cruising speed (65mph) the tranny would go from D to OD, D to OD, D to OD, until I either sped on up or slowed...

My roommate "borrowed" my '03 Explorer Sport and since its return I can smell what smells a lot like burning brakes but it feels like it is in the transmission/clutch. When I open the hood the smell is much stronger from the left side than it is from the right. I can't figure out where exactly...

Here is the deal. My father in law went out and got a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT Autotrac with a 4.0L V6. Now he lives in a Virginia and I live in Pennsylvania so I haven't seen the truck yet. He bought it at auction and told me that the park and reverse doesn't work on it. He thinks someone...

I have a 2002 Explorer XLS 4.0L V6. I bought the car used in November 2007 with 73,000 miles on it. It currently has 90,000 miles. I have no idea if the transmission fluid was ever changed before I bought it, and I have not changed it since I bought it. I know it "should" be changed at 90,000...

I know a guy who has a '98 SOHC and wanted to know other than '98 whether any other years match up the same in the 5R55E. Would a '99 work? '01? '97? You get the idea. Let me know what you think ASAP.

First off let me say that I had bought a new tranny (Ford part # F87Z-7V000-LARM)-not sure if it's a "4R55E or a 5R55E" installed by Cottman Transmissions at 151,000 miles, mainly because of the OD light issue and it slipping a lot. Pulled a boat for a few summers. Anyways, now there is...

I have a 1993 XLT that I love, sadly the transmission went out about 6 months ago. I don't have the money to have it replaced at a mechanic. I have worked on cars for years, but have never done anything with transmissions. This is completely new ground for me. Now here is my situation, The...

Ok. I have a 1995 ranger 2.3l automatic with a 4r44e transmission,and ive been havein transmission problems for about a month now. It first started with the o/d light flashing and then it progressed to loss of o/d. I replaced the ABS and the turbine speed sensor. Still problems. I also flushed...

My girlfriend was jumping my 2nd gen 5.0 Exploder and When I got under to look at it, there was Trans fluid leaking out of the two pipes going to and from the radiator. The leak is coming from the pipes themselves, not the fittings. I was wondering what the quickest way to fix this would be...

i have a friend that hes a 93 isuzu rodeo automatic transmission 2wd. i have no clue where to look for help on this. the problem is he said that he was driving then came to a stop and when he tried to drive again the trans was slipping. after that it was a dead trans a shop told him that the...

My trans will not engage in reverse when cold. This condition never occurred when I was in SoCal or Las Vegas for 10 yrs. The ambient temp was always above 55 degrees. When I came to NJ in the last few months, as soon as the temp dropped below 35-40 degrees the trans won't go into reverse unless...

I may have some data for an age old question about transmission fluid changes and flushes for high mileage transmissions. I have heard from multiple sources that flushing will cause big problems for a high mileage transmission. My posting here is to warn you that even a small amount of new...

Hi. I've owned a 1994 Ford Ranger XL :rangergreen: for about a year now and put on over 10k miles since then, but have a transmission FLUID problem. The engine is a v-4 with 8 spark plugs, and an automatic transmission. There are 195,000 miles on it. PROBLEM: After the engine warms and...

I would like to say hello to every one on this forum. I was so happy to find out that there was a place for X's alike. I was recently a proud owner of an 86 ranger that my GF wanted gone so we could get something newer. So..... I found a 97 X Sport trac that a Buddie of mine had. It has zero...

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...

Result of grossly overtightening my transmission pan bolts.

I dont know what transmission I have other than its a 4x4 automatic n my 1994 Eddie Bauer Ex. WhenI get to about 20-25mph i stop accelerating and my engine revs like i was in nuetral. then it eventually shifts and almost immediately 30-35 mph it does that again. I tried some lucas oil brand...

Hello, I have a 1997 Explorer with the 5.0L and 4R70W tranny. Just lately, my 2nd gear started to slip at top end acceleration, like when i go to pass a car i floor it and it shifts to 2nd and it does nothing but slip around 3600RPM and up. Are my cluth packets worn out and its time for a...

1994 Ranger 4.0 4x4 My clutch blew after only two years this time and I think it was the slave (there is fluid everywhere). So now I am going to replace the whole clutch kit by myself, never having tried with Haynes Manual. Any suggestions from those who have done this (best way to drop the...

I drive a 91' auto with 171,000 with an AL4D (4 wheel drive). I have 3 problems (but they all may be the same): 1) About 2 months after installing a used transmission my transmission won't shift or something. It will shift late, be at 3000 rpms at 45mph and around 5000rpms at 70. After...

Hey guys, This actually isn't a new problem, but a problem that I've had since my purchase of this 06' EB V8 in December, however it's progressivley gotten worse. It's still under warranty (factory until October 09, and then CPO thereafter) however I have taken it in for this problem already...

Hi, We've got an Aerostar 93 XLT with an explorer 93 V6 4.0 engine build in. The gearbox-stuff is an A4LD with an E-4WD. The car drives backwards without a problem, but when we go forwards, it drives for maybe 10-15 metres and than stops. If we wait about 20 seconds and then drive forwards...

I got this 1992 ford explorer two years ago from an uncle of mine who had no problems with the transmission. Im pretty sure he had said someone had done some work to it at some point as well.... During the first year that I had it, the transmission would shift up into what I believe is 5th...

Hello everyone. I am extremely new here (approx 1 hour) but the reason i joined is due to a problem i had tonight with my explorer. I have been to this site many many times before seeking information and i have found what i am looking for every time, until now. :( Here's the problem...
