transmission

The transmission had no problems before servicing. After servicing, it is slow to engage after coming to a stop or coasting down to a lower gear, there is a delay engaging. After stopping it needs to hit 1800 rpm to engage and does so harder than normal. You can bring the rpms up slowly to about...

I have a 07 XLT 4.0L V6 with the 55R5S transmission (117k miles).it does have the HD tow package. the VIN states its build date was 8/12/06. Apparently that matters as you may have a good or bad transmission depending on the build date. I have been reading all the threads on here saying that...

Hello All, I have a 16 Explorer with 36k on it. Since about 25k, I have been experiencing my transmission occasionally slamming into gear. When slowly accelerating from a red light/stop sign, mostly when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear, engine will go from 2-3k rpm to about 5-6k rpm...

Hey guys, first post here, my girlfriend has a 98 4.0l explorer and its not a bad truck but the trans does have some issues. I noticed while driving it it did seem to skip, or slip a little usually while driving up a hill but sometimes youd feel in on flatland. It almost felt like an engine miss...

I have the 4.0 SOHC with the Automatic transmission and I check the fluid level on the dipstick and its about a quart or two low. I looked up on youtube on how to add transmission fluid to it and you have to go under the car and etc. Is it possible that I can put a funnel on the dip stick hole...

Hello, My 98 Explorer will not shift into gear, including reverse. If the engine is not running, I can easily shift into all gears. Once I'm in gear with the engine off, and then start the engine (I tried this with first gear and reverse on my driveway), I can go, yet it's as if once the...

Hey guys, I'm new to this so please bare with me. My wife and I recently purchased a 99 explorer sport for our daughters first vehicle. Shortly after we bought it man did the ol' problems arrive. Started off with the transmission feeling alittle jumpy and unsmooth and a loss of power. I had it...

Hey guys, Currently have a truck in the shop that we've been having some serious trouble with. This truck came in for a tranny rebuild from a Ford dealership because it wasn't working quite right. Once its all together we take it for a drive and doesn't seem to want to shift that well and...

My 93 Explorer has always leaked transmission fluid. Not sure what gasket or seal it is but it’s between the engine and transmission. This week I took it to the dunes, it was really fun the explorers drove great! And one part in the sand it was a bit deeper and I tried to get out. My brother...

2002 Explorer XLT 4.0L 4X4 5R55S Trans 1- Didn't want to shift into 2nd without letting off gas. 2- Wouldn't stay in overdrive. 3- O/D lights flashing. 4- P0775 Code. Decided to attempt the servo bore fix. Also changed fluid/filter. Also reset computer. All seemed like back to...

Hey folks. I have an '08 Explorer that I purchased new. It has 140,000 miles at present. I am admittedly not a "car guy" but I have had the oil changed every 3,000 miles and tried to be diligent about getting things fixed as needed. As a result, the truck has been good to me thus far. Here's the...

For reference: 2004 explorer NBX, 4x4, 180K, limited slip, 3.73. I am the second owner - the original an ex ford tech who took very good care. No rust. To start with, and eliminate these as possible future suggestions, I just replaced both rear wheel bearings and rotors (Timken), all 4 struts...

I've got a 95 XLT 4.0 OHV 4x2, and the O/D light is blinking and it won't shift into overdrive. It didn't start flashing the O/D off light until one day when I was pulling a trailer with only a push lawn mower in it. (nothing heavy) I figured that connecting the trailer to the plug that supplies...

Hello, I just bought a 2002 Explorer 4.0 sohc built 2/02 and trans was bad and I know it came with a 5r55w. I pulled the trans to build it and it is a 5r55s in it now, My guess and they just got one from the junk yard and throwed in it. My question with out knowing how it worked before this one...

Stock 94 Explorer XLT, It started making a noise at idle in gear. Sort of a Morse Code sound, basically intermittent buzzing/humming. What could this be? (It's also always whined in first gear) Also, I'm going to be pulling a trailer several times a week with a mower on it this summer. Yes, I...

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer RWD 4.0L v6. This problem started very suddenly. Here's the description of my problems right now... I cannot use reverse. Shifting in to 'R' will jerk the vehicle back just slightly. It feels like it just barely catches if I really rev it up, but hardly enough to...

Hello, just swapped a bad tranny out of my 1992 xlt for a good one out of my '91. Finally got the whole thing in the '92, but when I go to start it I just hear a click, I believe from the starter solenoid making the click. I leave the key at the on position and pop the hood only to find smoke...

Hey guys, new member here. I started out with an 04 Mountaineer 4.6 with an AWD problem and recently sold that for a 03 4.0 Explorer that was in much better shape. The truck currently has 165k miles on it and within the last week has started giving me a pretty worrisome transmission problem...

Last week my OD light started flashing, and I noticed she revs around 500 rpm higher than usual to get up any gear. I used a scanner to pull the code and unfortunately found a P0741. (I remember hearing/feeling a very very light thunk when it came on for the first time, but never since) Since...

Hey, I've recently purchased a 97 Explorer Sport with a manual transmission and 4wd. However, the manual transmission needs to be replaced. What I want to know is if I can go to a junkyard and rip out a manual transmission from a RWD Explorer and use it in my 4x4 Explorer. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I experienced this today in the morning with my explorer. Winter seasons approaching here in Alberta, and we've had our first snowfall of the year, today early in the morning I went to start my car and everything went normal until I started hitting the road, I felt a very lazy gear...

I do not recommend buying anything from carmonkeys.com. Please read the following: I purchased a 5R55E transmission from Car Monkeys. The transmission is advertised as: “used, OEM, Tested (transmission run), complete assembly to include a torque converter and oil pan”. It came with a 5...
