    Supposed to feel transmission shifting?

    On my '05 Explorer, when driving and steadily accelerating, I can feel when the transmission shifts from say, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, etc. How many gears does this thing have to shift to? Are you supposed to feel it shift? It doesn't feel like a clunk, a bang, a grind; nothing like that. I...

    1999 Explorer Transfer Case Leak

    Hi, I have a 1999 Explorer V8 AWD and I have a leak coming from the front of the transfer case. I was hoping to get some ideas on what the issue could be and how I would go about fixing it. Would there be any harm in just topping off the oil every once in a while and just let it leak? I've also...

    2003 Explorer Transmission Problem AFTER replacing solenoid

    My vehicle is in the shop as I write this. The shop has been in business for decades, so I believe they know their craft. They replaced the solenoid pack and took my vehicle for a test drive, discovered a leak, but no other issues. After fixing the leak, they took another test drive, where the...

    2003 explorer transmission will not engage. Goes in and out of park no problem.

    Transmission made no bad noises. Just one day, I went out and it would no go. Shifts easily to any gear but does not engage. I added a little fluid and it went one time, but now I think that was a fluke. I checked and replaced the fluid and filter and even the solenoid pack in the transmission...

    5R55E, Tranny Guys are Stumped, help?

    5r55e in a 1995 Explorer XLT 4x So the short version of a long story is I paid a small fortune to have my tranny rebuilt after it burned up. I had them put in a shift kit, aux cooler, and HD clutches. Basically I asked them to 'give me the works'... and it wasn't cheap. About 13 months later...

    Explorer makes this winding/clanking sound when coasting.

    I've had my 93 explorer for almost about a year now. And it has always made this winding/clanking sound (don't really know how to explain it) when I'm coasting down a road. When I give it gas, it goes away immediately. And it doesn't always make that sound when coasting. Honestly, I've never...

    Quick Question regarding OD band/Servo issue in 5R55W tranny

    I have narrowed down my transmission problem to either a bad OD servo, or a broken band. I am sure there is servo bore wear, as it has 135,000 miles. Last night on the way home from work, I lost OD in a stiff headwind. I was going highway speeds (65) and the tach was at 3000 instead of 2000...
