transmission

i have 2 problems with my 2008 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD. 1.) when I try to start it, the engine hesitates for like 5 seconds then starts. Just 2 days ago I changed my EGR valve cause my check engine light was on, I thought this would solve the problem but it didn't. Any ideas what it could be...

I have a 05 sport trac and I had the transmission changed and now I dont have reverse. I'm looking to see if I could get any feedback from this forum. The trans that was put in the trac had all gears plus reverse before it was put in the 05 sport trac.

The situation that I am having with my 07 explorer is in the transmission. The trans will run through all gears while in drive, if I put the trans in neutral or reverse it will not ingage in neither, the trans will stay in the drive gear although it will not move when you press the gas pedal...

Hi eveeyone, just joined the site and am hoping for a little help with my issue... 2006 explorer 4x4 4.0L sohc... Im doing an engine swap, old engine is out and new (used) engine it in on the mounts and 4 bell housing started. All bolts are loose to allow for some wiggle room. I thought i may...

Replaced the evaporator on my 1991 XLT, Also suction and pressure lines. AC is blowing cold (Yay!). But now the truck won't shift out of second. I feel like I have to have bumped something loose. Probably a vacuum hose maybe electrical. Thanks in advance! George

First, let me say that I've found the posts of others to be extremely helpful and I want to say thanks. So, I just bought a 2008 Mountaineer with the 4.6L 3v V8. (My '05 Ex was going to die.) Not long after buying it, I noticed the dreaded 45-55 mph transmission shudder. Of course, no check...

I couldnt find any threads that mention these problems, so here goes a shot to get this problem resolved... this is about my father in law's pickup. a 2003 ford ranger- it has a V6 engine, and automatic transmission...... he says the "OD off" light comes on. and also, it wont move forward when...

I searched the forum for a few days but couldn't find the exact same issue as my 2001 ford explorer. 1. When I start it from a completely cool status (meaning being parked for a few hours), it works fine, no any issues at all. 2. After driving for around 20-30 minutes (locally), suddenly...

So I was driving and my check transmission light came on. Everything was shifting like normal so I figured it might just be a glitch since I had to replace my battery. Well when I get to the garage they run a bunch of tests on it and it's my torque converter. I found someone to replace it but he...

I recently installed a used transmission in my 1994 Frord Explorer XLT and after 3,000 miles I checked the fluid and it was brown. I was wondering what could cause this to happen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you. If you need any more information feel free to ask.

I have searched the transmission section without seeing an answer to this. So, if the information is in there, please post a link, not just "look at the sticky", because I already have. That said, if this hasn't been covered before, I'd be surprised. I had an overheating issue. Got a busted...

Ok so ive searched Google and the forums and I can't seem to find what I need. I did a Shelby spec 302 swap over the last few years and in turn also sealed in a Borg Warner T5 - my 1993 explorer was originally an a4ld. I'm trying to find the reverse light wires on a supposed 5pin plug and hook...

Hey all, I have a '94 4X4 with the A4 in it. It has started to give me some sort of transmission issue, and I'm prepping for a new one. I was at a stop light yesterday (following a friend to the mechanic, ironically) and as I started to let it creep forward in drive, it felt like I hit the...

So as I feared I had my transmission looked at and was told it needed replaced. I've used rockauto a ton in the past and was recommended that that's the best route for a new transmission also from someone on here. I have a 2004 XLS sport 4.0 4WD Vin w/K. Can someone tell me which exact one I...

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer with 67k miles on immaculate condition with the exception that I am now concerned about the transmission. For the last few days when it hits about 3000rpm and shifts from 1st to 2nd I hear a grinding noise for a split second. It is noticeable worse when accelerating...

I've got a 2006 Ford Explorer and recently began having the following intermittent issue: After starting my vehicle, I shift to reverse and it will not engage the transmission. I then shifted to Neutral then reverse then drive and it works fine. It drives fine and I do not see any issues as...

My wife has a 2015 EX and for about 10 months we have noticed a pronounced shift (bump/harsh shift) in the transmission. It seems to happen most between 30-40 mph on acceleration from a yield/stop sign or even red lights that turn green. A few times there has been a bump/harsh shift when braking...

Hello, I have a 2002 Explorer XLT with the 5R55W trans and am about to delve into replacing the trans filter and fluid. I was curious if any of you fine people know what type/size of tool is required to remove the trans fill plug. At first glace to me it looks like an Allen key (probably...

My 2004 Explorer has a lot of trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I used to have the error code P0774 which was an issue with the Shift Solenoid E. I am still having issues shifting, but I am no longer getting P0774, I now am getting the code P0775 which is solenoid B. My mechanic wants to...

I have a 94 explorer xlt it has 189000 miles on it the trans wont shift out of 1st gear.. i replaced the shift solenoid thinking that was the problem but it still wont shift.......

I need to replace my 5r55W/s transmission in my 2005 XLT. I am currnetly looking at a quick fix by swapping in a Junik Yard tranny but I am considering either getting my existing re-manufactured or buying a re-manufactured tranny. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy or what to...

I have a 98 explorer sport, and while driving, my car doesn't seem to go above 3rd gear. Driving on the street is fine, i can still accellerate fine to well above the speed limit, but when Im on the freeway, the higher gears don't engage, and the revs will just keep going higher as I accelerate...

Hello all, I have a 2005 XLT 4x4 4.6l, 152k. I've had it about a year, and last winter maybe twice when it was very very cold when put into drive within 15 seconds i would lose the drive and be in a neutral state. It would renengage very soon after. Fast forward to last week. I have...

Hi, I own a 2002 EB edition explorer. It has 141k miles on it. Is it worth putting a transmission cooler on soon to prevent a transmission failure? Or is it too late?

I recently swapped a 2004 SOHC for a 1998 SOHC. The 2004 motor blew up from the previous owner and the best block i could find was out of a 1998. When accelerating i am hearing a whirring noise coming from what sounds to be the front of a 2WD truck. I know that there are a few possibilities...

I read a couple similar posts but before I get under the car and start spilling transmission fluid all over myself, I'm hoping I can find out exactly what I need to do first! I bought a 96 Explorer with a bad motor, since mine had been wrecked I had a good motor. Put in the motor and it's...

I recently dropped my transmission to replace the clutch. I am usually very good about labeling my bolts, but idiot me piled all the tranny bolts (one-at-a-time) on the table. I then noticed, a day later, that there are 5 shorter bolts (appx. 2.75 inches in length) and 3 longer bolts (appx. 3.25...

Hello everyone, It's been a couple months since I've been on the forum, but my 2001 Sport finally decided not to start today, and I want to go through it's past misbehavior to try and solve my problem, and help others who may have the same problem. To start off, it's a clean Georgia 2001...

I have a 1997 Ranger with the 2.3 and the 4r44e transmission. The transmission just started slamming between 1st and 2nd gear. Up and down. The speedometer quit working at the same time. I've changed both speed sensors, the one in the rear end and the one on the transmission itself, and also...

Good morning Everyone! This is my first thread on here so if ive posted in the wrong area please forgive me. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer Limited Edition 6 cylinder 4.0. The transmission keeps pushing the front seal out. I bought the truck a few months back from a guy who said the tranny...

I just had a 5r55e pulled out of '97 4.0 SOHC 4x4 explorer put in my explorer, same specs except a year newer (98). The old trans was destroyed and the used one is fine, however there are a host of electrical issues since i drove it home from the shop last night. From a complete stop it seems to...

Does the 6R60 transmission have any "anti-damage" safeguards built in to it? I recently solved a misfiring issue with my 08 4.6 LTD (bad coil). When it would act up and miss was under heavy load. Like stomping on the accelerator to pass a slower vehicle. Or going up a steep hill and having...

When I'm in park on any bit of a hill my truck is rolling very slowly, whether I'm facing up or downhill does not matter. It is an 01 explorer 5.0---I currently have the front driveline out but I don't see why that would change anything. it is not clicking or making any noise, not jerking or...

1997 Explorer E.B. V6 4x4. What are easy ways to tell if the problem IS the transmission and not something different like electrical, or some linking component or a switch somewhere. I can't get information anywhere to diagnose what's wrong with my rig so I'll start with the transmission. If the...

Heya everyone! I wanted to ask other members of their opinion of my problem. My rig is a 1999 Explorer AWD 5.0L. I believe that the pump has failed or maybe the torque converter went bad. I spent a couple hours digging around the forums and on google but have not found the exact same...

I need to no what transmissions I can use in my 2007 Explorer XLT 4.0L, 2wd Auto 5r55s. Is there other year models of the 5r55s that I can use. Will I have to reflash the PCM? Thanks! Steve:salute:

Hey Guys! I'm hoping someone here may be able to answer my questions. First about my truck I have a 97 ranger 4.0L 4x4 automatic extended cab. I've been having some problems with the transmission. I've read the 5r55e valve body rebuild diary and I ordered a new valve body from central...
