transmission

Hey guys and gals, I am brand new to the forum and new owner of an older explorer, my first Ford. I bought a 1999 Explorer 2 door 4x4 from my step father out of necessity and lack of options (nothing to do with make and model, just older than I would have liked). I am a single father who...

Hey I got another used tranny with less than half the km's than the last one and installed this weekend the correct way and now it's running. I put fluid in but only 3.5l in the pan plug and 1/4-1/2l in t/c now it seems like it's not pumping cause it still spilling out after running for 10-15...

First off I know I probably shouldn't be taking my 2004 Ford Explorer to jiffy lube for a transmission flush. I usually do my own work if it's simple but since these are closed systems I didn't have the equipment to do it. Anyway a couple weeks after I had his done I noticed a bad transmission...

2002 Explorer. Just finished putting rebuilt trans. in (purchased from auto store) test drove, gears slipping a little. Added more trans. fluid test drove again and gears are slipping worse and now engine light on and O/D flashing. Not sure if fluid is still low or if overfilled. Any suggestions.

Hi Everyone, I've been looking through the forums and google for a OBD2 scanner that will read Ford's transmission codes, preferably via Wi-Fi or bluetooth. There are tons of scanners on the market and I wanted to get your feedback about a scanner you've actually used and preferably actually...

Hey there Explorer community, i'm in a conundrum and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I drive a 2004 Ford Explorer 4wd 4.0L Vin K 64,000 Miles, and I know explorers sometimes get a bad wrap but for the most part I love this car. This car has always leaked a few drops of...

I own a 1998 Explorer Sport, and Im getting a leak from the rubber gasket looking thing where the transmission meets the driveshaft. Its coming from what i think is called the weep hole? Im hoping for a solution so i can quit buying transmission fluid I realized i posted this in the wrong...

Quite an experience I just had. Driving up the highway, going about 65 mph, got a huge bang, then nothing but rattling vibration sounds. Starts slowing down fast. Nice burning smell of tranny fluid too. Manage to limp it off the highway just to be safe, pulled off on a road just off the...

Just like everything else... you gotta start somewhere to learn the ropes, right?! Well, I just bought my first car. It's a '92 Ford Explorer Sport (2 door, 4.0L v6). I believe it's a RWD? (Correct me or confirm this please) There's a few problems with it so far and I want to learn how to...

Hi all, I'm back after a long break. I used to have an '02 which I loved, but ultimately had to get rid of. I'm now looking at replacing my current SUV with something else, and was looking at an '06 V8 with 83k miles. It's about 11k and has a clean history, but not a lot of service records...

05 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 with 5r55s transmission. I rebuilt the transmission. Replaced bands, frictions, steels, servos, installed shift correction kit, etc, etc. Buttoned everything up today and backed it off of the ramps. Put it in drive and didn't have any power. Dropped it in to 1 and...

Diagnosis This thread started out as a diagnosis challenge, but has evolved into a rebuild guide of sorts. The rebuild section begins on the 2nd page, once I determined removal was necessary (i.e. not band adjustment or valve body issue). It is not quite as detailed as Glacier's A4LD rebuild...

Hi all, I just did some recent inspection into a rattle that is making a lot of noise in the front end. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT AWD. I jacked it up and looked under the front end area and found a few concerns. 1. The shop replaced the sway bar end links a month or two ago but never...

Ok so i just bought a 1995 explorer and they said 2nd gear was slipping and it was but not even 20miles later i was driving down the road and the speedometer started bouncing up and down And now, oh and i also forgot when i start it the buzzer starts dinging non stop sometime a minute or 10...

Hi All: First, lemme say what an awesome forum this is. I've spent the last three days reading intently and learning a ton. Thanx! My GF has a 03 Explorer with a 5R55S tranny; about 180K miles. Over the past four months or so, I've noticed a shudder at about 55-60mph that occurs...

I have an automatic 1999 explorer and have had the transmission rebuilt 3 times in 2 years. Its been doing fine for about 6 months until now. I'm driving down the road staying at the same speed and the car jumps from however many rpm's it was at to about 3000 rpm's over that. Then it'll go back...

For a while now, my 02 mounty when driving normally shifts really irregularly. From 1st to 2nd it revs like its going to shift, but takes a few seconds before it actually does (its almost like it can't make its mind up what its going to do(LOL)). It does this randomly on a somewhat regular bases...

I have a 91 Ford Explorer and I am having a bear of a time trying to fix my transmission. I am on a very tight budget and can't afford to drop the truck off at AAMCO or any other shop to have them diagnose or repair. I have an A4LD transmission with about 120k on it. Here are the symptoms...

Hey guys, got an 03 ranger edge supercab. The Tranny is slipping in overdrive...its more of a jerk at high speed. I searched on fordparts.com by vin number and they say I've got the 5R55E. My question is can I use slightly different trannies like a 4r55e, a 5r44e, or a 5r55e from a newer ranger...

Hey guys, new to this so I'll get right to it. 2004 ford explorer 4×4 v6. Last night I was driving home and after stopping at a stop sign I hit the gas and my explorer jerked hard and then started on foward. and for the rest of the ride home it had a constant forward jerking feeling about every...

2004 sport XLT 4.0 - 180,000 the transmission started acting up. Initially it slipped and I got the blinking o/d light like so many others. With some experimentation, I found that I could drive the tuck fine as long as I operated it manually. I would have to start off in low with the o/d...

Anyone who understands or knows the functions of the 5r55e trans please help. Where can I find what the steps or functions of the trans when it goes through gears, I have a 99 explorer 4.0 4x4 with just over 103000 miles and the problem with the trans is when I pull out it shifts fine from...

2004 Ford Explorer XLT 4x2 4.0 Engine 5R55S Transmission Last June I had my transmission rebuilt at approx 147,000 and now with approx 159, 000 I am down again. The system which brought me back to the shop was the o/d light flashing in addition to the check engine light. When the pan...

Hi, I have a 1996 Ford Explorer and the transmission is stuck in drive. The gear selector moves, but the transmission doesn't respond. It is drive no matter where you put the selector. Still drives fine, all gears shift out. Please help!! I have been thinking it is a linkage/cable issue. Thanks...

I have a 02 Explorer with 196,000. I am the second owner and was told when I purchased the truck at 166,000 that the transmission was rebuilt at 155k. Recently I began having issues in extremely cold weather (below 10F) twice upon first starting out the truck acted as if I shifted into neutral...

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer with 4.0 engine. Just found out there is no transmission dipstick. I've learned how to check the transmission fluid, but would rather have a dipstick. Is there any way to modify it so that I can check transmission fluid from the top of the engine? I think this...

Hey this is my first problem post. Anyway, I have a 2000 Ford Explorer with a manual tranny and the 4.0L V6 (OHV). I have a problem where when I go from a stoplight it Jerks/Jumps when I let the clutch out. My brother told me it might be a glazed over flywheel, and my Dad told me it may be a...

I have also posted this in the transmission forums, but I am hoping I can reach some other people in this forum for some help on my issue. I rebuilt my transmission and now that it is installed every gear moves the vehicle forward. To read a more in depth explanation follow to my other post...

hey guys! when i accelerate from 45mph i'm in the 5th gear , about 1800RPM and the truck feels like there is someone bumping me from behind , and then if i downshift it to 4th gear and 2400RPM , nothing , everthing is back to normal for a time and then starts all over again , maybe 5-10...

My 98 Explorer will not disanage the lockup OD under load. As I push the throttle more, it finally downshifts but with big jerk, and then disengages. However, if I tap the break while pushing the throttle, all is good as the break forces the OD to unlock and down shifting is good. Here is the...

Hello everyone, I recently rebuilt the transmission on my 165k 2002 Ford Explorer, saving around $2000. I have taken videos on the entire process, and I have all the information needed. I will be updating this post as I edit the videos and upload them. I don't know how many people are...

My 1994 ford explorer is slipping. When I start it I put it in reverse (because thats how I leave) and I have to give it more gas and then it catches and jerks and then on the road and then slips again and again and then it'll stop after awhile.

I have been reading up on P0775 code and getting a lot of mixed ideas on a fix. So to start I have a 2005 Explorer XLT Sport 4x4. Transmission was overhauled almost one year ago witch included a new overdrive planetary, drum & band. Overheating caused the issue. Now I was driving around...

OK, so back story is I have a 92 explorer xlt. Was doing some mild offroading. Was in 4wheel drive if it matters.. My tranny starts slipping out of gear. Stupid me kept going till I found a turn around a mile or 2 down the dirt road, checked my transmission and it was empty. Dump all along the...

So recently my explorer lost reverse, no neutral. Trans fluid is full and cable is adjusted properly. After reading similar posts I am pretty sure I have a problem with my z link in the trans. If someone who knows/experienced this procedure please help me out with the following; 1) Can I...

'97 Explorer 2WD 130K mi Symptoms: 'typical 5R55E gasket symptoms' as I research this forum: dropping OD, then no 3rd, intermittent shifting of all gears for a few days my Daughter reports, but 'when it catches - it works fine' Expectation: I was hoping to find a crack/hole in the VB...

Hello forum members, I recently purchased a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT. I do know that I need to replace the transmission solenoid pack. I have seen prices from $200 up to $600 of course the latter is from the dealer. Does anybody have any credible sources where I can get a new or rebuilt...

Hi all - new posting to the forum although I've benefited over the years from your cumulative knowledge. I'm military, stationed in France, and have a transmission problem which, since Ford Explorers aren't sold here through Ford dealerships, is a huge PITA. The tale of the fight (some of this...
