- 1994 Explorer XLT
Good afternoon guys.
I've got a 1994 Explorer XLT who's transmission failed about a month ago. The backstory is it overheated in August and lost a bunch of fluid but ran fine after a top-off until November. In late November a trans cooling line leaked right before the intercooler. I repaired that, and all was well until mid December when the transmission crapped out. I was leaving work (it ran fine in the AM), and it slipped out of first and started rolling backwards into the lot.
Right now it'll go into gear and move a little bit, but has almost no torque. It's the same with reverse or low.
I'm trying to figure out what on the transmission has failed so I can determine if it's worth repairing or replacing the transmission entirely. I tried searching but my google-fu is weak, and I couldn't find any posts with a similar problem.
Thank you
