2004 Explorer 4.0 XLT transmission problems

[kappy3]

Is anyone having transmission problems with their 2004? I have had PCM updated and transmission solenoid replaced but now I am out of warranty. I only have 28,000 miles on mine and baby the explorer. I am worried because it hesitates when shifting from second to third gear. Let me Know Chris

Welcome to this forum! Check the fluid level. It might be low. You might want to replace the fluid, and filter.

Check the sticky thread in the transmission section called the 5R55W fluid fill.
