History:
Bought a '96 Explorer 4.0 4x4 with a 4R55E transmission, the car only moves in reverse.
Bought a complete donor car and mounted the transmission over from this. This transmission sets DTC P0756 after a test ride.
I delete the code and take the car for a drive. I notice the transmission hesitates to shift to second gear, and soon the OD lamp starts to flash.
A friend then adviced me to check the band adjustment, even borrowed special tool for this.
The OD band was ok, but when tightening the bolt for the intermediate band, the bolt just disappears inwards, without any resistance.
The pan and the valve body is removed, I soon realize that the "bracket" (see picture below) has loosened from the band, and that is why I can't get the intermediate band tightened up, and now there is now way around a total rebuild.
If someone could recommend a shop to buy a total rebuild kit for this transmission, and also tell me if there is other things I should do or upgrade when doing this rebuild, it would be most appreciated.
