As a long time reader, thanks for the excellent posts and the help you experienced and knowledgeable posters have given us Explorer owners over the years. I've learned so much about my beloved ride and saved so many $$$.
2003 Limited, 4.6, 5R55W, 200,000 KM's. I had the overdrive servo break on me and just replaced both of them with the o-ring fix, and it works and shifts fine...just like it always did. Fluid was not burnt at all, just "normal" for that mileage. Did a fluid and filter change (got about 5.5L out). Adjusted the bands to spec as well. I've got about 600 kms on it since the fix.
Today, after a hard brake for a stupid driver, the trans did not shift into 1st, rather seemed to be in neutral. Selecting 2nd gear, it moved fine and everything works. I started watching for this, and noticed that under "normal" braking (deceleration) the trans finds first normally. Under hard deceleration, it can't seem to find it. It seems to be in no gear at all.
Any ideas?? Valve body sticking perhaps? Bands not adjusted right? Hopefully one of you "smart" people can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
