2002 Eddie Bauer AWD Explorer with the 4.0. Truck has a little over 100,000 miles on it. Approx 6 months ago acted like it was slipping a couple of hundred RPM going up a hill in OD, had a TC shudder and a 2-3 flare. Changed fluid & filter, adjusted bands (thanks to this site!!!) and all seamed fine.
Last night wife gets out on highway and after about 180miles, OD light blinks and she said it was slipping in OD going up a hill. She pulled over (good wife) and called asking what to do. I told her to go back home a baby it along the way. She did, and it didn't act up again on the way home.
This morning she took it in to an independant shop and the codes were PO735 and PO775. I think he said "5th ratio problem" and "circuit B pressure problem". He said he normally does not see these two together and is suspecting water from the A/C condensate drain may have gotten into the trans connector. (I have had a problem on this truck with the A/C condensate getting into the O2 connector so it seems plausible.) I asked if the water could cause a low pressure controll issue for the 5th gear and set off the "ratio" code. He is going to check it out and get back to me. OK "Glacier" and "Brooklyn" (or anyone else)...What say you?....(sorry for the long post)
EDIT - He also stated the tech drove the truck and it acted fine during the drive. I added that many here have had VB/solenoid problems and he said sometimes they can act up when they get warm but test out OK. He seems to be a pretty honest guy....or is that my wishful thinking...lol
