- 2002 Explorer
Hey everyone new to the forum, I have a 5r55w 2002 explorer and am in Canada.
Been reading this forum for a few days now trying to figure out where to start.
At first the explorer wasn't going in reverse at all, just rev'd without movement and it seemed like all the gears were slipping and hard to get into.
I decided to tighten the two bands up and it seemed to have fixed the reverse great and the forward gears somewhat.
starting in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd it will go, but when driving it seems to have to go upto 4500 to get into 4th and the o/d is still flashing and when you switch into od it just revs. Also I am getting error P1700.
I've been reading and it seems most have changed either torque converter or solenoid.
Im just wondering where a good place to start might be, I have also read about those machined servos you can change that have been successul. Any help appreciated?
Thanks
