- 2001 Explorer sport
I read an old post on this forum and I didnt want to reply to it and drag up a 7 year old post, but i would like to know if this swap will work on my 01 explorer sport 2dr. My current transmission has the common 2-3 flare, o/d light flashing if i dont let off the gas to let it shift out of 2nd without revving up to 3500rpms, and probably some slippage, and i dont want to end up dumping alot of money into it with the extreme likely-hood of the problems recurring with this problematic transmission. Is it easily possible to adapt my vehicle to the 700r4? Is the swap worth it? I dont know anything about the 700r4 either, what are the pro's and cons of this swap? Will I be ok picking up a used one for 200-300 bucks or do i need a rebuilt one? is there a cheaper place to get the adapters? the only place ive found them it totals around $800 just for the 2 adapters needed. If i could pull off the whole thing for 600-700 bucks tops it would be fantastic, as im making about 900 a month right now minus expenses including a $200 car payment on said vehicle with cursed transmission. :scratch:
