It appears my transmission went out going up one of the biggest hills around where I live. And behind me was a huge trail of smoke. The entire way up my transmission kept slipping over and over again, but it'd get back into gear. It finally made it all the way up and over, and I just coasted down the other side in neutral.
By the time I got it to my grandparents drive way, it no longer had any want to even move from a standstill, let alone up my grandparents hill up to their property. My grandpa ended up coming down and pulled my explorer up to his property with his tractor.
And that's where its been sitting for the past couple months now. Id love to get it back on the road so I could get it off his property.
But whenever you put it in gear and try revving it up to help it into gear, if it actually tries, the engine will bog down for a second and it'll just slip immediately out of gear. And it'll do this every time, no matter if you in reverse, drive, 2,1. Its the same reaction to every gear.
I took a video to show how its acting:
The interesting thing is that the transmission fluid doesn't smell burnt at all. Could it be the transfer case that has gone bad? Its only a 4x2, not a 4x4. And I usually miss call it as the torque converter. But if it is that, and Ive just mixed them up again, I apologize. I'm just unsure of what to do.
I changed the modulator valve about a year ago, but for a good several months it has a vacuum leak from where one of the plastic vacuum lines snapped. Could the modulator valve gone bad from the many months of it running with that vacuum leak?
Also, is there any other transmissions that would hook up to a 1993 4.0 v6 push-rod engine? Automatic and or manual?
