- 1995 Explorer XLT
I am hoping someone can tell me if their 1995 explorer does the same thing:
When driving in OD (50MPH or above, fourth gear) I make note of the engine RPM. I then take my foot off the gas pedal and the engine RPM drops just a tad (maybe 100 RPM), telling me that engine braking is going on, and obviously TCC unlocks. In all other gears, (with gear shift in the D position) there is no engine braking (RPM drops significantly when taking foot off the gas) unless I press the O/D cancel button.
I have looked at the ATSG manual for the 4R44 / 4R55 (4 speed, which is mine) and it says no engine braking when in OD (fourth gear). This is contrary to what I am experiencing.
I also looked at the ATSG manual for the 5R55 for comparison (5 speed), and it noted that in OD (fifth gear) there is engine braking.
I am just trying to figure out whether there is a problem in my Tranny, or there may be a mis-print in the book.
Any help or experience would be appreciated.
