Hi all,
I've been a member since Feb '09, and I have no prior experience with ford trucks, so pls bear with me if I ask a dumb (aka newb) question.
I think I got a great deal on my truck, AWD '99 explorer E B 4.0 SOHC with 200K on the ODO, only paid $1000.00 . Body and engine are great, but I have a tranny issue; occasional hard shifting and stalling at stops (Like a manual shift with the clutch engaged) Auto scanner shows codes P0715 and P0743.
So far I've checked tranny fluid level and condition (seems good), replaced the alternator/regulator, sprayed the wiring harness connector with dialectric spray and re-seated, and visually inspected for damaged wires, none found. The P0743 code is gone (not sure what cleared it) but the P0715 remains, along with abrupt shifting, odd gear engagement, lack of downshifting and occasional stalling at complete stops.
Any suggestions on my next course of action? Is the Turbine/input speed sensor actually bad? How difficult a job to replace? I believe it is internal on my tranny... Any help appreciated!
