- 2004 Explorer XLT V8 4x4
About a month ago I bought a 2004 Explorer XLT 4x4 V8 with about 86K miles. I have put about 2000 miles on it since I bought it. About a week ago it started doing the dreaded 2-3 shift delay that has been mentioned on here. I have noticed when it is cold, it shifts fine. After it warms up is when the delay happens, and even then it is only about 75% of the time. Now, should I have the trans fluid flushed? Drop the pan, change the filter and refill with new fluid? Should I use royal purple? Change servo? Modulator?? Should I just baby it while saving money for a rebuild/replacement? Fluid/filter change is something I can do but I have never rebuilt a trans so that would be over my head.
