Got a 93 explorer with some trans issues. My father left me plenty of manuals to reference such as haynes ford trans tech book, which i identified my trans as an AOD, even checked the factory sticker in the door jamb, Labeled the trans as T, so i'm pretty sure i have identified my trans correctly. The issue i'm having is starting in reverse, first, then the 1-2 shift. When i moved this from the previous owners place to mine, i put in roughly 12 quarts of ATF and attempted to hit the road. Noticed a bad leak from the trans seal, as well as a hard line leaking trans fluid on the front drivers side of the pan. I think this is for a vaccuum, but i cannot tell where it would go. To get it to shift i have to put the RPMS up to about 2500-3000, then let off and it slams in at about 2250, roughly in that area. Same thing for reverse and the 1-2 shift, Everything after that was smooth like a babys toosh, no slips or hard shifts nothing. but approx. 1.5 miles down the road when i pulled into my driveway, we were down about 8 quarts of ATF easy. The leak is bad, but does that explain the reverse, 1 and 1-2 shift problems? I'm just trying to get this fixed so my girlfriend can have a car for school. Anyone have any suggestions, or should i just rip the mother out and start the rebuild process?
