Hello,
while I was abroad I asked a friend to buy me a 4WD car. That was most probably not the best idea I ever had but now I can't change it anymore.
He got me a Ford Explorer 92 XLT. The speedometer is showing 40000 miles. I assume that I have to add 200000 miles to have the right milage. The car still runs but it has some problems. The most severe problem is the strange behavior at low speed (around 35 m/h). At that speed the car is jerking. I did take the car to a repair shop where a scan was done. The error code is 629 which means that the torque converter clutch solenoid has a problem. I would like to replace that. Thus, my question is: Where to get the part from and how to get to the part? I found some hints already on this website.
I called Ford and I got told that the part which has to be replaced would be $ 280. I cannot imagine that a simple solenoid should be that expensive. Does anyone know what Ford would replace in case I would bring the car to Ford?
Thanks for any help with the problem described
