Has anybody tried this tranny fix?

[jim1019]

So, had my mechanic and the Ford dealership tell me the same likely problem, the servo bore. Who would have a hardened steel shaft going into a soft aluminum housing?? NUTS!! Anyway, the guy at the dealership tlod me outside (if he told me inside, maybe they would fire him!) about this product and that he has heard good things about it. Here's the link:

Just wondering if anybody here has tried it and the results that they got. My mechanic (a Lee Myles tranny shop actually) told me about boring out and resleeving the servo bore, but this seems like it would be a LOT simpler, but not sure if it would really solve the problem. My 02 Explorer has 120K on it and this is the first tranny problem I've encountered. There have been numerous electrical problems, but this is the 1st mechanical issue. I love my Explorer and I really need it to last another few years.

Thanks in advance for the replies!!

i had the modified servo done to my 03 xlt. worked like a charm. 3 months now and no more shift problems. Just a word of caution, it might not be the servo. bands could be broken and no servo replacement will fix that. i also read a lot of posts here that point to the soledoid pack. I only replaced the OD servo, had a local shop do it. I would start there as you will eventually need it anyway since these trannys are famous for failing inthis area.

check out the tranny forum here. many posts on all these issues.

Here's where I am hopefull. I have NO other shifting issues at this time. Actually, can't say that. It does have slight surging at around 30mph, and I have had 2 mechanics tell me that's because it can't lock up going into o/d. So I'm thinking that this might solve my problem.
