Hello All!
I am back again with the same sport trac from this thread Found Parts in oil pan...timing chain guide?
Everyone was very helpful with that project to be sure! The owner called me today, said she had a hard time getting it out of park (I am thinking it is not related as her driveway is very steep) then she drove it to get gas. On the way it was fine until she got almost to the pump and it would not respond to increased throttle and just basically crawled if it moved at all. She got gas and headed on to the store she said....It was ok at first then did the same thing, the car never got up to speed and only crawled along. She was calling me and telling me she was headed to walmart and I said I would be right up. Had her other car in the garage, I was done with it, so my wife and I went up to give her her van and maybe drive the sport trac home.
Well the truck will not move. No lights on dash. truck starts and runs fine. Fluid is at the perfect level and not burnt or burnt etc, at least not to me. I looked for wire issues under it, linkage etc, and for a quick check all looked ok. I tried to drive it several times, but it would not move much, only slightly.
I read about this worn servo bore on these transmissions. The symptoms listed here Symptoms & Solution are similar but not exactly the same... BUT... I have not been driving this vehicle, so it could have other symptoms that I have not been told about...
So I am wondering if this thing is toast, and it needs a trans. If that is the case do I suggest that to her? I have looked for vehicles like this of the same year and they are out there from 1500 to 5000 bucks. Have not tried a junk yard yet for the trans, which I think it the 5r55? type... Could it be the servo bore is the problem?
Thanks for any and all suggestions and or ideas, or other things to look for to attempt to fix this.
The truck still looks good... and runs great... I think it has 200k on it... I thought it was more but she said 200 so...
