- 2002 Explorer
Dropped my 02 Explorer off to have the transmission rebuilt in 3 or four days. 3 Months later the guy wouldnt return my call so I showed up with trailer and picked it up. He said he had it apart three different times and it was "a ford" nightmare. Whatever. I took truck back up to pull the transmission out and bring it to someone else to rebuild. The first guy told me he does hundreds of these a year. Yeah right. When I got the truck back to the barn I noticed quite a few bolts laying on trailer. Looked under the truck and it appears there are many parts missing. I need some pictures of the underside to verify. Im looking behind the radius arms and there are two bolt holes on either side that now have no bolts, seems like there should be a crossmember here. Im looking at the crossmember that holds the transfer case up and there is one bolt on the passenger side and three on the driver, the other four are broke off in frame. There are two holes on the passenger side of the same crossmember that seem like there is supposed to be some sort of plastic clips that hold a shield in place. There are four studs on the back of the transfer case that have nothing on them, does something go here? There is two bellhousing bolts missing, 3 transfer case bolts and a heat shield bolt missing on the drivers side! Can someone post some pictures of what these pieces are supposed to look like. Just bought the truck with the tranny out of it and was trying to get it fixed, so Im not exactly sure what its supposed to look like underneath. Beware of :thumbdwn:INDIANAPOLIS TRANSMISSION:thumbdwn:, these guys are the ultimate hackmires. Kind of chapped my ass, kinda makes me laugh. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
