How many of you have replaced your Auto trans?

[boominXplorer]

clarkkent... What did you do??????????? 5.0 trannys have a high reputation. You neutral drop it or something?

 

[X~FACTOR]

No tranny problem yet but then again I only have 59K miles on mine. :knock on wood:

 

[Tat2dExploder]

went thru 4 in my 95, with 175000 on it... 5th was a swap for a 5 speed

 

[PUR PONY]

I still have my original tranny at 101K miles.

Installed a stage 4 shift kit at 50K miles.

Changed filter and switched to Amosil synthetic at 50K miles


this is in my 96 V-8 Supercharged (425hp) AWD Explorer

thiing shifts like the day I drove it off the lot (except for the firmer shift from the shift kit)




Also both my moms and my dads X (96 V-6 and 98 V-8) both have around 80K miles with ZERO problems with the trannys.... filter changed at 40K on both with Amsoil

Replaced mine at 70,ooomi. Mucho $$$. Had it replaced at a Ford dealer. Big mistake!

 

[DeRocha]

121k on my original '93 with no sign of trouble. I Flush the fluid every 30K-35K in hopes it will make the transmission last. So far So Good.

 

[greenhornet3147]

yup

I just replaced mine at 83,000 broke the band for 2nd gear. AA beep beep MCO $1891.15 muffler is going to need replacing I'm going to move the converter while I'm at it.

 

[jeremism30]

No problems yet 145,000. Standard size tires though.

 

[SnowExploder]

I had to have mine re-built at about 163,000 miles. Still shifts really slow into reverse....

 

[lifeguard379]

lost mine at 107000 in a mud pit

 

[Rodeo Joe]

Replaced it twice before 90K miles. The first time was under extended warranty. Warranty company would only pay to have the dealer rebuild it, not put in a Ford rebuilt tranny. That lasted about 30K miles and it was only gauranteed for a year. Have a Greenleaf unit in there now, so far so good.

i replaced mine last year. fried lots of parts. also spent a fortune on it. now lookin for a 5 speed. SnowExploder mine shifts slow into rev. also.

 

[Stic-o]

went out at 113k or so. 3rd gear was just puzzle pieces. $2600 for a new one from Ford!

 

[410Fortune]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh what a question.
Do I check off 4 or what? Let me count...one A4LD, dropped it for front pump seal, blew it up. Another A4LD....was still good when I pulled it, is now in Rangerx's wifes Explorer and working well. It was built by Transwerx in CA so it should hold up,

Now I have a 4r70w in there and its working fine, at the moment, I had some "control/wiring issues" hopefully I wont have to drop this auto trans. I went through 3 5 speeds before I went auto as well...

 

[twheats]

My 93 went at 134,000. My 98 is holding strong at 86,000.

 

[thewishkah]

Well im on what will hopefully be lucky number 5 at 135k. This time I had the radiator lines cut out and put on its own heavey duty large tranny cooler have updated planetarys,shift kit, and its been pretty good so far. *fingers crossed*

 

[SoBeLover]

Mine is in the process of being replaced. The guy at my job that's doing it when he drained the transmission said the fluid was a thick metallic sludge. He told me the transmission was probably never serviced by the 2 previous owners. He also told me he was surprised I was able to drive it as long as I did before it crapped out on me

 

[95Xsport]

Rebuilt at 145k. After 60k miles now, going strong

 

[96limitedX]

stock 96 was replaced with a brand new one by the ford dealer at 80k miles about 3 years ago..now with 87k on it..still working great.

 

[Ian's 91ex]
