Hello newbe here, my 94' hesitates going into drive, did yours do that before you changed the modulator?
 






Great writeup here. I didn't even know about the access panel until i read this sticky........Thanks for the site too..
 






OK did that

Great job. I drilled a hole in the side of the tunnel and it made it quick to access the 10mm bolt.
The modulator worked fine it was great fix. UNTIL was 1/2 way home then slipped and slipped until it wouldn't go at all and it was very hot. Help:(:roll:

1992 Navajo LX 4x4 A4DL 104000 miles auto hubs and push button 4x4.

I didn't see much fluid when I pulled the old modulator but it was low on fluid. I add a quart of Lucus which put it a little over. Man I WAS so happy with my new ride too.
 












Works when fluid is cool

pulled it home fluid was cooking hot! All so over fill. This AM itgoes into gear and reverse.

Maybe the fluid was cooked before I got it and it needs changed now ???
 












Access panel in 94 Ranger?

Hello!

Will I find that access panel in a 1994 Ford Ranger XL (3.0L)?

Thanks in advance!
 






Udog, I wasn't sure if the panel was there or not on my '93 explorer (well, I assumed it might be but wanted to be sure). I was able to press on the carpet and verified it's there because it's easily noticeable. I could follow it all the way around.

Haven't done the job yet, but going to as soon as I get brave enough to take out my seats and console and peel up this 20 year old carpet.
 






Transmission Module replacement. 1994 Explorer

Just changed fluid,filter and gasket and want to put in a new module. Looking at this post it seem like quite a hassle. I could not see the png images that were put up. Is there a way to show them or convert to jpg?
Thanks.

hey sorry about the pics... i made them public in picasa now, so hopefully they'll be visible to everyone. i'm glad some had success with removing the crossbeam, but i was inexperienced, so i didn't want to mess with that.

edit: changed the pics to .jpg on flickr.
 






what if my tranny still wont shift good even after i changed this?
what else could be the problem?
 






I just replaced my modulator a few days ago. I didn't even know where it was until I found this thread. All I did was pull out my center console, and pull both of my front seats as far back as they would go. I was able to slide my carpet out from underneath all of the trim panels and just pulled it back and let it lay across my seats. Although I had to lay on the carpet to keep it out of my way I was able to remove the access panel easily. I also found that it was easier for me to lay across my driver's seat in order to reach everything, as I am right handed.

I hope this information helps make the job easier for someone.
 






thanks for this post, big help.
my '94 ranger had a rotten tailpipe flange which had to tbe replaced (I could write up a post on that job what a biatch) and while up on the stands I dropped the pan for fluid/filter change also and located the occasional 'drip' of fluid which was the o-ring of the moddy shriveled up so replaced it also since the cats were off.
there is an allen screw in the center - it must be an adjuster screw, does anyone have an idea of specs?
the old one had a slotted screw which was run down below flush - maybe it had been adjusted to that? shifts are a bit delayed - the revs climb up some before it shifts in 'd' or 'od'. but reverse and low are dead on?
