New 2002 Ex owner

[christeymg]

Hello All. Just purchased a 2002 Explorer XLT as a 2nd car. Hoping to learn lots and pick up great tips here.

I have to say you guys are making me nervous about the transmission. This Ex has 146K on it and the original transmission. Hopefully I won't have any issues.

Welcome to this forum! When was the last time you replaced the fluid & filter?

With 146K on the clock you may be in good shape...I have heard the most of the trannys on our Ex's that fail happen before that.

So you may have a good one...good luck with her

I just picked her up yesterday so I haven't had time to do any services yet.

I'll put that on the list!
