I recently posted a thread called http://www.explorerforum.com/forums...-problems-any-help-would-be-a-godsend.464194/ where I was having a strange intermittent problem with my transmission shifting hard with a clunking sound and the engine sounding like it was revving up during the troubled times. Well instead of doing the smart thing and taking it to a shop i decided it had to be the transmission so went out and bought a rebuilt one from Autozone. Well after installing the transmission, guess what? That's right! Problems still there. I took it to a transmission shop today and he put a scanner on it and drove it but it never acted up one time.He could find no codes what so ever. After disconnecting the scanner he drove it one more time and lo and behold the the problem was there. He drove it for several minutes and said there was no doubt that something was messing with the shifting and not an engine misfire. He said he had no idea what it could be other than a sensor somewhere or the PCM. So there we have it. $2000.00in the the hole and still no cure. I'm looking for ideas. I did think of something today that peaked my interest. A couple of days ago I passed one of the little radar trailers that law enforcement sets up so you can monitor your speed. Usually my speedometer matches up pretty close to theirs but this time I was 10 mph slower than them. I'm just grasping at straws I guess but I'm out of ideas and don't know where to begin replacing sensors. Anybody?
