- 2005 Ford Explorer
I bought a used 2005 Explorer from the local Government Auction, knowing that the reverse was out. It drove fine in forward gears, and had a very weak reverse gear. Would barely move, but it did ok in 4X4 low. I pulled the transmission pan and replaced the solenoid pack with a rebuilt one and it threw all kinds of OBD codes, and would not engage forward or reverse, no movement at all. So I'm assuming the pack is bad and sending back to get a refund. I replaced the old solenoid pack and am limping along now. When I pulled the pan, it looked like a new transmission, no residue in the pan, no clutch pieces-parts, no metal shavings, etc. I did install a new filter also and filled with Ford Mercron V.
Im going to NAPA and get a rebuilt solenoid pack and bite the $$$$bullet, but at least I can trust it. Is there anything else that would cause only reverse to be non-functional?? What other things can I try while Im inside the trans????
Thanks Ron
