- 2011 explorer limited 4WD
11 explorer limited 4WD. Have recently experienced what I think is transmission slippage/shutter at highway speeds when accelerating to pass a vehicle. Description of a hesitation and lunge 3 or 4 times before kicking in to pass, not really a Jenking action. Then last night at a steady 55 mph felt and heard 3 thuds in the floorboard. This morning i jacked up the vehicle to inspect and also found dark black fluid leaking from the PTU. Was wondering if the PTU could be the issue instead of the transmission. Searching I've found the PTU to be surrounded by nothing but heat and I haven't serviced since Ive had it 144k miles
