Howdy Explorer Gurus,
This is my first post on this site although I have spent many hours perusing your sage wisdom. I am the original owner of a 96 Explorer 4x4 XLT with the 4.0L V-6, auto transmission with overdrive (4R44E/4R55E/5R55E?) that is my first question, what tranny, do I have? I would go look but it is in storage on the other side of the world.
I have been reading your posts about shift kits, I have 100K on my explorer and have done a fair amount of towing (across the US X2), I have never had any serious problems, some slippage that I fixed by tightening the bands (hopefully correctly) and I change the fluid on a regular basis.
Second question is the Trans Go or Superior the better kit and why?
Third question is it worth the time and money for a transmission that already has 100K on it?
Fourth question I was quoted $400 for installation of the TransGo kit, does this strike you as outrageously expensive?
Gracias,
Colt
