- 2008 Ford Explorer Ltd V8
Our 2008 Explorer has started to develop a transmission problem. When driving and lightly pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, it will jerk slightly (feels like a light misfire) as it changes gear. If I accelerate harder it's not as noticable. It's a 2008 V8, pretty sure it's got the 6R60 transmission and has just over 130k miles on it.
In searching I can't accept this thread 2008 Explorer transmission shifting issues but the OP never posted what the fix was.
Just over a year ago I replaced the valve body, so the thought of having to spend more on the transmission this soon is pretty annoying, and as much as I like the vehicle, has me considering dumping it. I believe there is a transmission software update that I need to get done, but am not sure what that covers.
Any ideas on what the problem might be? And more importantly, what is the fix?
Thanks
