My explorer has been gradually getting worse on the shifting. It is an automatic and has 125, 000 miles. It has a 4.0 with a single overhead cam. I want to fix it because the body and motor are still in great shape. Sometimes it will not shift out of low until 3000 RPM's and other times I have to back off the gas when it shifts into drive or it will just rev. I took it to a shop but they wanted 250 to diagnose so a friend told me of this site. A code has now come up that says P1762 which is a converter/shift solonoid problem. One shop says it is most likely a solonoid problem but another said most likely a rebuild. I dont mind spending the money to fix it, I just want to be sure of what it could be without spending 250 to start. Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem and how I would diagnose or what to look for. I am not a great mechanic but I am not afraid to get dirty, lol. I am just looking for some suggestions.......Thank you for replies and thanks for letting me join.......
