- 1993 Explorer Eddie Bauer
I picked up a '93 Eddie Bauer from a neighbor for $180 because the tranny was "out" and he was gunna scrap it. Other than the ton of miles, needing a few interior pieces, and tranny issues it's a nice enough rig to make into a daily driver and keep for a while. Before someone says it anyways, YES, I have used the search to get some ideas of what could be wrong. Unfortunately nothing has come up with exactly the same symptoms. I've done just about everything there is to do on a vehicle except screw with an automatic, of the 25 cars I've had this is the first with this type of issue.
So, if I start it up and immediately shift into R or D it takes a few seconds before the RPMs drop and it moves around just fine. I've driven it a few blocks at a time w/o any problems and it shifts in and out of the gears just fine. The biggest concern comes when you put it in park and let it idle for a few minutes, then when you select ANY gear the RPMs don't drop like normal and if you rev it at all it doesn't make any attempt to move. The fluid is up and clean and I'm already planning of doing a full flush, filter, and modulator. I have no objection to getting another tranny and TC from the boneyard but of course that can lead me into other issues as well. Thoughts?
