2001 Sport Trac 2wd
Hello all, I have a couple questions for you fine people here.
I have an '01 Sport Trac 2wd and have been having "THE ISSUE" it seems. I have done an exhaustive search of thousands of posts about this blinking light slipping problem.
Things I know:
1. The error codes 733/734
2. Incorrect Gear Ratio (3-4th)
3. Transmission slipping in the corresponding gears to the error codes.
4. I gave my mother my Sport Trac a few months ago because she gave me a lot (single Mom) growing up and has been forced to drive crappy cars for a long time because she has been helping me... (trying to appeal to the heartstrings of you members...ha)


She is 3.5 hours away from me (she is in Mobile Alabama) so I can't necessarilly pop over and check it all out in person.
My main question is this: has anyone gotten codes like this and what was the outcome of the aforementioned code issue?

Secondary question: Anyone have a trusted Transmission Mechanic(s) or know of one in the Mobile, AL area? When I say trusted I really mean one that wants to FIX the problem - just what's necessary - do a little homework and not just rake my dear sweet mother over the coals because they need to put turbo chargers on their Cigarette Boat or something.

Any information would be MUCH appreciated both by myself and my lovely sweet mother. ;)

Take a look at the third post in the 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary at the top of this forum page. It is a possibility. How many miles on her vehicle if you know ?
 






Oh sorry - forgot that part. about 120ish or so
thanks lameo
 






The Blinking O/D Light Saga...*UPDATE*

Firstly thanks for the information - after reading and doing a little more research this weekend my mind is much more at rest about the whole situation.


Good news (so far) I had her go get the fluid changed/transmission maintenance sorta thing and it seems that has alleviated the problem (for now). If anything I suppose it'll buy us a little time to find the right guy (or a road trip for me) to replace the necessary parts for the valve body etc.

Thanks again,
lameo
