howdy all,please excuse me being so forward and all with this being my first contact here but i need some help.i am the proud owner of a 2002 explorer xlt 4.6.the vehicle is 5 speed auto[auto 4wd]at 110000km is immaculate however has developed a rattle upon takeoff 1st to 4th stopping in 5th.the same noise can be made out [just] at idle under the vehicle from the bellhousing area.at 99900km ,2 months before i purchased it it had the following done[failed trans solenoid ,piston servo,band ] all replaced,seals,pmp gasket,mercon v oil ,trans screened. the harder you takeoff and the more temp the more audible it is.5th is quiet ,engine quiet. at a cruise speed of 100-105kmh it will also at times rev up slightly as if dropping out of overdrive.
