Tranny AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN

[TheRookie]

DOH! I was hoping my a4ld would hold for another 6 months or so but was let down. On the way to see family on christmas the trans was slipping like crazy. I pulled off at a gas station to check fluid and it was 2 quarts low. Well I checked it before this 80 mile drive and was perfect. RUT ROH. Added fluid in a hope to make it to my familys. None such, started slipping like crazy so I stopped at a fast fod place. There was a solid trail of fluid leading into the lot. after sitting there about 2 mins there was atleast a quart and a half of fluid under the truck. Now I gotta get my X towed 80 miles back home. Though I havent checked it out yet its probably the Front pump seal that failed. Man this sucks. I just dont have the cash for another trans right now.
OK sorry I am done *****ing

When you own a Explorer, get used to replacing the tranny. I got sick of it, so I bought a Toyota.

I am used to it. This will be the 3rd time I have had the trans out. Got it down to a science

How many hours to do a re and re on the tranny?

Takes me about 4 hours to remove and replace trans. Book however is like 7 i think. Now I gotta decide what to do. Cash is aufully tight right now. First thing is obviously going to be figure out whats wrong. Got the truck to my job tonight thatks to a uhaul. Wonder how much I can find a 700r4 for and how much to get it built for the 4.0. I am tired of this trans

Thanks, I've been told 6 hrs for a 1997. He says the
transfer case has to come out as well, can anyone verify
this.

the t-case is attached to the tranny so yes, it must come out.
