Tranny Fluid Issues?

[dothedeww]

My explorer has 70000 on it now. Never had tranny work done (flush, filter, etc)

4.0 v6

So today im parked in a parking spot...put it in reverse..nothing. put it into park then back into reverse...nothing. I rev it to about 2500 and it pops into reverse and spins outta the parking lot.

Tranny fluid low?

It has always taken a while to engage...so maybe its always been low?

And finally, does anyone know anyone other than the dealer that will do tranny fluid...since its a closed system and doesnt have a visible dipstick?

Just had mine done today at Jiffy Lube, cost was like $90 but still cheaper than the dealer ...

I went to jiffy lube and a maintence center and neither could find the dipstick, therefore refused to do it. where is it EXACTLY? thanks.

hmm...looks like ill just give it to the dealer. Not as easy as my 99 dodge where u just undo the plug and fill up top. Haha. dealer wants 130 to do it...its theirs.
