Newbie here and I've searched around a little, but hopefully I can find a quick answer (doubtful). I always told myself I'd never buy a Ford, but becarefull what you say. In march, I purchased a 91 explorer xlt auto. Just last week, while driving home in scorching weather 100deg.+ I noticed what seemed like a slipping tranny. I kept driving a couple miles and then it just went out. I pulled over, let it sit for a few minutes and then started it up and would run fine for about 1/2-1 mile then same thing. I finally made it home doing that over and over.
The tranny runs fine until the motor warms up then NO GEARS AT ALL, none. Checked oil level and appears to be on the high side and still red in color. So here are my questions:
1.What type of tranny do I have? (auto with 5 gears, it shifts 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 is very subtle/small, then a big 5th gear) sound right?
2. Should I try changing oil/filter (it's been about 25k since last change according to records) or is the problem elsewhere?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.
Any big time fisherman in here??
