- '98 XLT
I have a 98 explorer XLT, 4 door, 2/4 wheel drive.
At first my tranny would slip when I put it in reverse now and again. On its own, the car would not shift into reverse, I would have to shift to other gears such as drive and park and then back to reverse in order to get it into reverse. As time has gone on, it happens more frequently, and I will have more trouble getting the car out of reverse. The car has not slipped in any other gears.
I was told once that I complete transmission fluid flush could alleviate if not completely get rid of my problem as my problem may not be a failing tranny, though I'm not sure. Is my tranny failing? If so, how long do I have left on it? I'd love to get through the summer on it, putting another 5k or so miles on it before I sell it off. If I can flush it out and fix the problem, then that would be great and I'd have no more problems.
