Sorry for the double post. I posted this problem in the wrong forum and i do apologize any way here it is.
The trans in my 97 explorer has been totally weird lately. The trans always had the 2nd-3rd gear issue of having to let off the gas around 40mph and it would shift. Lately the trans will shift ok some of the time but has not been shifting until the motor is just about screaming. The 1st to 2nd shift will occur around 3500 rpm's. The 2nd to 3rd shift will occur just around 50-55 mph. 3rd to fourth happens with low rpm's and just letting off the gas. I had and have reset the computer a few times thinking that it was in limp mode. The first time the issue was gone for a few days. The second time it only lasted about a half hour(i may not have allowed enough time for a good erase). I have resest the computer again but have yet to drive it being that iam at work and can't leave. The truck has over a 197k on it and does need a desperate fluid change which should be done today. To the best of my knowledge it has a 4R70W trans. I have a tought time deciphering AODE and the 4R. While i have the pan down I would like to swap out the servos for the 2nd-3rd shift and the EPC and also the Speed Sensor while I'am under there. I would like to know if there is anything else that should be checked while the pan is down. Any help in resolving this is highly appreciated and all of the reading has been very knowledgable.
thank you gigantically.
