Hi,
Have a 97 Explorer XLT (automatic w/overdrive) with over 200,000 miles. Today driving having a whir/whine type noise from under the vehicle when the vehicle appeared to downshift. We were at highway speeds and when the RPMs hit just under 2000 had the noise. The RPMs dropped down when this happened vs reving up. On ramp manually downshifted to 2 and worked once ok, but then every time vehicle downshifted noise came back and just whined down. Like it was trying to disengage/downshift and wasn't happening. Started doing this when attempting to downshift all gears. Thought initially stuck in 4th gear, but then happened on all gears seemed. Upshifts fine. NOT a good sound. Any suggestions?
