I guess i am having transmission problems. When it gets alil pass 25 it revs until i floor it so it can go into the next gear. When i drive in 2 it drives with power, but when in driver or overdrive it does that, now it does it in reverse, it just revs unless i put my foot to the ground. Its been doing that for the last month or so but it wasnt that bad, i just added transmission fluid, now it got worst. I need this truck for a few more weeks to get back and fourth to work, which is about 30 miles away so on the highway its fine, well i will see how it acts tomorrow, friday it drove home fine on the highway, its just city driving it doesnt like anymore. How bad is it to drive in 2 around town?

Problem 2, The light switched is broken. I unhooked it to see what was wrong and it turns out, one of the connects cause alil fire. So now there is no lights.

Only parking if i pull the nob out alil, and as for headlights i gotta hold the highbeams on. it got worst after i went for inspection and they made it worst but pulling the switch around. SO i failed inspection and they gave me a 2 daY STICKER, to get it fixed. THat was in the beginning of the month, so it still aint fixed. I tried another switch but it aint work. i guess i gotta find a switch and get it rewired. It also failed for emission which was 3330 and on the paper it said normal is around 900. Im not sure its worth fixing. I guess it times to move on to explorer 2, but the transmission is down. so i gotta get that fixed first.
 






I honestly dont think Mine is rebuildable, I mean Ive nursed this trans. since I got it...The fluid is black and has metal shavings all in it, i just said forget and kept on driving it one night knowingly it was starving for fluid,,, (because Of a seal leak,vent tube,cooler line ECT. fluid leak
