There goes the trans, could that mean 4x4 swap time

but seriously, my POS is starting to act out, some times ill be driving and it will just drop gear, usually slow speeds, like maybe its the 1-2 shift, it will feel like it goes to nuetral, i hear it reving, than it will pop into gear... and keep going, after everything is ran for a few mins it usually wont do it.....

any thoughts

torque converter?

Not sure.... is there a way to check it? i know its still locking in OD.... damn i already pulled one tranny today, i dont feel like doing another...

LOL

also last weekend i changed the filter and fluid hoping that would be the prob, didnt help...

O/D light flashing? It almost sounds like an accumulator spring or the valve body. I am not familiar with your trans but thats my $.02

a LONG time ago it flashed for a couple mins, but than after that, it never did it again...

Bump its getting worse, and doing it all through the gear range now.....

Please tell me its a sensor, or something cheap i can repait myself..

It is a sensor. Here's how you fix it-

1- unhook sensor

2- remove transmission

3- replace w/ new transmission

4- plug sensor back in


J/K Seriously though, its time for a rebuild. How many miles on the current one?

 

[XplorerKid]

prolly 106k, if its time for a rebuild, kiss the Xplorer good bye....
