#168 of 252 Re: chatter while coasting [rhtrans] by madflower Mar 01, 2008 (10:23 am)
Replying to: rhtrans (Feb 29, 2008 6:03 pm) Slight update. It does happen now while under power. But only while turning left (? I have now forgotten. but it was turning.) it does -seem- to be coming from the left side. (Cars can echo.)   How hard is it to pull that off and i assume I need to replace the main gasket (any others?), and what kind of fluid do I need to put in it? Do I need special tools? or can i just directly pop that off by crawling under it?    anything else to check for?
#169 of 252 Excellent dealer service, problem gone! by fsmmcsi Mar 07, 2008 (5:29 pm)
My 2006 Explorer V8 has exhibited some slight 1-2 upshift and downshift problems since it was new, but they were too slight for me to botehr taking it in for service. I now have 34,600 miles on it, and the problem (occasionally feeling like being hit from behind on some stops, occasional jerky take-off from stops) had worsened, so I took it to Santa Margarita Ford. I especially appreciate the transmission mechanic's desire to having it right returning it to me. He worked on it, and it was supposed to be finished at the end of the day Wednesday. However, when I arrived to pick it up, Duane in the service department explained that the mechanic was not statisfied with the way it shifted, so wanted to replace more parts. I picked it up this morning (Firday), and it is very, very smooth.   Moderators - you really ought to separate these mechanical issue forums out by model year range. For example, the 6-speed automatic used in the 2006 and newer Explorers (and other vehicles) is not the same as the 5-speed unit used in the 2002 to 2005 models, nor the 4-speed unit used in the 2001 and earlier models. Each should be in separate discussions. Replies to this message: yellowvette (Mar 07, 2008 6:36 pm)

To all with the transmission down-shifting problems after comming to a stop. Put the truck back in shop, got it back today, so far so good. Dealer ship called Ford and they sent them a different program for the transmission. It shifts normal now, just hope it stays this way.-thx.

Replying to: moterboat (Oct 02, 2007 12:58 pm) It should be able to pull it just fine. I've pulled my 3700lb boat to the lake and up mountain inclines many times in the past year with my '93. No problems, and it has 200,000+ miles. I think you just have a bad tranny

known transmission issues are posted in my blog concerning blown valve body gaskets could save you an overhaul if you know about it and get it fixed before you spend money for a rebuild
#174 of 252 Could it be Tranny by bottini May 17, 2008 (4:42 am)
I have a 99 Explorer with 110,000 mile. I has the SOHC 4.0 engine At 102,000 miles had the plugs and plug wires replaced. The vehicle started missing right after this Replaced the plugs and plug wires again. Still missing. If it is under 2000 rpm and you start up an incline it starts to miss. Once it downshifts and it gets over 2000 rpm it quits missing. Replaced the fuel filter and the ignition coil module and it is still missing. It has been on 2 different scopes and shows no codes. Could this somehow be related to the transmission? It is not slippage, but a definite miss Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (May 19, 2008 1:50 pm)

Replying to: bottini (May 17, 2008 4:42 am) it could be transmission related if yor miss comes in at highway speeds only after the last gearshift it could be a torque chatter

Replying to: madflower (Feb 29, 2008 5:52 pm) I have an 05 explorer that is doing the same thing. Have you found out what the problem is?
