#173 of 252 attn 1998-2004 explorer owners by fordfan_17 Apr 12, 2008 (11:57 am)
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: regal2 (Sep 19, 2006 7:21 am) It's terrible, the transmission troubles with Explorers. I've had mine now for 5 years, and luckily not tranny problems yet, but everyone I know who has one says the same thing, nothing but problems with their transmissions. Some of them have even had them replaced up to three time now.   When doing a little research on the topic I came across Autobeef, they have a lot of the same complaints....check out this one page it has something like 70 people all saying around the same thing..http://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Explorer/2004/transmission/transmission- _slipping_shifts_hard.shtml   -the transmission control module   -or the valve body or the whole thing. When is ford going to help fix the problem they created in the first place.
#179 of 252 2000 XLT tranny slip by kthor Jun 15, 2008 (11:08 am)
My Explorer has just developed a upshift slip between 1st and 2nd gear at about 3000 rpm it revs up to about 4000 rpm and then switches gear. No other issues when downshifting or between any other gears. Is this a transmission issue, computer control, or something else?

Replying to: kthor (Jun 15, 2008 11:08 am) this trans blows valvebody gaskets creating these shifting conditions may be able to replace valvebody gaskets and go on your way Replies to this message: kthor (Jun 18, 2008 8:16 pm)

#182 of 252 '02 transmission by lhsbearcat64 Jun 28, 2008 (5:43 pm)
Just my 2 cents worth: had '02 Explorer (51,000 miles) with tranny "clunk." Independent shop replaced valve body (gasket IS an issue), drilled out solenoid holes and installed bushings (aluminum case is too soft) and it worked fine. After 18 months I traded it (63,000 miles) for a Toyota 'cause the rear end (aluminum, again) was junk. Now the tranny in my '95 (133,000 miles) is vibrating and slipping...and I'm going to have it rebuilt. I love that vehicle. The '02 rode great, but Ford went cheap on the aluminum in the transmission and rear end and ruined it. Too bad. Their engines are fine, but they can't seem to make a sturdy transmission to go with them. They have done wonders for sales of Toyotas, Hondas, etc.
