![]() ![]() Thank you.Ģ002 Ford Explorer transmission problems. I need peace of mind that my vehicle is going to be there for me as I take care of it with proper service and maintenance. I have a 2yr daughter and I spend about 75% of my time in that vehicle with her. A recall needs to be issued so that their dealerships can make the proper repairs to this vehicle. The responsibility lies with Ford itself. I have no blame to place on my local Ford dealership or the transmission shop. 'd an exceptional deal on it and I truly believe it still has a lot of good left in it. This is the first Ford I've ever owned and I, personally, don't want to get rid of my truck. I, just like everyone else who has encountered this problem, thinks Ford should take responsibility. ![]() I was able to run my few errands and get back home. Two weeks after this problem began, I left my home on a mid-Sunday morning and the problem started again with the flashing od light and a hesitant transmission. I drove it out of town that Friday and returned home Saturday. A broken wiring harness in my steering column was diagnosed as the problem and it was repaired for $230. The following Monday, I took the truck back (as is) and took it to a transmission shop for a second opinion. I was told I would need my transmission replaced. 'd a call on Friday of that week and was told that they had dropped the pan on my transmission and found a "gear" laying in the pan. Thought my truck would be repaired in a day, but they had my truck for the entire week. Was told it was a solenoid body going bad. Contacted my Ford dealership and dropped the truck off for a solution to my problem. ![]() Same problem occurred twice the next day (Monday). Called my husband, he made a couple of suggestions and I was able to make it home. Not too long ago, my od light began flashing and my transmission was hesitating. So what you have is less pressure available because of the bypass and a reduced pressure on the bands due to fluid pressure building up on both sides of the piston.I have an 02 Ford Explorer eb edition. ![]() Also, the transmission bypasses some of the fluid and therefore pressure into the area where the bands are located. When the transmission is trying to pump fluid between the cover and the piston, it also pumps fluid on the opposite side of the piston through the increased clearances, so those forces are fighting themselves. Not only that the OEM machining has sharp edges that scrape away at the bore. This gives you a situation of a very hard metal, rubbing against softer aluminum, so the aluminum wears. The shafts for the servos are hardened (very hard!) steel going through a machined aluminum bore in the transmission case (brilliant design!). The pistons have seals that allow pressure to build up between the sealed servo cover and the piston. There is a port in the transmission bore for each that feeds fluid into a cross bore in the servo shaft and up through a counter bore in the shaft to the back side of the piston of each. Results of our survey confirm there are still going to be issues that are misdiagnosed. It is up to you to diagnose your vehicle and if you come to the conclusion you have worn bores, our kit will fix the problem if installed correctly referencing our directions. There may be other issues within the drive train that can cause similar or some of the same symptoms. Please Note: The symptoms described above are only that, common symptoms.
