I drive a 95' XLT 4WD 3.0L V6 - Trans code: 4R44E
Noticed a few weeks, maybe a month or two ago that my O/D light comes on about 20 minutes into a drive or after driving about 10 miles. It's very consistent and it takes HOURS off non-run time to not be flashing again when I start it up. When the light is flashing it's sluggish to start, and shifts harder than normal, ESPECIALLY when shifting into reverse. My gas mileage blows. I gotta get this thing fixed before I take it on a 1500 round trip.
I'm really hoping for anything but having to get a new transmission here...
I've seen possible solutions being the speed sensor in the rear diff, a sensor inside the tranny pan, other sensors on the outside of the transmission, etc.
What's going to be my best option here? What is the most likely cause?
