Figured I’d ask here as well since explorers are so similar to rangers.
I have a 99 Explorer Sport with 4.0L, 150k and 5R55-something auto trans. Drives fine for about a mile, then loses all gears until it cools off for a while. Not to keen on replacing the entire transmission if I don’t have to. I know they have issues with servos, as well as valve body gaskets.
ATF is a darker faded red, doesn’t smell exactly burnt. Smells like well used ATF (I have no idea when it was last changed). No check engine or warning lights are illuminated, even during the gear loss.
Even temporary solutions are fine, just enough to use the truck until I can afford a new transmission.
