Ok so we picked up a 96 Explorer control trac 4wd with I believe a 4r55e. Did a full tune up which included tranny filter and fluid. Not a flush.
Now transmissions are not my strong point. I've swapped manuals and replaced several clutches, but anything internal I have not messed with. Add the fact that its an auto and computer controlled and I'm lost.
After changing the filter and adding about 4 quarts to relplace what was lost, it would shift until the end of the neighborhood then stay in first gear. Apparently I didn't use the new hardware on the filter. I didn't know it was there until I had it back together, but I read the old hardware will cause it to suck air. So I dropped the pan again and swapped the new bolt on the filter. Filled it back up and now it wont shift out of first at all.
The only other thing I messed with was the transfer case. I swapped in a manual. Didn't think unplugging the shift motor would cause any issues.
