first post but been lurking around for a few years.
got a 92 regular cab short bed 4x4, 2.9, auto trans. 8.8 explorer rear w/ disk brakes, 4:88 gears, 4" lift with 33" general grabbers,yada yada yada.. i'll post some pics some time soon.
anyhow i seem to be having a strange problem with with the trans. no slipping or burnt fluid but when i start from a stop with the selector in od it seems that od may be staying engaged in all gears, not sure but i know that it downshifts after take off. if i start in drive all is normal. ive searched all over and cant seem to find a solution. anyone else have this?
have a great weekend and happy wheelin!!

Never heard of that problem, but Howdy and welcome to TRS.

It does seem to be an odd problem... More annoying than anything

Welcome to TRS! I'm not sure what to tell you though about your problem. I know basic stuff about transmissions and can do minor trouble shooting, but this one has surpassed my abilities of trans knowledge.

Thanks. This site is a great resource for the rbv enthusiasts out there.
Not sure what's going on with my tranny but I don't really drive it much about 3000 miles in the last few years so it's just a little annoying at the moment. It's going to be getting a transplant soon!! Lol

3,000 miles in a few years?! That's crazy low. Is that just because you only drive it when you absolutely have to or something?
