    O/D OFF dashboard light

    The first time I had it rebuilt the planetary gears were all chipped with shavings and gouges throughout the case. It was fixed and good for 25,000 miles. The light came on again and started shifting hard and clunking. Again the planetary gears. I had it rebuilt again. I know the gears were...

    O/D OFF dashboard light

    Unfortunately, after 2 transmission rebuilds and 1 new transmission I figured out the only cure for this problem. I traded the explorer for a toyota and have had no transmission woes since. I urge all 94-96 explorer owners to do the same.

    what about bridgestone dueller a/t

    My wife thinks the ride of the LT235's is harsher than the p-metrics but I don't agree. What I believe to be the case is the LT-series don't allow the sidewalls to roll, so in hard cornering the ride is more stiff. This is a trade-off for the decrease in body roll. The coolest thing about the...

    98 4.0 SOHC Tranny problems?

    A4LDE stinks! I'm new here and already have found answers to what I was looking for. My 95 Explorer XLT 4X4 transmission has gone out again after only 21K since last rebuild! I am going to put an aftermarket cooler this time. I did all the leg work on the last rebuild. All the gears are...

    O/D OFF dashboard light

    Unfortunately I have had some experience with this. This has happened twice to me. The last time the ring and sun gears had to be replaced. This time I don't know yet. My transmission is in pieces being inspected as we speak. This little light is either a warning that something major is...
