I seem to recall that the vehicle speed sensor is not part of the transmission
The 97 has three, and one internal.
I have a photo if you want it.
According to my ATSG manual:
Trans Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor
Digital Transmission Range (DTR) sensor
Transmission Overdrive Drum Speed (ODS) sensor
Transmission Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor
I seem to recall that the vehicle speed sensor is not part of the transmission
My friend, the ODS is marked, and the OSS is the one you can see in the back.
at idle in park there a noise comming from the torque converter area like a metal clank with a exhaust leak sound
The ODS i'm not worried about on the 97 explorer Ford modified that on a recall they just cut the plug and wired them.Due to sending false pulses to the PCM.
What exactly was involved in the recall and what kind of things can go wrong if not done? I just bought a '97 Ex and don't know if the recall was performed. Thanks.
The drum sensor the just cut the plug and wired the two and made sure they wouldn't come apart.It send false info to the pcm making the trans act up.It's also on alldata best bet to call a dealer near you give them the VIN or just look at the drum sensor if it isn't hook-up and you can't see the plug then it was done.
If the recall hasnt been complied with, will this sensor cause the tranny to slip? It runs fine until it begains to try to go into OD, then it slips as if the clutches are gone out. I changed the Filter, The Fluid, and the three Solenoids. When it begains to slip I pull over shut the enging off, wait a few minutes, restart, and everything is fine for a few miles.but then starts all over again after a few miles.
Could be that the forward clutch is cooked. Lots of miles on the trans?
Incorrect, speed sensor is located on planetary, internaly on 5R55E model.On a '97, that is correct.
