Fordboy: Matt sent you anther PM........hopefully will go through this time.
Thanks,

 

How long has the lastest updated seperator gastest and plate been out.

The reason I am asking I had my 00 explorer in about a year ago and per the TSB they replaced with the updated parts.

Well a little over a year later I have shift issues and took it back to the dealer and their diagnoises is it needs this update per the TSB.

So I showed them where they did this a year ago and they are now telling me well the parts has been updated again.

Is this true??

 

im not sure. if they didnt put the bonded gasket in than its very possible that its broke again.

Matt

 

per the invoice, they have all of the part no#s listed off the TSB. It is still under the exteneded warentey. Just costing me $50 for the deduct again.

Hopefully I see a few more parts listed this time.

Just an FYI for all those reading, codes pulled were because of low pressure, and the codes were listed on the TSB.

Thanks, for the help.

 

you might check and see if there are not more tsb's to deal with

Matt

 

Yo yo,

Here's my update:

I tried to take off the pan (all the fluid came out but wasn't too bad), but the problem was that I couldn't get the pan out! The driveshaft and the Cat-Converter were in the way therefore the pan would not drop! How do I get those off?

Anyways, I towed it to a shop today and I'm going to have them do the work.

Thanks for all the help!

Going to pick up the Exploder...they say work is all done...but no reverse right now...I think Matt had the same issue when he first did the work...hopefully I'll drive around a little like he did and it will be OK!

Thanks,
Nick

 

yea, do alot of stop and go driving. i also slid into reverse while slightly moving forward and all of a sudden it worked

Matt

 

well, im waiting for your verdict!

Matt

 

Well...

I drove the car back home last night...and I drove it about 20 miles to work this morning...

I still get a slip and I had it go into O/D Off and I don't have reverse yet!

I guess I need to do some more stop and go driving.

I'll keep everyone updated.

Late,
Nick

 

yes, and keep an eye on your fluid level. what all did they do to it?

Matt

 

They did:

Seperator Plate
Blow Off Valve
Removed Parts in Valve Body per TSB
Trans Filter
Trans Fluid (Including Lucus)

I supplied all the parts...they did all the work for $350

hrm, i wonder if the reverse servo fell out like it did on me (it might stay in due to friction) and i was curious if i installed it incorrectly causing my problem.

an idea for you to try is to be moving somewhat slowly and shift into reverse and give it just a little bit of gas. this did the trick for me. dont know why.

does your truck act like its trying to do something in reverse? mine acted like it was chained to a pole or something

Matt

 

When I go to reverse, it slightly feels like it wants to go, then it's like I'm in neutral.

I drove it home today...maybe a little bit better (maybe because I know to lay off when I'm shifting and I'm being optimistic), but I still get slip and I got an O/D Off as well.

I'll update again tomorrow.

Late,
Nick

 

Update:
well the dealer did not succeed with the same parts they installed a year ago. Now an erratic shift going from 1st to 2nd and having th flashing o/d light. Took it in, they re-read the codes, their verdict:

Bring it back in on Monday and we will have a loaner for you. They said they would have it for a couple of days. Looking like tranny rebuild.

Thank goodness for the extended warranty.
