Slow to reverse problem
I am looking at a 1998 or 1999 Ford Expedition, not sure which year. Its a 4wd, all black, Eddie Bauer, 90k... Looks real nice inside and out. The issue is it is slow to shift into reverse. Not sure why, I have not even checked anything yet. He is only asking 3000 for it, which is a good deal considering. Is the tranny due for a rebuild or is it something I can fix? I am pretty handy with tools and can tackle complex jobs but automatic transmission repair is somewhat out of my realm. If it is due for a rebuild, how much should I expect to pay? I would be bringing the transmission down to the shop and reinstalling it myself. It would just be parts and labor. I was also wondering if a shift kit in this tranny is worth it? Which tranny is it even? I had a 2000 F-350 that I recently sold and am hoping this would be a decent replacement... Much better mileage anyways! I was getting between 7 and 9 with my V10 before.
