Trans question?
i know this may not be appropriate forum but there are people who view it that are very knowledgable. Does anyone know anything about the trans in 01 explorers?..i have one that reverse wont engage some times. its funny because one sec it will work fine and then shift into d and then reverse and nothing, it just revs. i hope some one can help because a new trans aint gona make me happy and niether is throwing parts either. thanks

It's probably a failing seal in the reverse clutch. Sometimes it hold, sometimes it doesn't. If I'm right this is going to happen more and more until it won't go in reverse at all.

how would i diagnose this and what would be the fix ?.. it seems to engage harsh when put in reverse when it does work. im not sure what my next action would be. i was thinkin of flushing fluid and changing filter because im doubtfull the dealer changed the filter when flushed last. i just dont wanna waste money on new fluid just to have to pull the trans and lose all the new fluid.i guess that would be the cheapest route right now though.

in your opinion would it be better to have it rebuilt or just buy a new reman ford unit? i have had trouble with rebuilds even at pro shops and the cost of a rebuild was almost the same as a reman unit .
