Welcome to the forum!
Which engine and transmission does your Explorer have? With the lack of punctuation I'll try to make sense of where one thought ends and the next begins....
If the V6 with the 5 speed automatic transmission, the reverse issues may just be due to a sticking valve body/shift solenoid. That's a pretty common issue on the Explorer 5 speed transmission. It probably does not require a new transmission but rather about $500 in parts and labor. If the bores are worn and need to be drilled and sleeved, that will bump the cost up another $200 or so.
What kind of noise are you hearing that you think is from the transmission? Does it change with vehicle speed or engine speed? If you shift to neutral does the noise go away? Does your Explorer have 4WD? Have you changed the fluid in the transfer case if 4WD?
