92 Explorer Shifting Problem

The 3-4 shift is electronically controlled. Start by checking the 3-4 control circuit. If that checks out, then check to see if the PCM is telling the transmission to shift. If it isn't, then there is a problem with the engine management system (maybe bad data from the TPS or VSS). If it is, then there could be a problem inside the transmission (bad OD solenoid, or worse).
