92 explorer trans problem

i'm sure this has been discussed before but i hope i can get a little info out of the experts

got a 92 4wd explorer-started to slip and sometimes just won't move-then it will start to move again

before i take the trans out is there other things i can do to try to correct this problem

if i find that the trans needs to be rebuilt or replaced i am thin king of trying to rebuilt it myself-i really don't need the truck up and running for a while. is this something that you guys recommend that i try or should i leave it to the pros??

thanx in advance for the help!!!

If the slip is on the normal OD position, try it in D. There is a one way clutch that can slip in OD. This load is taken by another clutch for gears 1-3 when in D. Give info on how it also operates in manual 1 & 2 and reverse.

Most mechanical problems are fairly easy to fis and do not require special tools. Basic rebuild with manual will cost about $100. In really bad cases it will cost another $100. Provide the above info and I can give a better idea. Iassume the fluid level is normal and you haven't changed the filter recently.

The filter question was because some people forget to put the O rings on the new filter or don't snug it up fully. Then it sucks air in and shifts funny. When you get it together, run those tests and tell us what you found in the pan.

well i ended up dropping the pan and didn't find any parts laying in there
the filter also didn't seem "bad" to me but who knows
put the new filter in, loaded up the new fluid, and what do you know-i don't have the slightest slip at all-even this morning being 10 degrees-i think i fixed the problem

THANX FOR THE HELP
