Tranny Issue
Hey all,
I've got a problem with what I think is the transmission on my 2001 Explorer Sport (automatic). When accelerating, the truck shifts from 1st to 2nd ok, but delays shifting into 3rd - I'm thinking it comes out of second gear ok on it's way to third since the rpm's are jumping in between. The softer I accelerate the shorter the time it takes to engage into third gear (almost normal times). If I accelerate hard, it can take 1-2 seconds for 3rd to engage.
How screwed am I? Probably unrelated, but she was into Ford two weeks ago to get the rear axle seals replaced, and an ABS sensor replaced.
She's going in again on Wednesday to get this looked at, just wanted to know what I may be looking at before hand.
Thanks

you can check it with a probe volt meter it's supposed to read .9 volts at idle and max out at less than 4.9 I believe , but check a manual or someone in this forum would know the exact voltages, it is slightly adjustable, but I've found that a comparison with one I know to be good (I've got more than 1 Ford (how smart could I be) ) is the easiest,quickest way to test.
