91 Explorer Transmission Advice please
I would like some advice from anyone that has experience with Explorer transmissions. My first transmission went out at around 82,000 miles (wouldn't go into 3rd gear). I had a rebuilt one put in by AAMCO and I'm up to around 89,000 miles but it seems to be slipping when cold. The rebuild is out of warantee so I haven't had it back in the shop yet to have it looked at. From the beginning it has always seemed to shift smoothly, almost too smooth for me.
What do you think the likely causes are? I checked the fluid, and it is clean, and full. Can this tranny be adjusted at a shop for low cost for this kind of problem or do you think it's on it's way out? Could it be the wrong tranny fluid?
Also anyone that has had success with these transmissions, what kind of maintainence did you do on them? I have a 02 Explorer, and want to treat the transmission with the best of care, since it appears to be a weak link in my 91.
Thanks!
