Cool trans problems

i just wanted to let everone know about this. the service recall. they have one out for explorers. when you put it in reverse it hesitates for a few sec. and the engages. they put some additive in and that did not fix the problem. i knew it would not. i took it back and they changed out the shift solinoid. that was the problem. they said that it was a problem in all 2004 explorers. if you have one get it checked out.

I just started having shifting problems in my Explorer 2001. Only 42000 miles!! Do you know if the recall is just for 2004 models?
