If you still need some help with this, more details can help answer the question. Don't even know if it's an auto or manual.

Did you test drive it before you bought it, and if so did it shift OK?

Trans in the Gen I Explorers is a definite weak point. That's probably why you got it cheap. Good luck...

you have there what is known as an A4LD (Automatic, 4 speed, Light Duty,)

If it will not move, dump the pan and check for colour of fluid and how many lbs/kg of filings , then if you want to keep the truck, rebuilt the tranny, remember at this point the tranny is worth more than the truck.....

Definitley a matter of opinion on this post.

In my opinion, my 93 explorer is priceless...but on an open market, it's going to get $4-5K...I think a tranny is a bit and a half less than that!

Dont get me wrong, I have a 92 and a 97, both with over 320K, and a good rebuild in canada could run 2800.00 before taxes
