My first problem is my transmission seems a little rough going in and out of park to drive, or to reverse..it seems to make a clunk, then its fine..it doesn't whine or anything. i talked to Ford and they said they put a different transmission in on the 2003, and its not a problem, so I'm hoping I'm not going back there cause my transmission blew up...What do you guys think??

My second problem, and i think biggest problem is what i think is the 4x4 system..when i make turns coming out of my street(decently hard rights, and lefts) is seems to vibrate like 3 times, each lasting probably a 1/4 of a second..it does it every-time, and any time..doesn't matter if i just drove 100 miles, or drove down the street. What is it?? am i ok?? by the way, it goes into 4x4, and 4x4 low with out any problems. Doesn't make any weird sounds, and things like that..so i have no idea what going on.

The last thing is when i go up steep hills(7%) and give it a lot of gas(ok full throttle gets high up in the rpms like around 5k, it shifts fine, but when it starts to climb in rpms, the engine goes back and forth about 100rpms...you can hear the engine i guess regulate between rpms..it does continue to go up in rpms, it doesn't just stop at a certain rpm..And this ONLY happens going up some type of hill..never in the flats

the explorer is a 2003 Eddie Bauer 4.6l v8 with 40k miles on it

I'm probably going to find a identical one to test drive to see if it does it..Hopefully I'm in the right forum..probably not though..SO i hope someone can help me out here thanks

 

can anyone help??
