Tranny Bucking
Have a 97 Explorer XLT 225000 miles. Tranny has started to buck at around 45 mph when I start to give it a load and also sometimes at highways speeds when I goose it a little. I had a tranny flush 100k ago, tapped into tranny cooling lines and pumped the old fluid out by engine idling. The filter was not changed. Truck runs/shifts well otherwise. Any thoughts? Another flush won't hurt .
Thanks

That fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles, so you are three times overdue. The filter should be replaced every time you flush. A flush and a new filter would probably help, and wouldn't hurt since you need it anyway.
And yes, a bad plug, wire, or injector can cause the same symptoms.

Yeah 30,000 is when you should change it.. I changed mine at 100k, I am at 128k so i will be flushing soon.. i still do not understand how to get all the fluid out.. i drop the pan and replace the filter, but i have read that there are lines i shold be draining .. i am not sure what lines I need to drain..
