1993 Explorer 4X2 ??

Am looking at buying a 1993 4X2 120k on the miles and a slight slip in the tranny when its cold. Is there any other inherent problems with theses trucks?

Thanks for the input in advance.

Radius arm bushings go bad. Also, if the trans slipping when it's cold, it's probably just going to get worse. Plan on having to replace the trans.

I once had a Ford with a C 6 trans that did something similar, it just wouldn't move for a little while on the initial start up of the day. The shop called it morning sickness they changed the fluid to B&Ms Trick Shift and in a few days it was as good as new, I had the car for another 4 years and never had another problem with the trans. I know I got lucky.

Yes, But the A4LD is not a venerable C6
