FordTechMakuloco Man, I just stumbled onto your KZfaq channel. I’ve leaned more in the last 5 hours from your videos than I could have in a whole semester at some vocational (automotive) school. Appreciate your work and passion ! Really need advice with my 2001 explorer sport (2 door). I don’t drive it much at all, so it sits in the garage (sometimes for a few months). So I went to drive it into town and she fired right up, shifted smooth as butter into drive, but then when I hit the gas the engine just immediately stalled out on me. The truck barely even moved, and I tried several times, even holding the gas nearly to the floor. Put a new fuel pump and filter on it suspecting possible fuel related issue. Also fresh gas. Still no resolve. Could it be torque converter has gone bad ? Never had any hiccups with the drive train.. Any advice you have would be worth gold !!

So thank you, I'm a fulltime RR'ef and my Explorer drags my trailer, so getting stuck isn't an option.

Just did a road trip from Montreal to Orlando and by the time I got here the transmission was shifting so hard I had to put it in Sport to shift it manually! It was driving 10hrs straight highway, then we hit traffic in Orlando and the shifting between 2nd and third was so hard I thought it wasn't going to make it the rest of the way! Next day it was fine???? Sure my dealer is going to say there is nothing wrong as there was no codes when and if it makes it back to Montreal Friday.

Hello! Let me start by saying "Thank You" for ALL your videos! I've learned a ton of vehicle fixes & such from your videos! Keep it up! My Son has 2002 Explorer, with all the signs & symptoms of the typical servo problem & we also just completed a shift solenoid rebuilt pack. When all his shifting issues started, the 1st thing we tried was a typical Fluid & filter change. It seemed to prolong the issues, but never fixed it. After about 2 weeks of local driving, we completed the servo swap of both the OD servo & intermediate. We also did the solenoid swap at the same time. When we did the fluid change the 1st time, the trans fluid was damn near black!! Which was kinda expected! But now we're ready to instal some more new Mercon. Do I need to buy another new filter as well? I heard you mention contamination of the fluid? But the current fluid & filter have maybe 100 miles on them is all. What's your opinion? Is there any which that we could possibly clean the filter? Thanks for reading! ScubaSteve

Thanks for posting this video, it was well done and very helpful. Unfortunately I ran into an issue after the solenoid replacement and was hoping you might have an idea of what may have went wrong or what I can check. Quick background of car/issues and why I attempted the solenoid replacement: O/D light started months ago, followed a few months later by slipping going from 2nd to 3rd causing me to have to release gas pedal for it to shift. Went and got codes read: P0733, P0741, P0745 Milage: 185,000 I realize that the servo bore fix is likely needed as well, but I wanted to do this first and then that fix second. I watched the video countless times before attempting the replacement myself yesterday. I am very meticulous and followed each step perfectly(or so I thought) and didn't run into any trouble except for one snapped pan bold upon removal. I cleared the PCM with the alligator clips, and began to proceed with the shift "learning" process. I started her up to back it out of the garage. The shifter moved fine though every gear (P,R,N,D,3,2,1) however I didn't feel or hear any shifting going on and the car will not move. It revs and purrs great, just no shifting whatsoever. I can press the O/D switch on and off and it illuminates as normal now. Anything I can check or any idea of what might have happened during the solenoid swap that may cause this? Bad solenoid pack? Something in the solenoid pack connector? A fuse? I also replaced the trans filter, and used Mercon V from the links you included. Thanks for your time and any suggestions. -Bill

@maranathaman286 9 жыл бұрын

2006 Explorer 135K, several months ago it started jerking and almost lunging when putting into reverse (thinking valve body). Then in the last 3-4 weeks it began having difficulty shifting from 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th, would have to let off accelerator for it to shift (thinking solenoid pack). Got P0775 code the wrench light, but no engine light until last week with same code. Replaced solenoid pack and valve body, both remanufactured then reset PCM. It went into reverse without the jerk once, then it would shift into reverse, but wouldn't engage, it just revs up as if it were in neutral. It also shifts smoothly through 3rd now, but when it shifts into 4th nothing but the RPMs spiking, even from cold start. Also replaced filter and added 5-6 quarts of fluid. Fluid was dirty, but not burnt and there wasn't any brass or metal in passages of solenoid, valve body or pan other than small amount on magnet. Bad solenoid pack or another issue causing it to lose 4th/OD and making reverse act like neutral?

@maranathaman286 9 жыл бұрын

Randy Horn Update...put my original solenoid pack back in and now I have reverse, 4th and OD. Took it for extended 40 minute test drive and seemed to be shifting better and going into reverse smoother. Maybe just the valve body needed replacing? Will monitor for possible servo bore wear. Does the IM bore have any effect on reverse?

@hollyk913 9 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. I have a 2005 Explorer. We've had rough and delayed engagements into reverse and drive for a couple of years with no codes no OD light. After watching your vid, I decided to change out the solenoid pack. After filling with trans fluid, I started the vehicle to level off the fluid and immediately the OD light came on flashing. I continued with the procedure and test drove. Engagements were better but, the OD light continues to flash and it set a code. Code is P0706. Test drive indicated that all shifts were better than previous. I don't understand. Could I have gotten a defective pack? Possibly something else wrong? Did I miss something? Remember I had no trans codes prior to the pack replacement. I am leaning towards a defective pack as I did purchase this from ebay. If you have time relay your thoughts. Thanks.

Reverse is fine once car is warmed up. Could this solenoid pack be the cause? There are no check engine or trans lights on the dash. Fresh Mercon V was done about 3-4K ago. Drain & Fill not flush.

But the next day the OD started flashing again but this time service engine light came on. It didn't seem to mater if truck was hot or cold when OD flashed but it seems always at a lower speed. Pulled code 732, 735 and 750 of scan tool. Also noticed OD always seems to come on when I hit railroad track or a large bump in road. Not sure if related at all just an observation.

Hi FordTechMakuloco! I recently purchased a used 2002 Explorer with about 168k miles. The owner had the transmission replaced in 2010 with a rebuilt. I notice a bit of a late shift from 1st to 2nd gear, although no codes are showing. I'd like to get ahead of any problems (had I known of this transmission's reputation I would never have bought it!). I saw your video on the servo bore upgrade- would you recommend a solenoid pack replacement as well? I also see that there is a upgrade kit for this as well. In addition, it sounds as if there is a rattle coming from the torque converter. The mechanic told the previous owner this happens alot and not to worry- any thoughts? Thanks for your time and the awesome videos!

Hi, I have an 07 explorer 4.0 with the following intermittent codes P0750: Shift Solenoid "A" P0755: Shift Solenoid B Malfunction P0760: Shift Solenoid "C" P0765: Shift Solenoid "B" The awkward thing is that they come and go. I had to replace the solenoid block with a used unit about 4 months ago, because water collected over the connector and fried the pins along with the connector. This time around the connector is fine and there is no burnt smell. The codes come and go randomly and the transmission works flawlessly at times and sometimes get stuck on a single gear or shift between first and second. I want to know if there is something else I need to check before replacing the solenoid pack again. Any tips will be very welcome, because it is hard to believe that all codes will come and go if the solenoid pack is really faulty.

Question, I just purchased a 2003 Thunderbird with 65,500 miles on it. It had been sitting all winter and they had just put a new battery in it before I purchased it. The transmission was a little harsh during the test drive, but there was no shutter. I adjusted my offer price in preparation for trans work, so I knew this going into the purchase. My brother watched your video on how to check and add fluid, so he drained about a quart of fluid, mixed the Seafoam Transmission treatment in a quart of Type V trans fluid and added it to the transmission. I drove it about 150 miles and now I have some shutter. The fluid he drained was very clean and clear, no burnt fluid or metal flakes in the fluid. We're going to drop the center plug again today and confirm fluid level then do your relearn procedure. If this doesn't fix the problem, what could be the root cause?

wow this actually looks alot easier than i was expecting, i have a 03 that wont shift from second to third and the OD light starts to flash unless i start in second an get to about 30mph or 3,200ish RPM then shift to drive, i just ordered the new solenoid pack and a decent creeper to make it more comfy now i just need to find a full face respirator because i still have horror flashbacks from replacing a CV axel and smelling ATF....i though well surely if it smells that rancid my cars burning up its transmission but no actually the dirty fluid somehow smelled slightly better than the new fluid....

At the 9:20 mark when your done putting fluid in you are next seen shifting through the gears. It sounds as if the vehicle is not running. So after I put fluid in and cap it off do I shut off vehicle before I cycle through the gears or do I leave it running? Thank you so very much for your video. It's people like you who save people like me lots of money. 👍

I have a 2004 Ford Explorer XLT 4.6L. When I put gear into drive it had a delay. When it does go into gear it’ll go then rev. Will reverse good. Only do the delay and revs when I put it in drive. Do you have any idea of what’s going on?

Love the videos and insight. I have tried all parhways to find an answer maybe yiu can help me. I have a 2007 mustang 4.0 auto 5r55sTransmission went out and figured what it was after watxhing your video. Searvh around and bought a good. One from a 2010 salvage yard said it would work. in which it will not keeps throwing codes and barely moves. second transmission same result and then i am told fors made changes late 2006 and late 2007 and if i dont find that specific one year of 2007 i am screwed. what changes did ford make? Can i remedy the transmission i put in by using my year solenoid pack? Very frustrated and not happy with ford lately its been a nightmare. And. Alot of Money. i would appreciate any help

so basically to just change the fluid to new fluid you can take the t30 drain screw out let it drain out,put a line on with adapter and pump 4-5 quarts of fluid back in through the hole, start the car with the pressure on the line for like 10 mins then pull the line off and let fluid run to a drip then put the plug back in the drain hole turn off car drive away

is it possible that all the solenoids in the body fail at the same time? my trans never acted up, just 1 morning didn't want to move then it banged real hard and set off a bunch of codes. all codes saying that every solenoid in that body has failed. to me that has to be an odd chance for them to all fail at the same time, unless 1 failing would make the others also fail. but with leaning on the odd chance, I'm looking into electrical issues. I tried to take the plug out of the top but it was so bad and brittle that it broke and now I have to drop the pan to get the rest of it out. I was wondering if you know of any electrical issues that I should look into while I'm at this? thanks for your input and videos.

+William Pizzi I would check the harness on the trans and the bulkhead connector that plugs into the solenoid pack on the drivers side for corrosion. If everything checks out I would replace the solenoid pack as this is an electrical code.

98 ranger xlt 2.5L 4 cylinder rear wheel: Lurching shift from park to reverse accompanied by engine stall but does not die( died once) picks up again after shift complete maybe? Same when shifting from reverse to drive, not all the time usually if I don't give the truck a few minutes to warm up. occasional whine. I was convinced it was the transmission perhaps something to do with the torque converter or tcc solenoid. Transmission shop thought it was the Throttle body valve solenoid they changed it, did nothing. Wife's Grandpa thinks its fuel related( I don't get how that would cause the lurching) or maybe vacuum related. Unfortunately there is no tachometer on this truck.Thoughts?

The torque sequence link says 89 lb-in but you said 71 inch pounds in the video. Im thinking to go with what the link says. Im changing the solenoid pack on my 2008 mustang gt right now. It's like impossible for me to get that bolt out from the wire harness that leads into the solenoid pack from above the pass through. But you do it so easy like nothing. And im using the same wrench you recommended. Spent 40 minutes trying to get that bolt out. Im going to try again tomorrow morning.

Andrew Guerrero did you ever figure out exactly what was wrong? I have an 01 and after I start the engine, then shift into drive, I hit the pedal and the engine sounds like it’s smothering and it immediately dies. Doesn’t move forward more than a couple feet. I’ve replaced fuel filter and plugs/wires, but it’s baffling me what could be wrong.

New rebuilt trans from Moveras. Slow engagement into drive. Intermittently after warm up and you stop and shut off then restart will loose 2nd and sometimes 3rd. No trans codes, did tcm relearn, still no different. If you cycle key and restart sometime will correct the issue. Do have a P1000 code Any ideas?

Hello I have a question regarding my 2005 Explorer 4.0 V6. Transmission. When I'm accelerating I can feel it slip between 2nd and 3rd gear. It also feels like a harsh shift inro reverse. Then when slowing I feel a thump before stopping. This is happening once the truck hits operating temperature. If I'm in traffic I can feel a slight bump when ever I hit the gas or let it go. The only light on my dash is CHECK ADVANCETRAC and I don't know what that is?? Could you please help me.???

I got the bolt out, finally. After taking a break, I went back and found a solution. I broke a ratchet wrench down to about two inches long and it worked great. I got everything back together. I'll put the fluid in tomorrow and see if the solenoid pack was the problem. The transmission was clean as a pin inside. I cut the old filter open and it looked new. There was no metal on the magnet and I ran a really strong magnet through the fluid, that was left in the pan and got not one spec of metal. I guess that's a good thing. Thanks again and again, for your video - it was very helpful. The only thing I wasn't sure about was whether I was suppose to fill the solenoid pack with fluid. I didn't and I hope that's right. I didn't hear you mention it and found nothing on the Internet.

Thanks for getting back to me. Yes, I followed your fill instructions. Thanks! Replacing the solenoid pack did not fix the problem, however. I'm still getting the gear box error and it will not go in to overdrive. It really sucks. The car runs great and is in good shape; however, with the cost of rebuilding the transmission, I don't know what to do. I may just pull the running gear, suspension and other useful parts and junk the body. I can save the engine and suspension for when I build a kit car from Factory Five. Could it be something else, that an average mechanic can fix?

Do you think reloading the PCM might fix it? If so, do you clear the PCM, for a Jaguar, as shown in you video that you posted below - disconnect the negative battery cable and connect a jump from the positive to the negative cable? Could it be a Spring in the valve body? If so, do you have a video on rebuilding a valve body. I fear it's the planetary gear, which is probably out of my league.
