91 Ford Explorer Transmission Problem
Hi all,
My '91 Ford Explorer is having some transmission problems. I noticed over the past couple months that when I shift from 'park' to 'O' that it took the transmission a second or two to engage instead on engaging instantly. Then the other day I was driving and while pulling out into the street and merging with traffic then transmission dis-engaged from the engine and the engine rpm increased. I downshifted into the '2' gear and the transmission re-engaged. I headed back home because of this and then the tranamission disengaged again from the '2' gear. I shifted again to the '1' gear where I slowly drove back home. Anyone know what may be the problem? Are there any adjustments I can make or does it sound like I am screwed and need another one?

You are probably screwed, but at least have the fluid and
filter changed.

I've noticed similar type problems in 2 Ford Escorts ('91 & '00) Sometimes shifting back to park or neutral, then back to drive works. I believe it was a clutch problem, so you could check that as well. I am not a mechanic. -- ************************************************** ************************** R.I.P.

Well, the Escorts have a Mazda-made transmission, whereas I believe the Explorer has a Ford transmission made in France. I would be surprised if any parts, or problems, were shared between the two. -- -Stephen H.
