i own a 1993 explorer xlt it has a 4.0 L V6 with an automatic transmisson.
the tranny seemed just fine the day i bought it it shifted smoothly and the only part that i have had to replace on my truck has been the power steering box. but about 3 days after i replaced the power steering box i was driving and tapped the gas a little harder than i normally would just to see how well my explorer could get up and go it did great but on my way back to the house i hit the gas again but from a stop and the truck jerked me back into my seat for about 2 seconds and then just would not go. i towed it back to the house with my parents tahoe. it starts up right away and the engine is still very very strong but when i put it into reverse it idles up but will not engage into gear. it does the same thing when i try to put it into drive or overdrive it idles up but will not engage into gear. i am really hoping that i do not have to replace the transfer case. i have also tryed engaging the 4 wheel drive high but it still wont run i have even tryed 4x4 low but still nothing. does anyone have any suggestions on what i could do? is it the transfer case or the whole tranny? because if its the whole tranny itself i might aswell just swap it to a manual lol.

 

how about tranny fulid and filter has that ever been changed

 

tranny fluid is full. i dont know where the filter is located lol. but im wondering what other things could be affecting the tranny

 

can u see mental shavings on the tranny dipstick?

 

Did you hear any unusual sounds from the tranny? I had one make a horrible breaking metallic sound when it went.

 

checked the dipstick and there are no metal shavings on it.

there wasnt any particular noise the tires squealed but it did sound like 2 pieces of metal that clashed together but it was only one bang and then it wouldnt run

 

sorry to say time 4 a tranny or rebuild good luck
