1995 explorer limied ed. transmission failing
i am looking for some ideas on transmission repairs, i have just experienced
some slippage in reverse and forward at low speed. i got the fluid and filter changed and found a small metal chip in the pan. should i be looking to rebuild this tranny at 238 k or should i try to find a replacement at a wrecker for approx 1000 cdn. also how can i troubleshoot transmission. thanks for ideas |
