2002 ford explorer

this is my 2002 4x4 ford explorer that has 134,384 miles, the motor is the 4.6l v8 the model is an xlt sport. I'm having some problems with the trans. it jerks when it shifts and when you put it into resverse it has a clunking sound.

this truck needs a trans now at 167000 miles, i just changed the whole coolant intake in sept. 09 and now the trans lost 2nd and 5th gear.

..after 15min it started working again and gears changed with no problem..again next day at 5.30pm same shit and no brake lights workn..i went to ford and they wanted$400 to diagnose and fix..i said fuck that and went to lordco and picked up part for under $20 and did it myself..no probs so far.

started having problems aswell...brake light switch is faulty..has problems going into park or into gear from park sometimes..what i did was i went underneath steering columm and plugged the gear release so it always shifts. and then i found out it was the brake light switch.underground parking i was pushing on the brakes hard and didnt notice the lights at all and it wouldnt shift

I have a Black 2002 Ford explorer XLT with 68,000 miles on the OD and I've been a happy owner. No complains here! And about the transmission problems, just change the fluid and filter and stop crying.

I also have a 02 Explorer. Mine does the exact same thing ever since i bought it. and i bought it with 48,000 and it currently has 108,000. So the trans. is fine, its just the characteristic of the 3rd gerneration Explorers.

i have a ford explorer just like that, with the 4.6L V8 as well and i had the same problems. it would jerk shifting gears, clunk into reverse, and it got gradually worse. you will most likely start seeing the O/D Off light start flashing on and off. it only gets worse from there. you need to have the tranny replaced. thats what i did and it was well worth the $3000. the explorer is a tough truck and you'll be glad to get it back into performance shape

u might just need to get a new tranny thats what i had to do with mine at 200,000 miles but its worth the money to get the tranny replaced cause the explorer is such a great truck
