Ford Explorer won't Shift (automatic)?

Ford Explorer won't Shift (automatic)?

Added (1). So my car has been having an issue for a while. I have an automatic 1999 ford explorer. When I accelerate (like pedal to the floor) the car gets up to 2500 rpm but doesn't feel like it shifts gears and just stays at 2500 rpm VERY slowly accelerating. Also going up hill I floor it and it does the same thing, just sits and 2500 rpm and doesn't shift or anything as it slowly looses speed (to which I'm still flooring it). Any thoughts on the issue anyone?

Solenoids or solenoid pack inside the transmission has likely failed or it coule be a simple transmission control relay failure. See the transmission guy.

You can get a code reader and check for codes. It will all likely pertain to transmission failures.

  • My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift into fourth gear is it ok on a 700 mile round trip drive? I have a 2000 ford Taurus and it doesn't shift into fourth gear anymore. Its been that way for 2 years. It runs fine just doesn't shift into fourth gear and the transmission light does come on after a while of driving it. I was wondering if it would be ok to take it on a 700 mile round trip drive? I know its not good for it I just need to know if I'm going to be stranded on the highway somewhere because my trans went out.
  • My 2000 Ford Taurus won't shift from neutral to reverse or neutral to park? Its curently in neutral but the steering colum shifter will go down to drive or drive 2 and will go back to neutral, but then it stops so I can't back up or park the car.since it doesn't go into park, I can't even take the keys out of the ignition. Any ideas?
  • 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
