Transmission help 02 explorer?
I have an 02 4.6 L V8 Ford explorer and the transmission went out. It won't go to 3rd 2nd or 1st gear doesn't reverse or drive and when I shift it to park it makes a loud rattling noise. I was driving it on the highway when it started to just jump forward and the speedometer suddenly went to 120. I pulled over and when I went to drive it again it wouldn't budge. Do I have to replace the entire transmission or is it just a part in the transmission that I have to fix?
You are looking at a transmission rebuild. Listen, with the time and effort involved in removing and opening up the transmission it just doesn't make sense to do a minimal repair for say $1,000.00 leaving metal shavings and a bunch of worn parts when $1,500.00 will get you a complete rebuild with a warranty.
Will need rebuilt. No shop will take the transmission apart and just replace part worn or broken. They will do complete rebuild and give you a warranty. You could go to a junkyard and get decent used transmission to save money and either do it yourself or have a shop install it. Now if you buy the transmission and want shop to install it and that transmission goes during the junkyard warranty the shop will charge labor again since you supplied the part.

If you plan on keeping the explorer then your best bet is find a good low mileage transmission from the junk yard or have your transmission rebuilt! But no transmission will go that far tearing it apart and replacing one part! If you check around you might find a rebuilt transmission at a reasonable price!
- Will a Ford Explorer transmission exchange for a ranger transmission? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 with a 4.0 engine. The truck needs a new transmission and I was wondering if a transmission from a 2002 ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 will bolt up to the explorers.

- My transmission has failed due to a recalled part does Ford have to replace the whole transmission or just the recalled part? I have a 2005 Ford Freestar minivan one night when I was driving home the transmission went out on it while I was on the highway. After doing some research we found that the torque converter is a recalled part on this model. If the torque converter is the reason for the transmission failure does Ford have to replace my whole transmission as well or just the torque converter?
- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
