Calling all Mechanics!!!!!!!!!
I have a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport 4X4 and it seems that my tranny is slipping. When I am accelerating slow or fast and it is about to change from 3rd to 4th(it is automatic) the RPM's rev up another 500-1000 rpms then drops back to where it is suppposed to be and then it goes into gear. Now when it changes it is smooth no clucking or sounds.
Another thing is does is if I am driving on the highway 100km/h or 60mph and then hammer the gas down it normally shifts down a gear so that it can accelerate faster like everyone elses vehicle. Well when it attempts to shift down it falls into neutral and the rpms rev out. I take my foot off the accelerater and it goes back into gear and drives fine.
I am going to take it in to have someone take a look at it..but I was hoping that someone here might give me some insite as to what the problem may be. The warrenty is over now and I don't want to get screwed.
Thanks for any help you can give me in advance
