Yes, they use a MLPS. check it for codes and see there are any faults recorded.
According to this site: http://www.explorerforum.com/ntrprize/spec1996.htm this has a 4R55E and not a 4R70W. I believe that this tranny is a "upgrade" of the A4LD. I won't even go into what I think about the A4LD at this time, but I also believe the "E" at the end of the model number means it is electronicaly controled. Thus, I will deduce that there is probably some type MLPS on the transmission. Since it is an electronic transmission, you can usually get a transmission shop to do a free "quick" diagnostic on it by connecting to the OBDII and taking it for a spin. This could tell you if it is an electronic component (maybe).

New 4.5 rear IRS hub option?
Drive TrainNot sure if any of you have seen this, but this would make the rear hub swap much more affordable. I was going to re-drill my purchased hubs, but @99.95, I'd rather have new with zinc coating. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3112023088857578&id=124289350964315- 3

5R55E Swap
Drive TrainMaybe I'm just dreaming here, but that's why I'm asking. I've been driving my dad's '99 Explorer for the last few days and I really love it, specifically the tranny. The five-speed auto does a great job of keeping the SOHC 4.0L V6 in it's powerband, and it is sweet to get on it and a shift only...- 7

Who can't leave the O/D button alone?
Drive TrainI was wondering who uses overdrive (O/D) when driving around town (speeds under 55). I am always flipping the O/D button depending where I am driving. Does it cause wear to the trans. if the O/D is disabled for extended times. At constant highway speeds I always enable the O/D.- 50
