Ok, here's the deal. The transmission in my mom's explorer started acting up today. From a stop it slips badly, hardly moving. Once it starts moving, it still slips a little bit, but not much. I was able to drive it home. I checked the fluid, and it was low, so I filled it up with the same result in driving it. I'm assuming that it is dead as a doornail, but wanted to make sure there isn't anything I should check before I spend my mom's money on another transmission that they can't really afford right now.
Also, would there be any benefit to replacing the stock tranny with one out of a 99+ like there would be for our cars? And would the electronics need to be altered (repinned, etc.) like our cars to use a newer one in the explorer? Has anyone does anything similar before? Wiring diagrams?
Please respond quickly, because I can't afford to have any down time with this. I'll probably start taking the old tranny out tomorrow and get a low mileage used one on Monday when the yards open to put back in it.
Thank you in advance,
