3.0l V6 A/T. What are the possible problems associated with an automatic transmission not shifting correctly?

can I buy the makers name?????? is this HARD?
transmission swap topics?
a FORD ? this?? no VIN posted.
Ford. Explorer Sport Trac ... 4.0L V6 Gas (210hp), Automatic, 4X4.
tell what is wrong first, 4wd is complex.
interchange is wrong word
you're not moving parts 2 direcions, same time,.

just one way so say what
my wild guess is this is and A/T box. all mine are M/T
see?
and A/T boxes must fit and not make the TCM go mad.
A/t box must be setup for 4wd,
the a/t box must have the right gear ratios or the TCM will go nutz

A/T bad, what a/t is it , would be the first question
answer 5R55E
THE E MEANS TCM ELECTRONICALLY SHIFTED
And means must be the correct gear ratios and fit correcly
to learn what fits ask any transmission builder seller on the web.
vast exist.
and will tell you the exact sub mode is a match

wiki words of advice

introduced in the 1998 model year, other variants of the 5R55 transmission appeared. All variants are fundamentally similar to each other in design but differ in things such as specialized controls, gear ratios, or other elements based on the needs of the specific application the transmission is intended for."

including 4wd tail end, bell sizes , mounts. too.
the book on the transmission (only) is clear on this.

ask them what fit right and shifts correctly ?
or others.

You do have a problem then. Slow reverse engagement can be the sign of a failing transmission. Use reverse as little as possible under as light a load as possible. If you have never changed the fluid and filter in the transmission do that as well, it may help. Also verify the fluid level is correct hot fluid check.

If automatic most likely lingage between transmission and shift lever. possible bushings associated with and possibley the shift lever pivot bushing if it's "sloppy". Similar if, Standard but could be broken shift fork inside transmission.

If it goes into gear correctly it's not the linkage. I.e drive reverse etc. I would suspect a pressure issue in the trans for the high shift rpm. Possibly low pump pressure or a valve body issue. The high idle could be a result of this or possibly a sticking cable if it has cruise. Possible vacuum issue also.

P0731 Ford - Incorrect First Gear Ratio
Possible causes
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

p0732 Gear 2 Incorrect ratio
Possible causes
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty Shift Solenoids
- Shift Solenoids harness is open or shorted
- Shift Solenoids circuit poot electrical connection
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

Start by inspecting the transmission oil level and condition, and change fluid if necessary.

also check OUTPUT SHAFT SPEED OSS for proper installation and function

hope this helps

i would change the ****** filter see if that fixes the problem!

With high mileage automatic transmissions, that have not been regularly replacing the transmission oil, it can cause major problems if you do change the oil. The sealing integrity in the valve block can be lost by flushing with new oil,
Firstly, just check and make sure the oil level is correct. Do this by running the engine, with your foot on the brake, go through all the shift positions 2-3 times, holding in those positions for a few seconds each time. Then put into park , still with the engine running, and check the oil level . if its a little low, add a small amount at a time till you get the correct level, each time going through the shift positions and then checking.

On the side of your transmission will be a switch with several wires coming out of it. This is your reverse switch that turns on your reverse lights and most likely needs to be replaced
