2001 Sport Trac 4.0 V6 4X4 auto transmission. 177K
Out of the blue, it started acting up for my wife a couple days ago.
Said reverse wasnt working.
& when I went out, it did.
(thought it was her & not the truck)
2 days later.... no reverse at all.
Tested it when it was warm when she got home last night & told me.
& Also numerous times after it got cold.
No change.
All other gears work just fine.
Only thing I didnt check, was to put it in 1st & see if it would engine brake at speed.
(did a bunch of searching & reading last night & read that)
Never noticed any problems in Any gear before, or grinding, or hard shifting etc
& No its not low on fluid! haha
No difference in 4X4 High or Low or 2WD
So in simple terms.
What am I looking at?
Yes I know it can be a whole Slew of things.
But mostly what I read had more problems then just no reverse.
Possibilities of it being an easy, only have to drop the pan to replace a part fix?
or professional shop?
Worth just getting a Good used trans & just having them swapped?
Or just sell it to someone else to fix & get another vehicle?
& last.
what transmission is in this truck?
The 5R55E???
just so I know which specific trans to ask for when calling around for a Possible replacement.
Thank you
