Re: Tranny problem?

I have that same problem with my 97 mountaineer. As soon as I hit 45/50, the tranny either make that noise, slips and I have to baby shift it by letting off the gas lightly, or just sits at 3500 rpm and shifts VERY hard. My mechanic said to have the tranny replaced or serviced. Its possible the rings need to be adjusted. Because it has 107,000 on it and is AWD, he suggested I buy either a rebuild tranny or new one. The rebulit is MUCH cheaper, $1,500 and has a 50,000 mile warentee. Because I'm 16, I don't have the money, but I do know a bit about cars. And ford trannys in the 97/98 mountaineer/explorer aren't the best. Best of luck to you!
