What Causes Transmission Jerking in Ford Explorer?
1 Answers
The root cause of transmission jerking in Ford Explorer is the damage to internal buffer plates and valve body, which leads to symptoms like jerking and impact. If the buffer plate is severely fractured, the broken pieces can cause wear and tear on other mechanical components inside the transmission during normal operation. This results in mechanical failure of the Ford Explorer's 6F35 transmission. The issue can be resolved by repairing or replacing the damaged parts. Common transmission problems in the Explorer include: 1. Oil Leakage: Transmission oil leakage. 2. Lack of Power: Delayed gear engagement, sluggish acceleration. 3. Jerking: Jerking during startup, but normal above 80 mph. 4. Sudden Lurch Forward: After braking, pressing the accelerator causes a sudden lurch forward. 5. Gear Slippage: Jerky gear shifts, sudden gear slippage when going uphill, which may resolve after restarting.
