Good evening house, I recently bought a Ford Explorer sport Trac. The car moves fine but the gear selection wasn’t smooth especially putting the gear in reverse, it makes a sound and also when u put it in drive.

When driving as the automatic gear moves from gear 2 to gear 3 it makes a sound like it’s being forced.

The gear mechanic said the gear has to be changed however after changing the gear, the same thing happens and it’s even worse. Please any idea or solution?

Firstly, you have made a mistake for not consulting a specialist for advice and inspiration before purchase, but we won't hammer on that
Secondly, there's no one like gear mechanic when it comes to FORD.

So clearify what year model and engine capacity is your explorer Sport Trac before I can help, but you will still need to bring it to Femtop Ford workshop (Lagos or Abuja) because my attention here is limited, I'm intensively busy with my customer's Ford repairs.

The transmission of this model is easier to handle than the 4.6L which carries the continuous variable chain transmission. Now how will you mechanic in Ph understand my language because the problem that the transmission is having with the sound at shift selection is torque and speed ratio cause by relative information from the ckp sensor and simultaneousl tss /iss /oss.
So DM

Femtopford:
Sultaan, if you want to buy, just check it out on different sites, you will get a closer range.

I do have one I plan to use, and all the ones I had seen were the European ones.

Have you had to service some at your shop, so I have someone to service when needed

I believe that you are the one I answered on DM. Like I said, Taurus is an excellent car. I also have the same 2013 Taurus, I always use it in Abuja when ever I I visit my workshop there. In fact I like it more than my other cars. Very balance on high speed than other Ford , convenient to depress the accelerator at will, excellent take off, higher and fater speed selection, etc etc.

This wouldn't be vouched for. Even those ones that we have in the workshop, without proper and close supervision of an extremely competent Automobile technologist, all the customers would have run away from your workshop. I repeat " EXTREMELY COMPETENT" not just claiming to know and just putting diagnostic machines on cars. Diagnostic machines will rectify nothing on your vehicles. Take it or you leave it.

What do you advise? I actually don't want a mistake, as i have had a terrible experience with a workshop when I had a Nissan xtrail.
I am outside lagos though.

You're not in Lagos and Abuja. That's outside our coverage. You need to manage those mechanics around you. Half of the problems could still be dealt with by using the real and genuine spare parts, no compromise.

Okay, thanks so much.
Where is the best place to source for the parts? Ladipo?

Check Jiji and other places in Lagos

Femtopford:
Absolute NO ! , You are instantly wrong. the brother will not be too ignorant not to differentiate when interior heater vent is on compared to interior ambient, irrespective of upper windscreen, facial or leg vent.

Aside this, the incoming breeze from the vent valve, either low or high speed is enough justification.

Just saw this and I think his cats are heating up the interior

Femtopford:
Definitely.

I am looking for steering pump(manual) of Ford Edge 2008.
