CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.

grinding going from 2 to 3 gear
I have been reading that early 2000 model Explorers are known for transmission problems. Does anyone know if there is a simple fix or has anyone had this problem. I cannot afford a new transmission... Help.
