[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1016620, member: 52972"] That was a problem with some 2003/2004 model Sport Trac because the factory installed the wrong fluid??? (go figure?) Ford did a recall of the effected vehicles and had dealers ad a friction modifier to the transmission to replace what the factory did not install. At least that's what they claim the problem was? I have not heard of many Gen-2 transmission problems but there has been a history of problems with the Explorer/Sport Trac transmission. The 5 speed is just an upgrade of the 4 speed, and the 6 speed is also the same tranny with another gear added. The tranny is a weak design going all the way back to the mid 1990's. If you decide to get a rebuild tranny, don't go to Ford...there are a number of tranny rebuilding shops that offer upgraded, heavy duty rebuild trannys for all generations of the Sport Trac..even racing transmissions. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
