The Explorer trannies from these early years (like my '94) are complete
pieces of crap. I've heard very few cases of people happy with them. If
you go and get another one installed, make sure that's it's been rebuilt and
all recommended upgrades have been done to it. That's what I had to do with
mine. It cost $2000 to rebuild it with all the new upgraded parts, but it
works great. Getting a used one will eventually end up giving you the same
problem.

What sort of "recommended upgrades" are you speaking of
