instructions so bear with me. Ok this is a long story but I'll try and
cut it down. Back in this past May I bought a '92 4.0L Explorer with
roughly 108k miles on it. I needed something cheap that would be able

I have determined that the vacuum modulator is defective (tranny fluid in
the vacuum hoses) and have a replacement ($37.50) to install.
I removed the passenger seat and console and peeled the carpet up to expose

accelerating in 1st gear but it won't allow engine breaking to decelerate
on decents. It seams like it is in neutral when no gas is applied, ...

My problem is an intermitting problem with my clutch. Occasionally I will
have a problem getting it into 1st gear and difficult 2nd. Other times

My '05 Limited has the optional reverse sensors in the back bumper.
There is a switch on the left side of the steering column that turns
