in november of 2011 i took my 96 explorer in to have the transmission rebuilt .in feb of 2012 the overdrive solinoid quit working,i took it in for warrentee work and had a shift kit installed at the same time,i was charged $120 for a service special,$70 for a shift kit and $57 for misc repairs.i noticed a mild vibration when accellerating that i attributed to something else. early this fall it felt like something was binding up when i tried to take off,i thought might be a brake caliper but could find nothing wrong,as it got more frequent and harsher i thought it was the rearend. i took it to tri county and took a service man for a short ride and it didnt do what it had been doing .we agreed that it was probably the rearend and i should make an apointment to have it checked.i drove it home and transmission warning light came on and reverse went out.the warranty on the rebuild was for 12mos or 12,000 miles i am over the mileage by a bit, but under on time.i lost my reciept and tom cant find my service records on his computer.if i could prove i was under on mileage tom said he would honor the warrantee otherwise he would work with me.i feel a rebuilt transmission ought to be good for more than 15000 miles so i am not comfortable with doing any further business with these people..
