95 EXPLORER TRANS. FILTER AND FLUID CHANGE

I think your Shift key is stuck in the "on" position.

GETS DONE AND I TEST RIDE, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THE O/D OFF LIGHT FLASHES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 3 CHANGES. THE FIRST CORRECTED ITSELF IN

what is a shift key?

It's in front of you and shifts the keyboard betwixt uppercase and lowercase..... the usual problem, however, lies with the "capslock" key and you have gone to the other extreme which is all lower case letters..... not much easier to understand but at least we don't feel like we're being shouted at.

The problem starts with the very first time you performed the service and gets worse every subsequent time. The transmission presented you with symptoms that went ignored..... the flashing OD light indicated DTCs were stored.... and the transmission slipped. Possibly related to fluid choice or fluid level..... Servicing the transmission annually sounds like overkill even in severe service conditions.... what was the fluid like, was the fluid level checked after the post service road test?

Sadly, this stuff isn't self-healing..... if the light goes out, it usually signifies the calm before the storm...

We'll at least need fluid level and condition and any stored DTCs to even begin a logical diagnostic process...
