Found a copy of the owner's manual online...it holds 10 quarts total.
might be your transmission. you mite have low transmission fluid.
You do this by pouring transmission fluid into the tube that your transmission dipstick is in. To check for fluid level, drive the car for a few miles to make sure everything is warmed up, then park on a level spot, with the engine running, put the transmission in drive, then in reverse, then in park. With the engine still running, remove the dipstick and wipe it clean, and reinsert it, then remove it again and check the fluid level.
Through the automatic transmission fluid dipstick tube , at the back of your engine , slightly to the left ( looking from the front of the Explorer ) by the firewall
The transmission fluid for the automatic transmission is added through the automatic transmission fluid dipstick located to the passenger side of the engine near the firewall , use a funnel
On a 1995 Ford Explorer ( automatic transmission ) You use a funnel and add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube ( it is located in the engine compartment , by the firewall , towards the passenger side of the vehicle , where the transmission is bolted to the rear of the engine )
A 2003 Ford Explorer holds 16 quarts of transmission fluid in the pan and torque converter. Fluid levels can be checked via the dipstick in the engine compartment.
On a 1992 Ford Explorer : The automatic transmission fluid dipstick is on the right side ( passenger side ) of the engine , near the firewall ( the manual transmission fluid level is checked at the fill plug on the transmission , underneath the vehicle )
The automatic transmission fluid dipstick is on the passenger side of the engine by the firewall
The automatic transmission fluid dipstick should be near the firewall , in the engine compartment , just on the right side ( passenger side ) of the engine The manual transmission does not have a dipstick , the fluid level is checked underneath the 1993 Ford Explorer at the fill plug on the transmission
Its either in need of transmission fluid a fluid change or the bands are strechted
