2002 Explorer Transmission work

[mustang_revival]

Coworker of mine is looking to get some work done on his 2002 Explorer.

Apparently the issue is somewhat common with these, so he is hoping to find a local mechanic with some experience to perform this work for him.

He is in Carrollton, TX - The truck is just shifting hard, so he would be able to travel.

Please PM if you can do this work, I'll send his contact info.

Thanks

Had a friend that fought this for about 6 months and finally gave up and bought a Ford crate tranny. An independent shop did the work and cost 3k total with a 100k mile waranty.

If he drops the Tranny himself I know a guy that will fix it for a good price
