I have 02 explorer canged od servo and intermed servo cap blew off ?

The "let's try replacing this" method of vehicle repair is costly and often very frustrating. The best way is to take it to a transmission specialist, they hook up their scan tool computer and the diagnostics program communicates with modules and sensors and can also operate solenoids and servos to test them.

The vehicle does have a known history of this issue.

I am thinking that the extra 500 rpm's indicates that the od is not coming on and you are a gear short.. Run fault codes to check the od solenoid /servo or TCM problem. If it is a manual then it indicates a weak clutch pressure plate and there is slippage in the clutch system at speed . The hotter it gets the more the slippage results in the slower you go for increased rpm's.

run fault codes and look for a OD sensor/solenoid/ servo fault and problems with the TCM

Transmission gear assembly and transmission needs inspection.Also check the transmission fluid level.Also is the fluid getting leaked or its low.

There are few very helpful links with solutions to troubleshoot these problem.

Band adjustment is very sensitive on these units, I set both adjustments at one turn. This is a 4 speed trans that has been converted to a 5 speed by turning on the od unit ( 1-2 shift ) in first gear.the 2-3 shift is busy because the od band is coming off causing the od unit to transfer back to 1:1 and the intermediate band is coming on . I have found that if the overdrive band is to loose it will release to fast causing a flare on the 2-3 shift bot not really affecting the 4-5 (overdrive) shift. So break both band adjustments loose and tighten the adjustment screw down and back off 1 turn the tighten jam nuts. Also the fluid level should be checked with the transmission warm ( 100 f , not hot, not cold) and the fluid should stream out of the check tube. Transgo makes a really nice vb kit that i use that will help these symptoms.

I have seen pressure problems caused by the solenoid pack and also a lot of broken servos. VERY COMMON

On the passenger side of the trans there are two servos.A servo is a steel piston with rubber lip seals bonded to the steel.The servo piston strokes in or out,applying or releasing a band.There are two servos,each hidden behind circular aluminum covers held into the case with snap rings.The rear servo actuates the 2nd gear band,and the front servo actuates the 4th gear,or O.D. band.The rubber lip seals on the servo pistons are soft and pliable when new,but with hot and cold cycles,and years of use,the rubber hardens and doesnt seal very well,causing loss of gears.It is very possible the servo has hardened,and that's why you are losing 4th.The other possible cause is electronic.This trans,the A4LD has 2 electrical solenoids inside the trans,4th gear solenoid and lockup solenoid.These are the ONLY electronics inside the trans,another possible problem area.I would remove the servos first for inspection,but before removal,take a scribe and scratch into the aluminum covers,"F" on the front one,and "R" on the rear one.These servos are different diameters,and MUST go back where they came out of.On the servo covers you will see cast into the covers 2 letters identifying the servo it requires....AB.....BB.....ZC...etc.These are examples,and yours will likely be AB and BB.If you DIY....use plenty of vaseline on the rubber lip seals,and the servo bores, to prevent cutting the new servo seals and O rings.Good luck.

there is an sensor on the speed odmeter cable on the side of transmission. it will kill thr overdrive and cruise control but not the speedometer. about $50.fixed 2 explorers that way
