Transmission problem
2002 Ford Explorer V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 155000 miles
Okay i bought this truck yesterday for $2000 bucks with known tranny problems. The guy i bought i from says he put his computer on it and got these codes; "P1700 which is Trans Intermediate Fault and P0745 which is Trans pressure control solenoid".
My questions:
What do these codes mean?? Can this unit be repaired?? Should i rebuild this unit or put in a used unit?? I found a used tranny locally for $750 with 54000 miles on it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

155k on a Ford trans, it is probably done.The control solenoid is inside the trans and will cause it to burn up if not working properly.A low mileage used unit would probably be a good idea. Be sure to flush or replace the trans cooler before installing new one

Thanks for the response. Would i be better off having it rebuilt?? If i went that route i would get a warranty. Thanks.

Probably gonna be a couple thousand. Call around for estimates is your best bet.
