* 4R70W (4-speed automatic): This was the most common transmission for the 1995 Explorer, regardless of engine size (4.0L V6 or 5.0L V8).
* M5OD-R2 (5-speed manual): This manual transmission was a less common option, typically found only on the 4.0L V6 engine.
Therefore, to know *exactly* which transmission is compatible, you must identify the engine in your specific vehicle. Once you know the engine, you'll know which transmission it originally used, and then you can research compatible replacements (keeping in mind that the year and condition of the replacement transmission is crucial).
Replacing a transmission is a complex job best left to professionals unless you have extensive mechanical experience.
