Ok well now I cant get the other trans flywheel to spin to get to my TC bolts. Could really use some help.

Got the trans out last night with a little help. But glad to know it wasnt as hard as I thought it'd be and I feel like I can do it again.

Hey Brooklyn update I got the old trans out and only had to seperate the center portion of the crossmember from the frame portion that houses the torsion bar and its adjustment screw.

Welcome aboard:bounce:

Thanks I ended up using the pointed/flat end of a lug wrench and pushed it with little resistance after I dropped the driveshaft. Now my problem is trying to figure out if I have to drop the entire crossmember to get the tranny to tilt back. The way my exhaust runs it looks like I am because my...

Before I do this though shouldnt putting my tranny in gear and spinning my rear wheel while having the other one secured be spinning my TC/FW as well? Btw 2wd open diff

Hey since you guys are talking 5r55e can anyone tell me how I can get my torque converter to spin without turning the engine over( I have no battery).

Also are these instructions to be followed in order or are they in random order?

From looking at the one I viewed it was made out of less filler material but I also relooked and found out that it wont fit my trans anyway.

I am definitely preparing to take the task on and appreciate the help I can use all that I can get. Would you recommend a lighter flexplate I have heard they have some benefits? Do you know of any?

I have a stock 2000 Explorer XLT and I am running tires that are 32.1 inches overall and I only rub on a small part of my wheel well but it doesn't bother me nor is it enough to damage my tire or wheel well...(noticeably). As far as your offset you should be fine although I cant tell you from...

No I have RWD.Ive been looking into doing it for a while but it seems pretty daunting its hard to find a video on someone removing a 5R55E from an Explorer.

Yeah I've been through some ups and downs with my explorer but now im ready to get her back on the road and running good. First step is trying to put in a new transmission that I have. Never replaced a transmission but am pretty mechanically inclined so should be able to figure it out with a...
