Gonna lay it all out there in hopes someone could point me to what i should check to make sure the 4R55E is the problem child or if another part of the drive train could be causing this issue. Bought from a fam member and within the first 40 miles, the slip yoke snapped the U joint. No big deal...

Greetings, does anybody have experience with the SP Precision Xtreme Performance 4R55E? My '95 Ex 4x4 needs a new trans and this one is much cheaper than the Motorcraft. It says it is built to take more power then stock. I assume it would be fine on my stock '95? If anybody knows anything about...

I've got a 95 XLT 4.0 OHV 4x2, and the O/D light is blinking and it won't shift into overdrive. It didn't start flashing the O/D off light until one day when I was pulling a trailer with only a push lawn mower in it.

Hi guys, my 1995 v6 4.0 automatic ranger was slipping 2-3 and no engine brake in 1 or 2 manual gears. Did the Transgo shift kit repair; I´m positive I did every step correctly. Checked ohms in every solenoid and they were fine; changed the EPC solenoid anyway, still got correct ohm reading...
