automatic transmission

So I bought a remanufactured transmission from shiftright. It's in a 2002 ford explorer sport trac 4x4 with the 5r55e transmission. Removal and reinstall went smoothly. But I took it for a test drive and noticed my speedometer is off. Like way off. I'm going 20 and its reading 80, that level of...

I have a 5R55E transmission that has been slipping out of first gear, almost into neutral it seems, and I have to remove my foot from the gas, and let it clunk back into gear, then it's fine. It only will do this when the transmission fluid is warm, only once, then drive with no symptoms. Or if...

Whenever you put it in gear and try revving it up to help it into gear, if it actually tries, the engine will bog down for a second and it'll just slip immediately out of gear. And it'll do this every time, no matter if you in reverse, drive, 2,1. Its the same reaction to every gear. I took a...

It appears my transmission went out going up one of the biggest hills around where I live. And behind me was a huge trail of smoke. The entire way up my transmission kept slipping over and over again, but it'd get back into gear. It finally made it all the way up and over, and I just coasted...

Hello, first off if this is in the wrong section i apologize. I realize it is modified once I do the swap but I need info on what these cars came with stock. So... Someone in the 3rd gen sections said I should try and post here as well. It appears the 02 sports are more similar to the 2nd gens...

Last Thursday during Rush-Hour Traffic on my way home, a noise (metal on metal) & as I jerked the wheel to enter the Suicide-Lane the truck skidded to a halt suddenly. With engine running still, I did a walk-around inspection & found no physical damage or leaks. Engaging Reverse, truck would...

Hi guys, My Mercury Mountainer V6, AWD, 4.0 L., SOHC, Transmission 5-Automatic(5R55S) has been performing some strange in the automatic transmision. The efects are next: 1.- High RPMs for transitioning from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd speed. I push the accelerator in normal way (I dont...

I turned left onto a freeway entrance ramp, and out of the blue, when I stepped on the gas after the turn, it was like I was in neutral...engine revs but not forward gear. I pulled to the side, tried L, 2 and Drive and still no forward gear...tried reverse and got the same response. I checked...

I am looking for advice on what I could try. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. It has 130k on it and has never had transmission issues or slips. Suddenly the flashing overdrive light came on and it won't start out in drive. It will start and run in 2nd and reverse like normal. If...

Okay, I need to tighten the bands on my 92 ex and am wondering if I can do it without tearing the tranny apart. If I can do this under my truck in my garage with no jackstands and a torque wrench how do i do it and what is the correct way, pictures help. Thanks, also socket sizes might help too.

I have a 1991 ford explorer 4x4 all standard. With an automatic transmission. I travel everyday in the highway which is 70 mph. I mostly go 65 mph and my rpms stay at 3,000 rpms if I stay at that speed. 55 mph is 2,500 rpms. Is this normal? Increase speed rpms increase. 70 mph 3,500 rpms. I...

'91 explorer 2wd. i've finally got back to my no 4th gear problem. after insuring voltage to the solenoids, i pulled the pan and found that the cast "block" that the end of the adjuster goes into is missing in action. i can see the intermediate band adjuster, but the 4th was just the end of...

Hi everyone i just recently bought a 1997 SOHC X with 150k on the clock. The past few days it feels as if the transmission is sticking in first gear when i take off from a standing start. This mainly happens once i have been driving for 30 kms or so. Has anyone experienced this? Any...

I'm installing a new 4r55e into my '97 explorer. Tranny tech told me that it should take up to 11-12 qts of atf. He said to not to remove the TC and just install the tranny and put 5qts in the tranny and crank it up (he said this will fill the TC), then add as needed. I have since 5 1/2 more qts...
