Transmission and Transfer Case Specs by year

**Tbars4** · 09-13-2007, 11:45 PM

...other charts i have looked up say, and as in my post #28, all i could find was haynes says 4r55e for the '95 and '96 years only...

thank you

i have a 1986 B2 with the Mazda transmission and i was woundering if you can take the older mazda transmission and replace it? any help would be nice

*Lefy* · 01-03-2008, 11:12 AM

hey all
I was wondering if anyone new the low range ratio of the
BW4405?? On the spec page here it says 2.48:1
I'm pretty sure thats what I have
underneath it read "Torque on Demand" and "AOD" If I remember right, I'd go outside and check but it's 10 degrees out

it's electronic shift and the nob has Auto, 4x4high, 4x4low
In auto it sends some (very little like at most 20%) power to the front

but yeah I have the SOHC 4.0 5R55E and open 4:10s

1st gear is the trans is: 2.47
Axle ratio is: 4.10
I believe the Transfer case low is: 2.48
On pirate4x4.com I have read that the torque convertor can mulitiply the ratio up as well. On the site they used a 2.5 value for the convertor don't know if it's true or not??

so multiplying those values I have a: 62.78:1 which is alright for 33s and the wheeling I do.

but with a 1354/54 stubler would give me a: 2.48x2.48= 6.15/1
which would give me a 155.7:1 ratio

now that would be nice but would that be too low for my auto?? and over power the brakes? if so I guess I could always put it in neutral to stop.

Any ideas...?

Is it the Borg Warner 1354?

Road2Rage · 12-09-2008, 02:20 AM

I looked at my door code and it says "D" for the transmission and it says I have an open diff. 3.73 axle. 1997 Explorer XL. I had it on a hoist and it seems like a posi diff, plus my transmission is only a 4 speed auto. 1-2-D+OD. How do I know for sure which trans. I have. I think it`s shot. (Makes a loud winding sound and I lose my gears.) Actually I normally lose just reverse, but now I lose my forward gears while I`m driving. The only way to get around it is to put it in 4x4 low...then all the gears work. I`m so confuzzled :s

Has anyone figured this out yet?

I am looking to do the same thing, "IF" it will work.

Direct Bolt up?

Drive shaft diff?

5th gear problems?

Throw codes? If it does, how do you correct it?

Basically I am trying to figure out if I get a 5R, and I have a 4R, if it is worth beefing up over pulling mine out and being down till it is finished being worked on.

I have a 97 2dr 5 spd manual with control trac. the auto wreckers say their will be a tag on the t-case that says either CA, RA or GA. Where would this tag be? I have the T-case disengaging under deceleration problem. Trans, clutch and diffs are working fine. Thx

Hello all,

I want to do a fluid change on our Explorer and I can't find any information on this model. First, is it a valid model no or am I reading it wrong. Secondly, I was thinking about just draining the exisiting fluid and just pumping new fluid into the level check port on the drain plug. I know this is not a through change, but we dont tow anything except occassionally a bass boat or light utility trailer. The vehicle has 70K miles on it and no service had been done on the tranny. It shifts perfectly.

If I get the nerve I may go ahead and drop the pan and change the filter as well but not without more information.

I would appreciate any assistance or info anyone can offer

95exploder817 · 11-24-2010, 12:04 PM

i looked on my t case and a sticker says 4405 so does that mean i have the 4405 t case
