Longtime lurker/reader but first time poster. My son has an 03 ranger with a 5R55e that had the no reverse or drive for a month. He lives ~9 hours away and yesterday I met him halfway and swapped cars so I could drive it home and swap out the trans from my 01 Explorer Sport. Funny thing is after driving for 5 hours ( using LI, L2, D and OD) when I got home I didn't have the room to turn around in the driveway to face the road, so I put it in R to see what would happen. It backed up fine! I thought might be because it was hot from the long drive. This morning I go out and Drive works (all gears) and reverse works. I cleared the codes and none have returned. I plan on driving this daily this until any codes come up or it loses R or D.
This causes me to think it is electrical or in the computer. Anyone else had this issue self correct? Any ideas or thoughts on what to check out? I really don't want to swap transmissions and have the same issue remain.
Any input would be appreciated.
Cheers.
