1998 V6 5R55E 4X4 New Valve body / Replaced override clutch?
The original complaint was no reverse and a big shift flare. I messed up the valve body replacement by braking off a locator pin on the selector gear thing that runs the kick down spool.. replaced that.. and had the tranny gone through..seals and what was reported as a burned override clutch.
I had the trans put back in my Explorer. Left it on the jacks, suspended in the air while I put fluid in it. Ran it on the jacks and it seems to be in 4wheel all the time.
Put it on the ground and rechecked the fluid level.. It backs up well but is spongey in forward... and.... wont go up a hill. when you stop half way up the hill it feels like the brakes are on and will not roll back one single bit...till you put it in neutral... no check engine light.. It seems a bit better in low lock 4x4 but it is NOT right.... . I did not install or repair this.. it was done by shade tree guys with a good reputation, as there are no transmission shops here in the third world.
Any Ideas?? Heck, it took another $60 dollars in fluid just to find out it won't work. I am soooo shot up here.
I am stuck here and have put a ton of money in this with no where else to go. Ihope this rings a bell with someone out there with an answer..
Thanks for looking.
