I have just rebuilt a 5r55e transmission for my 1997 Explorer 4.0 4x4 OHV. I had a broken reverse band that I replaced along with the front and intermediate band and all friction/clutch packs. I followed the manual on the complete rebuild and now that everything is back together I am having an issue shifting into reverse and neutral.
When I turn the truck on, it jolts forward (while in park) if I shift into reverse it wants to drive forward. If I shift into neutral, it wants to drive forward. I have backed off the front and intermediate bands an additional 1/2 turn but that did not affect anything. I can shift into each gear slot but not the 1st gear. It does not want the shift that low. I can not push the vehicle in any gear.
I soaked the clutch plates in ATF and filled the torque converter with 2 quarts before installing them. I tested the solenoids and servos, they were all functional. I also replaced all the gaskets and grommets in the system. I topped off the fluids before I kicked it on for the first time.
Any ideas on resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help.
