5r55e

I have a 1998 explorer sport 4x4 that I just finished pulling the transmission on. And have no idea what trans rebuild kit to get! Any suggestions? The reason for the rebuild is broken reverse band. I found a kit on eBay for 157 from Transdeals4u. Is it a good kit? If not can you point me in...

Can anyone tell me if I have to drop the valve body in order to replace the wiring harness for the solenoid pack? I'm afraid I pinched a wire putting the pan back on and it's grounding out so want to replace the harness. Just trying to know what's involved in doing this. Thanks.

I was having no problems with the transmission but thought it time for a fluid/filter change at 160k. Now I'm getting a flashing o/d light and a p0741 code. I've read thru a number of posts and still am not certain how to approach this. Is it possible I damaged the TCC solenoid? I had a devil of...

Own a 98 Sport, 4l sohc, 5r55e 4x4. Had issues when it was driven hard at times it would spray transmission fluid all over the rear hatch. tightened the trans pan and it fixed it for awhile, month later did it again on the highway about a 150km trip. Thought nothing of it. Now yesterday I was...

5r55e in a 1995 Explorer XLT 4x So the short version of a long story is I paid a small fortune to have my tranny rebuilt after it burned up. I had them put in a shift kit, aux cooler, and HD clutches. Basically I asked them to 'give me the works'... and it wasn't cheap. About 13 months later...

I have a 1999 Explorer, the O/D light has started blinking at me and it appears the transmission is getting ready to go out on me. I have a guy that has a 1996 Eddie Bauer (manufacture date 11/96) that has a "Control Trac" emblem on it, TR code D on the door sticker and if I am reading things...

Does anyone have a servo bore repair kit they would be willing to ship to me? I would be more than happy to cover the shipping costs and the bushings. Thanks.

I have to replace my overdrive band and from what I can tell I should just have to take the bell housing off to get to it my question is can I re-use the pump gasket if it's still good or do I absolutely have to replace it?

My 5R55S is destroyed with multiple issues and the 5R55E is a few hundred dollars less for a remanufactured unit with sleeved servo bores and all the important valve body upgrades and such. Does anyone know if it will bolt up the same to the 4.0 engine and transfer case as the 5R55S does? I've...

Hello everybody. I'm new to Explorerforum, but I'd like to make a post about my 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6. I love this car, but recently I've run into transmission issues that make the car un-drivable. I just recently hit 240,000 miles and I've been waiting for a problem like this to happen. My...

Hello All, I just replaced the valve body gaskets on my 5r55e transmission after gears were slipping and I was receiving a code for the TCC solenoid. Turned out the VB Gasket was blown along the strip of solenoids as well as on the small outside strip around the low/reverse servo (not the...

Today I managed to get my transmission right! Full story after this: [insert advertisements here] Following is a story of how my 5r55e went from flare to no forward, to inconsistent forward and reverse, and finally no 2nd or overdrive--all because I installed a Sonnax Zip Kit. A few weeks...

I have a 1999 Sport and when I'm accelerating (like on an on-ramp or something) I noticed the engine speed will stay constant at about 3000RPM, while the vehicle speed increases until it reaches a shift point and then it shifts fine. I can feel it going through the gears, but under acceleration...

So I have searched the forums up and down thinking that surely there is a sticky for this question...maybe I missed it? I am replacing my automatic 5r55e in 05 ranger. Besides the rear main seal are there any other parts or seals I should replace while in there?

I know this has been beaten to death on this forum and I have read nearly all of them, but I have a slightly different issue. The only issue is a hard shift from 1-2 and only when warm and the o/d light blinking. I have an 05 2 wheel drive auto ranger 4.0, which according to the forums doesn't...

This tranny is driving me crazy. Had it taken out, rebuilt, and it still has the same problem, a hard thump when changing gears, especially 1st to 2nd and sometimes 2nd to 3rd, not as often into 4th and overdrive. It also does it down shifting at times. These are very hard thumps and jerks...

Vehicle info; 1997 (Production Date 02/97) Ford Explorer Sport 2dr, 4.0l SOHC. 4WD 5R55E Trans with auto transfer case Ok, So thought I got the same thing as was in my truck, but upon close inspection today when went to swap my 2 speed sensors over to my replacement trans (original ones...

So I rebuilt my 5R44E (02 ranger 3.0 2x) this past week.I used all transtar products, I Replaced all seals, the three band, both sprags, TSS, all the steel and friction plates, and the OD and Inter servo pistons. I also installed a transgo shift kit. I also replaced the OD planet, found one of...

I just had a 5r55e pulled out of '97 4.0 SOHC 4x4 explorer put in my explorer, same specs except a year newer (98). The old trans was destroyed and the used one is fine, however there are a host of electrical issues since i drove it home from the shop last night. From a complete stop it seems to...

Hey Guys! I'm hoping someone here may be able to answer my questions. First about my truck I have a 97 ranger 4.0L 4x4 automatic extended cab. I've been having some problems with the transmission. I've read the 5r55e valve body rebuild diary and I ordered a new valve body from central...

Mercedes OM617 with 5r55e in 98 XLT I'm new here, but an experienced fabricator and have done over a dozen oddball swaps. I have a 98 XLT with a decent body and a nice leather interior which has eaten its third crappy 4.0SOHC POS. :mad::thumbdwn: Anyway I have a really good MB turbo diesel...

Diagnosis This thread started out as a diagnosis challenge, but has evolved into a rebuild guide of sorts. The rebuild section begins on the 2nd page, once I determined removal was necessary (i.e. not band adjustment or valve body issue). It is not quite as detailed as Glacier's A4LD rebuild...

Howdy, all! Haven't posted on here in a while, but I'm back. Now for a little late-night absurdity: what do y'all think about replacing the 4R70W auto trans in the 5.0 Explorer with the 5R55E from the 4.0? I'm considering it as a project for my next vehicle, and since I accumulate a lot of...

Hey guys, got an 03 ranger edge supercab. The Tranny is slipping in overdrive...its more of a jerk at high speed. I searched on fordparts.com by vin number and they say I've got the 5R55E. My question is can I use slightly different trannies like a 4r55e, a 5r44e, or a 5r55e from a newer ranger...

2004 sport XLT 4.0 - 180,000 the transmission started acting up. Initially it slipped and I got the blinking o/d light like so many others. With some experimentation, I found that I could drive the tuck fine as long as I operated it manually. I would have to start off in low with the o/d...
