torque converter

Hello explorer enthusiasts. need some help with my ford explorer 2010 xlt. With 5R55S Since past few days i am experiencing some issues with the truck. Wrench light comes on everytime i go above 4 th gear. But no unusual behavior with the truck.. no limp mode or anything. Takes off good...

Some background - I've had my 2004 Explorer v6 4wd for probably 3 years now, and feels like I've replaced pretty much everything. The transmission went out about a year ago, so I pulled a junkyard tranny and swapped it in, at which point I also put in a reman torque converter and applied the...

2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 with 4.0L SOHC 4x4 I removed the motor to have it rebuilt and the torque converter came slightly out when removing the motor. I am now ready to install the motor but when putting the torque converter back in, it doesn’t seem to seat all the way. When I get the...

Hey everybody, newish member here with my first post looking for some help/guidance. My 4R55E in my 4.0 96 EB 4x4 went the way of the Dodo not too long ago, and after much massaging, gently hammering & some cursing the engineers at Ford who decided the starter should occupy the same space as...

Hi all....first time posting and a new Explorer owner. Alas, also an owner of a problem. Noticed a whirring (or purring) noise which corresponds to engine RPM. It sounds EXACTLY like this guy's Ford: EXCEPT, it makes no difference what gear...same noise whether in park, neutral, or drive. I...

Hey, I've read plenty about the 4.6L 5R55S "Dreaded Torque Converter Rattle," and I've fairly certain I've had it for a couple years and several thousand miles. Truck drives great and trans shifts great, but I hear this rattle only when in gear at idle. It clears up as soon as I barely touch the...

I need help with a problem on my 01 Sport Trac v6 4.0L 2wd. The problems I'm having are: 1. Sometimes more than other times I have to turn the ignition key into on position put my foot on the brake then move back and forth through the gears and put it back into Park. Then the truck will start...

The truck has a 3.0L V6 with the automatic transmission. I'm pretty new to it and never drove a ranger before so I have a few questions to ask. I think these are just quirks but I want to make sure. 1. It's supposedly a five speed automatic transmission but it never goes into 2nd gear. Is it...

Hi eveeyone, just joined the site and am hoping for a little help with my issue... 2006 explorer 4x4 4.0L sohc... Im doing an engine swap, old engine is out and new (used) engine it in on the mounts and 4 bell housing started. All bolts are loose to allow for some wiggle room. I thought i may...

Finished the timing chain rebuild of the 4.0 and tried to re-install engine to automatic trans. Torque converter stayed in transmission and WAS pushed all the way back so that it rubbed the inside of the bell housing. I thought that would create enough clearance to bolt engine and trans...

Hello, I'm new to this forum. Today I bought a 2002 explorer with 142,000 miles. I have a youngreat family and I plan to use the Explorer to pull a 6×12 enclosed trailer 2500 miles across the country to relocate. When I got the Explorer the engine light came up with a cylinder 4 misfire. Now...

I have a 98 explorer sport, and while driving, my car doesn't seem to go above 3rd gear. Driving on the street is fine, i can still accellerate fine to well above the speed limit, but when Im on the freeway, the higher gears don't engage, and the revs will just keep going higher as I accelerate...

hi, does anybody know what is the torque converter multiplication factor in Ford Ranger Wildtrack. I needed to calculate the tractive effort at wheels :D :D

Symptoms: Couple weeks ago had trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd. Didn't think anything about it, only lasted 5-10 min. Recently I was driving on the highway in cruise control. Car went to downshift on a hill then never went back into overdrive. Started driving terrible after that. from 1st...

I recently bought an 03 4.6 V8 Eddie Bauer that had a bad engine well i finally got around to fixing the engine and installing it on the car but the problem is that when i mate the engine and tranny together the engine locks up and wont spin even though everything is all lined up so i took the...

I've finally got my engine re-built and transmission in my vehicle and I can now drive to work. It's not where I want it though. I'm wondering if anyone has can provide a good explanation of torque converter slippage. I've encountered lots of articles on the web but they're seemingly mostly...

Hello All, I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any assistance. My 02 Sport Trac has 249,623 miles and I still love it. Recently it began stalling upon coming to a stop if I braked hard. It's gotten worse and I realized I can prevent it by shifting into Neutral prior to stopping, then...

I'm stuck at step 4 of removing the input shaft The input shaft is sticking out about one inch, it doesn't go in (or out, to insert it properly) and because of that the TQ doesn't go in as in the picture. What's holding the shaft? If I could remove it I could slide it back in properly. The...

Hey Guys, got an 04 Limited 4.6 V8 with a 5R55W(?) in it. my question is, when should my convertor lockup from cold. It doesn't usually lockup for about (4miles) 8 or 10 mins first thing in the morning when its freezing cold. after that, its fine. Should it do that or should it lockup pretty...

Let me start by saying. This will probably the 3rd time I have a problem with my explorer and I believe it is related to the transmission. I originally got the car on december 2009 and It didn't develop any problems until December of 2010, I kept driving the car with the weird noise. Then. one...

Started earlier this week: Vehicle is a '99 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD, 4.0L SOHC. 230,000 miles. Pulled the code. It is P-1740. No leaks, but the transmission fluid hasn't been changed since I've had the car (at 160,000). I have the stuff to change the fluid/filter/etc. However, along...

Hey all, I've been lurking this forum for a couple of months and have found many threads immensly helpful, but I can't find any thread with the same problem as me and was wondering if you could possibly shead some light on my problem. Car: 1998 Ford Explorer, 4.0L SOHC Engine, 5r55e...

I have a 1986 Bronco 2 that I just had the transmission rebuilt in. It runs great and shifts great. I was going down the road today with the cruise at 65mph and I was at 4000 rpm. I called my Dad (who has been a mechanic for a very long time). He said put your hazards on and the rpms should go...

Hi, I own a 2000 Ranger XLT 4.0 V6. The truck currently has 122k on it and just recently about 2k miles ago the o/d light started flashing and the truck began to shift really sloppy between 1st and 2nd gear. I then clicked the o/d button off (when starting the truck before driving), in order to...
