- 05 Ford Explorer 4X2 XLS
New user here. I am having an issue with what I believe to be the transmission on my 05 ford explorer 4X2 XLS. I believe it has a 5R55S transmission and I came up with that by doing a VIN check online.
It seems like when I drive forward everything seems normal. When I put it in reverse it switches over just fine. The problem I am having is that when I give it gas in reverse it will not go and seems to be what I believe would be called slipping. Although when I do not give it gas it will reverse just fine as long as im not reversing uphill of coarse.
I have been doing alot of reading online and watching youtube videos so I am curious as to what someone with transmission experience has to say. I believe there may possibly be an issue with Servo Piston / Servo Bore / Band.
I have drained the tranny fluid, changed the filter of coarse, and cleaned up the magnet and the oil pan. I also have tried to use seafoam and have not noticed any improvements. I have not tried checking any of the codes yet.
