I mangled mine when I adjusted my bads. Was able to order one from the following site: http://www.acerecon.com/atc/site/index.aspx Installation was easy. They delivered via UPS in one day to NY from NJ.

BB has a good point, did you use a decent torque wrench? For the intermediate band it should be backed off 2.0 turns from 120 in.-lbs. for a 99 (2.5 turns for 95-98).

I was able to swing it in position on my 99 Ex. I did not unbolt it, just pushed it away from the tranny pan. See the following post for pictures. Maybe one of the clamps is bent? http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1319743&postcount=117

Just a quick thought, the intermediate band is only applied in 3rd gear. Maybe try adjusting this band and see what happens?

Sounds like it could be valve body related. Read the following thread: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140987

On Pg 110 you will see the two alignment pins. They actually fit into two of the bolt holes ("C" and one of the "D" bolt holes). I picked up two SS shanked bolts to attach the VB to the tranny at these holes. The shanked bolts fit tight on the .235 alignment hole and a little loose on the .248...

Not necessary if you are careful. See this post: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1553094#post1553094

Check when engine is at normal operating temp (or driven over 20 miles). If driven for very long distance, alot of city traffic or trailing then let cool 30 minutes before checking level. Check on level surface with engine running, parking brake on and then shift through all the gears and end in...

What year is your Explorer?

My 5R55E manual describes that this code is a SS3/SS4/OD band failure giving the symptom of no 2nd or 5th gear. This points to shift solenoids 3 or 4 and or possible the front band. Have you tired driving in manual 1st or 2nd? I would drop the pan and inspect for any damage and adjust the...

Start by getting the codes pulled. You will need a scanner that can pull the extended Ford codes (most auto parts stores will do this for free if you can your Ex there). On my 99 I could pull the tranny pan if I drop the drive shaft first, this gave enough wiggle room to get the pan out. Post...

Looks like it is the whole solenoid block on the "W". See the following link for the replacement procedure: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164055&highlight=5R55W+solenoid+block vendors...

Looks like band anchors... if you have not played with the band adjustment then it might indicate a broken band. See the following link for pictures. http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=158160&highlight=band+anchor Looks like you might need a rebuild.

This is the procedure on the 99 x for the cable/bracket adjustment Cable/Bracket Adjustment 1. Place the gearshift lever in the (D) position and hang a 3.6 kg (8 lb) weight on the gearshift lever. 2. Raise and support the vehicle 3. Disconnect the transmission shift cable from the...

Possibly a forward clutch issue and could also be valve body related. I would start with a filter and fluid change along with adjusting the bands. May want to retorque the valve body bolts also when the pan is down. start simple

If the OD light is flashing then a code should be posted. Try another store to retreive the codes.

First get the codes thrown with the flashing OD light. Most auto parts stores will do this for free.

I have no experience w/ the Transgo kit, found the following link but it does not offer much help as far as the rivet is concern: http://groups.msn.com/RangerBill/transgo.msnw Maybe try giving Transgo a call and get their advice?

If you go in again, I would re-torque the VB bolts to the high end of the spec and adjust the bands if you have not done so already. Get new band xxxx(nuts) before adjusting the bands. Thanks BB for the catch. Below is a picture of a used vs. new band nut. Best to change them when...

I would get a new reverse servo cover gasket (~1-2 $) and still would consider a shift kit. Remember to use the following thread also: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154655 I got the drain plug from my local Advance Auto store. A new solenoid bracket may be also...
