    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    I'd try wittrans.com, specifically https://www.wittrans.com/Schematic.aspx?Transmission=A4LD/4R44E/4R55E/5R55E&Schematic=5 Looks like I could have solved my problems for less than $3 worth of gaskets. :)

    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    I'm no expert but if what you have is the 2-3 flare, then my limited experience and research on the Internet indicates that it might be the upper VB gaskets. If it were me, I'd probably try new gaskets. If that didn't work, I'd probably buy a new VB from CVB and replace the whole thing...

    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    This has probably been posted many, many times but there's an excellent youtube video showing how to r&r a 5R55E valve body: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaHIK-dwhbA Definitely worth watching. Make me think I could have gotten away with just a new upper and lower gasket.

    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    Central Valve Body It came complete, all solenoids gaskets etc. It cost $259, as I recall. A bit more expensive than 800700 but it includes all the TSBs, etc. The Ford price is about $1200. I'm very happy Central Valve Bodies. www.centralvalvebodies.com

    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    800700tran.com Based on what I read here, I ordered my valve body from Central Valve Body. Couldn't be happier. They were very helpful, the VB looked great and is now operating great. About $80 more expensive than 800700 but, in my opinion, money well spent. FWIW: Don't forget that if...

    Thanks, 2000StreetRod and WhiteTtype. The cereal box template looks great. I'm checking for an inch-lb torque wrench but will likely just buy this one: http://www.amazon.com/Michigan-Industrial-Tools-Torque-Wrench/dp/B000H43VU0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290973613&sr=8-1 WhiteTtype -...

    How to: 5R55E Valve Body Rebuild Diary

    Hello - I'm new to the forum but thought I'd ask the old hands a quick question. Sorry if this has been asked and answered but I looked and couldn't find it. I have a 1999 Eddie Bauer that's exhibiting the 2-3 flare. Based on what I've read, I'm going to replace the valve body with...
