    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    I agree JK080. Just beyond my means as I have no hoist. I did set out and did what I could with a set of ramps. May look at buying a rebuilt transmission with all the updates or a used one at a wrecking (recycle) yard. Thank you for your help and expertize, was much appreciated. Like I...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    I hope these pictures come in here. I took off the reverse servo and there was shrapnel and shards of steel flakes laying on the top side of it. The broken ring or spacer was laying on top as well. EDIT: no idea where it came from and what it's for? EDIT 2: The band seem to look OK, perhaps the...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    OK to clarify it... Drive 1st to 5th (OD) work fine. Manual 1st works fine. Then still could be "Low/Reverse" Servo? Regards Don

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    I did some test last night and triple checked everything. Is the "Low/Reverse Servo" used by both forward 1st and reverse gear? If it does and my 1st gear works fine, which it does, would this not eliminate the possibility of this " Low/Reverse servo" being messed up ? I can get a "ford...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    Thanks JK080.. This is exactly the guidance I was looking for and I thank you very much for taking the time to help me. I will do exactly as you have suggested. It may take me a bit but I will post back how it goes. Looking at this part I can see there is an internal O ring, if this has failed...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    Thinking back when they did the rebuild, they were not sure what was wrong and I know they had the servo pack in and out along with the valve body more than once before realizing they forgot to drill the brass sleeve, the new ones come pre-drilled but this was 3 years ago when mine was done...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    Would like to add I am not sure both Servo bores were done, I was told they were and I know for sure the OD bore was done because they forgot to drill it out and I go the bang shift from 1st to 3rd when backing off the gas and no OD... took it back in and they drilled it out.. With that being...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    Problem occurred basically overnight about 2 months ago. I know one should not assume but I have concrete driveway and never a sign of a leak. Also added a few liters back a while just in case. The effect is like something is kicking fully into and out of reverse every 1/2 second, equal time in...

    55R5W Reverse Problem 2003 Explorer.

    Hi Guys, Need some advice here. I'll keep this in point form for easier reading. Problem: Select Reverse and instantly feel a bit going in but not fully engaging. Bring up RPM and it bangs into gear then releases then bangs in gear then releases, this will continue to do this until I...

    Enviromental Controls----AC coming on ?

    Thanks for your reply but I still find it strange.

    Enviromental Controls----AC coming on ?

    Doesn't make sense to to have the AC compressor working when it is not needed. Total waste of HP.

    Enviromental Controls----AC coming on ?

    Hi Guys/Gals, Not sure when this started or even if it is normal but I think not. When I select "Defrost and Lower" heat or just "Defrost" my air conditioner clutch engages and will run indefinitely. The heat selector is at the highest in both cases. Any idea's here? Thanks Don

    2004 rear brake pad installation - backwards?

    I see it now. I think it is so that one side swings in on the top and the other on the bottom, not a mirror image but something on those grounds. I can see your point though. It's not right mixing them but realistically shouldn't make any difference once installed. Seems it would only make it...

    2004 rear brake pad installation - backwards?

    Anyone know where there is a picture of the 4 pads anywhere handy? I Just did my rotors and pads F & B and I'm wondering what we are talking about here, (didn't save old ones). Don Edit: Mine is an 03 XLT

    ABS Light and new brakes

    2003 Explorer XLT Just keeping this old thread up to date. I too had ABS light come on and off on a 2000 mile road trip. It stayed off for the past 7 months and then on for the last two weeks. Unfortunately I'm up here in Northwest Canada and we pay a premium for everything. I've read...
