I was able to get the TC nuts off. Going to flush the atf cooler & lines & then start the install. With a new reman trans going in does it matter if the flywheel paint mark I put on it lines up with anything? I read it has to align with flex plate but that can only go on one way. Any advice...

Hi Pl- yes old tranny is out - torque converter is still bolted to flywheel. Mine has 4 -14mm nuts that I can cleanly get a 3/8” drive ratchet but man those things are on there and no way of fitting a cheater bar on the ratchet. Also when turning flywheel shaft to gain access to the next bolt -...

Hi everyone , it took me 4 partial days and I day of help from my son but worn out 5r55s is sitting beside the reman tranny going back into my 08 explorer. Transmission, transfer case, starter- everything is out but I do have a question. I hope I didn’t make a major mistake but the torque...

The explorer has 181,000 on it. I am seriously considering putting in a reman tranny my self. I am a decent mechanic and think I could it but I know it’s a daunting task. I have a good garage with smooth cement but I would have to do it with it on jack stands. Anyone here do it themselves or is...

Hi , I didn’t think to check that but I’m going to drop the pan again because what have I got to lose? It’s dead in my driveway. I did get a call from Andy at AJ1E Solutions and after talking to him he thinks from what I told him it is probably a pressure valve that is known to stick on these...

Hello everyone, new member here- I did post in the new member area before making this post. I searched extensively on here for the dreaded tranny fail on my 2008 explorer 4x4 w / 4.0 motor. I’m looking to do the servo bore piston kit fix but haven’t been able to find a thread with what’s going...
