Most of the parts were primarily obtained from Ford except for the fluid, filter and pan gasket. I asked the parts man for all the TSB's pertaining to my Ranger and reviewed them to what could apply to my transmission problem. A 1/2" magnetic pan drain plug was brazed in as opposed to...

BB, I put the transmission together doing what I said in my last post and the transmission is up and running. This problem appears to be primarily due to the blown out separator plate gasket on the transmission side where it bolts to the transmission. For good measure, I also replaced the...

BB, turns out after dropping the VB, the VB gasket was blown out similar to one of your diary sticky thread "Common Fix For 4R55E/5R55E Transmissions...." I am also replacing the TCC & EPC solenoids for good measure while I am in there.The shift control solenoid (TCC) can cause shift problems...

That sounds like a good sign. :thumbsup: Maybe the VB is not coming apart as I suspected. Of course who knows what surprises might be in store after I dropping the VB.

Here is the pic of the parts found in the pan.

Thanks for help BO. imagehack.us looks like the ticket.

Operator problem here.:( I would post a pic of the parts, but I cannot figure out how to upload it. There are no attachment or upload icons on my reply thread window. I am not using the quick reply. The Insert Image icon wants a URL.

Do the sticky threads cover the 2 servos in detail? Any ideas what the parts found in the pan? I actually found 10 instead of 2 disks when cleaning out the pan.

BB when you are on again, would you respond to what you think is going on with this transmission what the parts are?

Shift down flare Update I re-adjusted the 2 bands as described under the sticky threads and it did not solve the shift down problem. In an effort to re-iterate the problem to make sure the problem is fully understood, I will update the transmission performance issue. If I have learned anything...

I haven't had a chance to dive into it. Got other fires to take care of but know what I have to do. Thanks for the followup and I will let all know of the results. I sure hope the band is not broken.

high gear shift flare Thank you very much. Your expertise has been appreciated and I have found lots of information under previous threads invaluable. Now to get my hands dirty.....

High Gear shift flare From what I am reading, the 5 spd transmission I have may either be a 5R44E or 5R55E. Is there a way of knowing short of taking the trans apart? The vin is 1FTZR15X6XPB87965.

High Gear Shift Flare Thx BrooklynBay. After reviewing a few threads, I understand the bands on the 5R55 are located on the outside on the driver's side and there is no band for reverse. If a band is broken, I am assuming I will find out when it does not torque down. What is the torque...

I have a 1999 Ranger 4x4 4.0 L. This problem has just started to appear. I noticed when at cruising speed (approx. 55 - 60 MPH) and attempt to floor the accelerator to pass, the RPM will go up to 5500 and the transmission will not shift down until and backing off of the accelerator. The oil...
