    Hard 2-3 shift then at med throttle

    Title should be "Hard 2-3 shift at med throttle". My 5R55E has been acting strange sometimes since I did some trans work earlier this year. I added a Superior VB kit, replaced all the solenoids, torque convertor, pump, input shaft, seals, bearings, and adjusted the bands. The rest of the...

    Steering wheel yanks side to side while turning or hitting bumps

    My Explorer has been sitting for a few months due to a blown trans. I fixed the trans, but the truck developed a new problem while sitting. :banghead: The steering wheel has a shudder like there is air in the lines or something. It stays calm when driving straight, but tries to rip out of...

    Stock replacement body mount bushing kit?

    Anyone know where I can buy a complete set of stock body mount bushings? Dealerships only carry each piece individually and they're pretty expensive. The bushings range from $17-$28 each and I need all 20 of them! I don't really care if the new bushings are rubber or polyurethane. Just...

    Swapped '01 5R55E with another '01 5R55E, but they aren't compatible.

    :help: WTF? How many different variations of 5R55E 4x4 transmissions are there? I'm in the middle of replacing the trans in my '01 Sport 4x4. I got another 5R55E out of an '01 Explorer 4x4 with a 4.0L SOHC (probably 4dr) from a junk yard going out of business. I made sure the...

    Swapping trans, what extras should I do?

    The transmission in my '01 Sport 4x4 has been slipping for a few months and now sprays fluid out the front. I could only manage 30k between rebuilds on the original 5R55E trans, so decided to just replace it this time. Never did anything extra to help it though, except firming up the shifts...

    Horn and Cruise Control Stopped Working

    My truck was in an accident early this year and the airbags went off. The steering wheel controls were blown apart but replaced and have been working fine. Last week the horn quit working and then last night I found the cruise control was dead. I'm a little nervous to start poking around in...

    A/C compressor cycling every 5 sec

    I did a search, but none of the solutions seem to apply... My truck is at the dealer right now because the A/C is continuously cycling every 4 to 5 seconds. They can't find anything wrong with anything. According to them, the coolant is at the correct pressure, the switches check out OK...

    Any bolt-on cat-back for '01 Sports?

    I know, I know, another exhaust question in here..... :confused: My stock exhaust is mangled from a rear-end accident last year, and I'm tired of the annoying vibration against the floor since they "fixed" it. Does anyone besides Gibson make a bolt-on cat-back exhaust kit specifically for...
