So 1:1 so far haha. I'll take off the transfer case and see If I can get around it. Got rained out today so I'll be back on it tomorrow.

Im working on pulling the 5r55e now, but I need to know if the catalytic converter needs to come off? It goes right under the bell housing but the bolts on either end of it look like they are welded on. Please advise! I'd rather not take it off if I don't have to. Could I take off the...

My 5r55e has gone out and I've been trying to figure out what to do. There is a clanging noise up by the torque converter, and it doesn't go into first, second, or fifth in drive. It will go into 2 manual but then it gets stuck when you put it back into drive. I'm going to pull the trans...

Thanks for the help. I should be able to check the pressures this weekend. Would low pressures automatically mean a bad pump or could something be leaking pressure inside like the tc? I don't know how it all works...

Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can do to check the pressure. Here's the fixed link to the audio file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7lwkzw7EXtLZUtOeGR6RVVCa2s/edit?usp=sharing

Dang, well thank you for your help. I posted it in the transmission forum so hopefully somebody knows. I'm starting on it tomorrow but I know the fluid on the stick was clean. Here's to hoping its only the converter. I think I may get a 5r55e rebuild kit also while its off.

I'm posting this from the 95 to 01 forum. Forgot there was a transmission sub forum. Please help me if possible, this is my main means of transportation. I just want to be sure I'm looking at a bad torque converter before I pull the trans. I'm going to start on it tomorrow so any help is...

I totally forgot there was a transmission sub-forum. Thanks! Do you think a bad solenoid would cause the torque converter to transfer almost no power to the wheels? I thought that was just for lockup?

Thanks guys. When I checked the fluid, I actually drove about 5 miles over to my friends house to park it. That's where I'll do the work. I'll start by dropping the pan. What if there are no shavings? Can torque converters fail without coming apart?

Nothing? I guess I'll start taking it apart?

bump? Nobody?

I need help on what to do next with this explorer. Today when pulling off, I had to almost floor it to get it to move so I quickly parked it. It's a 97 4x4 with 5r55e, 150k miles. A little history. - During this entire time over several months, the transmission shifted perfect and...

I'm trying to replace the material on top of the armrest and I have been unsuccessful so far. I have a standard size t50 stapler but the smallest staples I can find are 1/4", which are way too big and don't go far enough into the hard plastic. For the people that have done this, what size...

Thanks for the help guys, that will really help out. Unfortunately, It's been raining all day so I can't get out there to work on it yet. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have a few questions on my suspension. I've been having a fast knocking on the passenger side for a few months now. Well today I decided to replace the upper control arm to only find out it still knocks. I crawled underneath and when I let the jack down, the ball joint MOVED in the socket...

Well guys that's it for my explorer. Today when I went to leave for work and turn around in the street, put in in drive, reverse, and drive again in the middle of the street and she wouldn't move. I need a source on where to buy a torque converter TODAY. Trans is a 5r55e 4x4. I'm sure it...

Hey thanks so much, looks like I have some work ahead of me.

I remember seeing a thread a while back about installing A lower fuel monitoring console Behind the cupholdees like the eddie bauers came with. my xlt did not come with 1 originally but I recently acquired 1 and would like to install it. does anybody know what this console is called? What...

Hey thanks guys for the kind words. Yours looks amazing. I kind of with I had used 1/2" instead of 3/4 but I can't complain about anything. It sounds amazing. I will say that how you see it in the picture from before is how it is now. I haven't even mounted it or put the panels back in. I...

Come on guys, I know some of you have a sunroof. All I need to know is if I need to buy headliner with foam like the rest or special without foam?

I need to replace the headliner on the sunroof sun guard sliding thing. I tore the hanging headliner off a while ago but I'm unsure of what type to put back. I went up to hancock fabrics and all they sell is automotive type headliner with the foam built in. I think this is too thick for the...

Hey guys, sorry I haven't got back to you. I've been sooo busy lately. Anyway, I got the sub wired up and it sounds simply amazing. I can't believe I waited this long to get it installed! If you are wondering about doing this install, DO NOT HESITATE. There is absolotely no rattling...

Thanks for the compliment. I really spent a lot of time on it, mostly because I'm kinda ocd. I bet it took me a whole day of cutting to get all the angles right and glued together. I am a little bit worried about vibrations and rattling though, because the box is right up against the trim...

A few months ago, I installed 4 rockford fosgate 6x8 door speakers(t1682) and a p400-4 amp to power them, and ever since then, I've been wanting more. I saw where some people on here have built stealth sub boxes so that's what I decided to do. I like the stock look and I even hated mounting my...

I appreciate it guys. I went and looked at the stock sub enclosure again the other day at the junkyard and I'm really not pleased with the volume. I have decided that I'm going to make my own out of wood, like this guy did in the link below. I'm really not into spending like $300 for the mtx...
