    New guy here. Having a 5r55e problem that’s drive me crazy

    Ok that would make sense if it didn’t do it before I changed the filter and fluid. Plus when I just put it back together it went right into D. Then back into reverse. Then it wouldn’t go back into D. I guess I’m just gonna bite the bullet and get a transmission for it. Maybe just sell the damn...

    206k. But it didn’t start doing this till I changed the filter and oil along with a quart of lucas. Just got the truck about 6 weeks ago.

    206k. I just bought it about 6 weeks ago. It ran fine till I put a new tranny filter in and replaced fluid along with a quart of lucas.

    Used my 3/8ths drive snap on torque wrench and also made a little map for when I took the bolts out and torqued them down from the center out

    I’m thinking the fluid is a little crappy cause I was playing with the band adjustments and I think some of that is from the bands. But when it was on the stands I power break’d it a little and it wanted to move the tires.

    Seals are good. I put a new filter in it each time I dropped the pan

    New guy here. Having a 5r55e problem that’s drive me crazy

    Yes. It was a little bit low but I don’t think that’s the problem. It was full the last 2 times I put it back together and did the same exact thing. Still have reverse, have to rev it up a lot for it to go into forward, and once it’s in forward it works perfect. This all started when I put a new...

    I just got pissed cause it wouldn’t go into drive so I revved it up pretty high. Probably about 3500-4000 rpms and it popped in. What in the world is wrong?!

    New update. I put a new valve body gasket in. Put it all back together and while it was on jackstands I put it in reverse and forward and everything worked perfect! Until I took it off the stands........ same f^*#ing thing is happening!!! Sorry for the language but 3 times taking the pan off and...

    Also. Can anyone tell me what this tranny is? Got it with truck but I’m pretty sure it’s not the same. The trans that’s currently in the truck had a cracked servo cover. So I went to my other garage, took the cover off this trans, went up to my other garage to switch it and the cover was...

    I will add I just checked all the solenoids and they all ohm’d good. I wouldn’t be so worried but I only paid $1000 for this truck. Hate to take it to a tranny shop and have to spend $2500+ for work. Actually that won’t happen. But I also hate to just throw parts at it, put it back together and...

    New guy here. Having a 5r55e problem that’s drive me crazy

    So I just took the pan off. They’re are some very light metal in it. Looks like a red metallic paint. But not bad I don’t think. Well. I mean I did just put new fluid in it and only drove it maybe 40 miles. Is this a bad sign of something? If I could upload a pic of it I would. I did order a new...

    Yeah but not nearly as bad. I bought all the fluid at autozone and they set me up with the fluid. Pretty sure it was Mercon IV or V. Can’t quite remember. I put the Lucas oil in it also thinking it might help the delay. Turns out it didn’t. Lol!

    Thank you BrooklynBay! We didn’t check the epc port. Just the line pressure port. Not really sure where the epc one is at? Fluid is all new and full. I replaced the filter and fluid 2 weekends ago.

    Hey all. Glad to be here. I do not have an explorer but I do have a 2006 ranger fx4 with the 4.0. I did do about all the research I could possible handle before posting this. One of my leads sent me here and did find some help but not exactly what I was looking for so here I am making my first...
