5r55e

Hi there I have a 96' 4.0 with a slightly retrofitted 5r55e that has had a 4r55e valve body and OD band/Intermediate band servos from a 96 4r55 installed with a transgo shift kit. I just within the past 6 months got this truck running again (blew the tranny that i put in it 2 years prior and it...

Does anybody know what this is? Found in the bottom of my transmission pan. It's been slipping pretty bad lately so I figured I would drop the pan and check for metal shavings and replace the filter and fluid. This is what I found. Also, is that considered a lot of metal shavings? Trying to...

So I bought a remanufactured transmission from shiftright. It's in a 2002 ford explorer sport trac 4x4 with the 5r55e transmission. Removal and reinstall went smoothly. But I took it for a test drive and noticed my speedometer is off. Like way off. I'm going 20 and its reading 80, that level of...

Looking for the best price on a TCC solenoid for a 4WD 5R55E, not sure if I need a bracket with it or not but yall will inform me if I do, so far the lowest I have found was on eBay for $43, would also like a transmission filter kit if you know any good ones that are cheap. Thank you in advance.

My sport trac has lost it's reverse and it's 1st gear engine braking. I'm having trouble diagnosing what's wrong. I tried installing a rebuilt valve body w/ rebuilt solenoids too because when I took everything down from underneath, looking behind the reverse servo it looked like the reverse band...

Hi All, I haven't been able to find much information about using an OBDII scanner for a 97-01 ford explorer and whether they read transmission temperatures? Does anyone know if they do and can recommend any sensors? Thanks Chris

Hey guys, I got a problem with my 5R55E transmission where it won’t go into overdrive and the OD light starts flashing once I get to about 50 mph. Me and my dad installed those modified servo pistons with the O rings hoping that’d fix it. It didn’t. I got it hooked up to the computer and it’s...

So I recently have attempted to replace my transmission with what looked like a good one from a junkyard. After installing it throws no codes but will not engage any gear I shift into. Do I need to install it into my computer and if so how. Thanks guys

so i went to pull out of my driver the other morning and as I was pulling out I felt a pop, now the truck acts like its constantly in neutral really need some help seeing how I don't really have any money to put into it right now. its a 99 Explorer 4.0 SOHC with an automatic trans. odometer says...

whats the difference between the 5r55, 5r55e, 5r55w transmissions? i found where it said i have a 5r55 trans. no e or w or any other letter behind it. its a 2005 ford explorer xlt 4.0l 4x4 v6. i need to find the big wiring harness. jerk sold the trans and box and just cut the wiring harness...

As I think I noted on a previous post my 99 Limited 4x4 4.0 SOHC decided Dec 14 that the transmission wasn't going to transmission any longer. I'm not sure I could handle a trans job, engine I don't hesitate. I.had just finished paying off $1100front end job(had nowhere to work on it then) and...

I have a 5R55E transmission that has been slipping out of first gear, almost into neutral it seems, and I have to remove my foot from the gas, and let it clunk back into gear, then it's fine. It only will do this when the transmission fluid is warm, only once, then drive with no symptoms. Or if...

Long ago, I smashed flat the metal lines for the cooler that run under the rad. I cut them out and replaced them with rubber back then. I've long since replaced the stock external cooler with one that came with AN fittings (which I replaced with barbs for said rubber line), I'm tired of...

New member but recently dedicated fan of the forum.. Ok problem appeared on freeway. Wont lie, i floored it to pass someone who wouldnt let me get over.. when i put the pedal down felt as if the truck went into neutral. I quickly found that warm or cold. I can start in either 1,2 on the...

So I’ve had a vibration in the cabin that’s gotten worse over the years ever since my transmission was lifted off the mount to replace the rear main seal. It’s noticeably worse when in drive or reverse at a stop, but gets better when in park or neutral. Indicating that the vibration occurs when...

i recently picked up a 2001 explorer xlt SOHC with 150k on it. i have owned enough of these to know that something odd is going on with the transmission. All forward gears shift harshly...the engagement from park to drive is also harsh. Reverse engages very smoothly every time, no slamming...

Currently attempting to install the aj1e servo correction kit, but I can't seem to get the OD servo out. I was able to get the cap out by spinning and prying with the screw driver but the servo itself is not wanting to come out. I've attempted spinning the servo while tapping the case, but no...

I have been searching everywhere I could for months trying to figure out how to put a winters shifter on my 2005 Sport Trac that has the 5r55e transmission. I couldn’t find anywhere of someone adapting (or at least talking about it) a winters shifter. Since I was successful on the install, I...

Can anyone tell me how this goes on? I took it apart a week ago and now have valve body in and don't rememer ber.

I have to start by saying I have read many of your transmission posts in the past and they have been very helpful with a third gear issue I had about a half year ago. I adjusted the band and solved that problem. I also must tell you that you are all much more adventurous about working on...

1998 ford explorer wont move in drive or reverse, will crawl if rpms get high enough. Only 1 and 2 work. With overdrive off can start in 2nd and shift into drive and it will move normally.

I've got myself a '98 XLT 4x4 SOHC 4.0. Haven't posed before so don't really know my way round here. Looks like a great site. Here in OZ, bit harder to find info. I have the trans issues people often mention.Mine seems a little rarer in that I can take off in second only( no drive in D) but...

Has anyone ever tried the Servo bore o-ring fix before experiencing any delayed/hard shifts from 2-3 and 4-5? I have an ‘03 Explorer and it shifts fine but I anticipate it will start “flaring” between shifts. I’m familiar with the simplicity of the fix —temporary or not — and I’m considering...

I rebuilt my 5r55e, changing all the soft parts and several of the hard parts. Everything looks good tolerance wise. But since I've never done this before I thought I would test it before reconnecting the drive shafts. Without a load, I found that in R it spins ok and the engine idles up...

Is there a best path to go down for this. Absolutely no forward shift flares or other problems with the transmission but it has been babied, never towed anything.. Minor tension rattle on start up - might dictate how I approach the broken reverse band. Rock auto remanufactured is 15XX $...

Hey guys. So I have a 2WD, 2005 Sport Trac. The truck has been having numerous transmission issues, and I was told by a Ford Mechanic that it is likely due to one or more issues with the valve body, or solenoids. So, I decided to just replace them both to make sure the issue is solved. I...

I have a 1998 explorer sport 4x4 that I just finished pulling the transmission on. And have no idea what trans rebuild kit to get! Any suggestions? The reason for the rebuild is broken reverse band. I found a kit on eBay for 157 from Transdeals4u. Is it a good kit? If not can you point me in...

Can anyone tell me if I have to drop the valve body in order to replace the wiring harness for the solenoid pack? I'm afraid I pinched a wire putting the pan back on and it's grounding out so want to replace the harness. Just trying to know what's involved in doing this. Thanks.

I was having no problems with the transmission but thought it time for a fluid/filter change at 160k. Now I'm getting a flashing o/d light and a p0741 code. I've read thru a number of posts and still am not certain how to approach this. Is it possible I damaged the TCC solenoid? I had a devil of...

Own a 98 Sport, 4l sohc, 5r55e 4x4. Had issues when it was driven hard at times it would spray transmission fluid all over the rear hatch. tightened the trans pan and it fixed it for awhile, month later did it again on the highway about a 150km trip. Thought nothing of it. Now yesterday I was...

5r55e in a 1995 Explorer XLT 4x So the short version of a long story is I paid a small fortune to have my tranny rebuilt after it burned up. I had them put in a shift kit, aux cooler, and HD clutches. Basically I asked them to 'give me the works'... and it wasn't cheap. About 13 months later...

I have a 1999 Explorer, the O/D light has started blinking at me and it appears the transmission is getting ready to go out on me. I have a guy that has a 1996 Eddie Bauer (manufacture date 11/96) that has a "Control Trac" emblem on it, TR code D on the door sticker and if I am reading things...

Does anyone have a servo bore repair kit they would be willing to ship to me? I would be more than happy to cover the shipping costs and the bushings. Thanks.

I have to replace my overdrive band and from what I can tell I should just have to take the bell housing off to get to it my question is can I re-use the pump gasket if it's still good or do I absolutely have to replace it?

My 5R55S is destroyed with multiple issues and the 5R55E is a few hundred dollars less for a remanufactured unit with sleeved servo bores and all the important valve body upgrades and such. Does anyone know if it will bolt up the same to the 4.0 engine and transfer case as the 5R55S does? I've...

Hello everybody. I'm new to Explorerforum, but I'd like to make a post about my 2002 Explorer XLT 4x4 4.6. I love this car, but recently I've run into transmission issues that make the car un-drivable. I just recently hit 240,000 miles and I've been waiting for a problem like this to happen. My...

Hello All, I just replaced the valve body gaskets on my 5r55e transmission after gears were slipping and I was receiving a code for the TCC solenoid. Turned out the VB Gasket was blown along the strip of solenoids as well as on the small outside strip around the low/reverse servo (not the...

Today I managed to get my transmission right! Full story after this: [insert advertisements here] Following is a story of how my 5r55e went from flare to no forward, to inconsistent forward and reverse, and finally no 2nd or overdrive--all because I installed a Sonnax Zip Kit. A few weeks...

I have a 1999 Sport and when I'm accelerating (like on an on-ramp or something) I noticed the engine speed will stay constant at about 3000RPM, while the vehicle speed increases until it reaches a shift point and then it shifts fine. I can feel it going through the gears, but under acceleration...

So I have searched the forums up and down thinking that surely there is a sticky for this question...maybe I missed it? I am replacing my automatic 5r55e in 05 ranger. Besides the rear main seal are there any other parts or seals I should replace while in there?
