5r55e

Ok so like so many others on here, I was having problems with my transmission. I never really noticed the 2-3 shifting problem, but then one day I was driving and there was a bad stutter shifting into 2nd, like the tranny couldnt decide if it was supposed to shift or not. Thats when I started...

The vehicle: 1997 Explorer XLT 4WD 4.0 SOHC w/ towing package, 174,000 miles. What happened: O/D OFF light was flashing intermittently, and before I could get it in to have the codes read, the transmission overheated due to a problem with the Torque Converter Clutch System. As I later...

So I recently purchased a 2001 Ranger. Its a nice little truck and everything works. I am having some trouble with the tranny and since any problem in an auto will eventually lead to destruction, I want to be proactive. Here is what it is doing. No check engine, no bad noises, no "o/d off"...

I installed the TransGo kit, and while I have the valve body out of the x I decided to give it a thorough "rebuild". Except from the parts included in the kit, everything is going back where it belongs. I am finding several of the "plungers" (for lack of the proper term) behind the solenoids to...

113,000 miles and my transmission finally had enough. looking to replace it. does anyone know where I can find a rebuilt one or good used one for cheep.

Hello all. Here's the skinny: 1997 XLT ControlTrac 4.0 SOHC 176,000 miles, O/D light was flashing for a few miles, about once a month, but would not stay on. I understand the transmission was in limp mode (harder shifts). Fluid level was good, fluid was also fresh, about 10,000 miles usage. Now...

Recently, as of the last winter blast, my explorer started acting strange at higher speeds. Somewhere between 50-60 mph when attempting to accelerate the engine revs, sometimes as high as 4000 rpm the car just lethargically accelerates. I scanned the OBD II and it doesn't throw any transmission...

I have a 2000 5R55e and it has started to act up on cold starts. Takes a good minute to go into gear and slips on take off 1st - 3rd, But when warmers up drives fine. I have read about changing the v-body gasket and EPC Solenoid. Got any advice on what I should do?

So I got "Lemon" [tee hee hee - that's the new name for my ex] back from the the shop - er actually am leaving to go pick her up in a minute from having my new-ish 5r55e trans put in and earlier this week I dropped off a hi-flo perma cool remote filter kit. Well he said that he wouldn't use...

I need to rebuild my 96 4R55E trans. because of a broken intermediate band. Pulling the pan I found 2 strud's and some kind of hinch(? don't know the correct spelling) and a P0756, P0732, P1701 code. But I also need the car to drive to work... So looking around for a T-shop I've come across a...

I just put timing kit and transmission in my 98 E. And now when getting onto the highway it shifts at high RPMs.Is there a way to adjust the shift points with the "kick back cable"? Any input would be help full thanks. P.S.I put 32's and am currently doing a 3" body lift on my 97 X.Can I...

Hello! I really need help! I changed my old 4R55E wich broke a band to a 5R55E from a 1997 Explorer. The tranny was just rebuild. Lockup failed to engage immediatly when I took the car for a test drive. What happens is that when I pass a certain speed (80km/h) lockup should engage but instead...

I'm going to pull the transmission out of the 99 explorer this weekend so I can see if the reason it leaks fluid out between the engine and tranny is just a seal. It still moves if you can keep fluid in it. What is involved with replacing the seal. I bought one for 9 bucks along with a...

I'm trying to find information on swapping a 5r55e to a 4r55e but I haven't been very successful. I see alot of information on 4r55e to 5r55e though. And before anybody starts asking me hard questions... its not for my Mountaineer. My question is for Elessar65's 98 Explorer Thanks guys!!

so i have herd the same definition used for "limp mode" and "lockout" ether way. my sport trac 5R55E transmission has started to blink the o/d off light once i get to 45mph. the shop i took it to first said 2k full mechanical rebuild. then i took it to another shop and they said cant tell for...

Hey all, I've been searching/lurking on this forum for a little while now, mostly trying to see if anyone else has had this problem (and any fixes). Background: We have a 1998 Explorer xlt 4wd with the 4.0 ohv motor, it has around 140k on it. We've had it about 2 years (put about 40k on...

1995 explorer 4.0 4r55e(I think). Intermittent o/d slipping. Ok here goes, 1st thru 4th are fine. When cold o/d works but once the truck is warmed up it will sometimes slip so bad that it throws code 648. Now it doesn't always slip, if I am cruising down the freeway its fine but if I have to...

Technical Expertise required. I start to see transmission fluid in my coolant reservoir, assume that it is the radiator, buy one, and tell my kid to take the explorer and the radiator over to the mechanic. I go out of town for 10 days for my work and the kid drives the explorer around the...

Hello I have a 2000 ranger 4x4, 4.0 (Not sohc), 5r55e trans, 97,000 miles mainly highway, very few in 4wd Recently the truck would clunk when going into reverse, but everything worked ok. Today reverse stoped working, no warning or hesitation, just stopped. Manual first works fine as...

I know a guy who has a '98 SOHC and wanted to know other than '98 whether any other years match up the same in the 5R55E. Would a '99 work? '01? '97? You get the idea. Let me know what you think ASAP.

First off let me say that I had bought a new tranny (Ford part # F87Z-7V000-LARM)-not sure if it's a "4R55E or a 5R55E" installed by Cottman Transmissions at 151,000 miles, mainly because of the OD light issue and it slipping a lot. Pulled a boat for a few summers. Anyways, now there is...

Hi. My 96 Explorer 4.0 SOHC auto had a 4r55e transmission that died a while ago. I found a 98 5r55e box that was working fine i the donorcar. as i read on this forum, i changed over EPC og TCC valves from the 4 speed box. The intension is to get the 5speed box working as a 4 speed. BUT, with...
