    5R55S drives forward just fine / Reverse only works if I do not press the gas

    New user here. I am having an issue with what I believe to be the transmission on my 05 ford explorer 4X2 XLS. I believe it has a 5R55S transmission and I came up with that by doing a VIN check online. It seems like when I drive forward everything seems normal. When I put it in reverse it...

    Does anyone know if a 6L2P 7000 EB (2006) will be fully interchangeable with a 2L2P 7000 AA (2003)? Both vehicles are 4.0L XLT's. Called the dealer and did searches -- posting here before calling a salvage yard... Thanks.

    No forward or reverse

    I have an 05 Explorer XLT 4x4 that I just finished a transmission rebuild. It had no forward prior to the rebuild. It slammed into reverse and was rough. Now that the rebuild is complete, it won't go forward or reverse. I've double checked all of the connections, and everything looks good...
