2001 Sport Trac Tranny problems

[rayk5799]

Hello Everyone.........

I have a 2001 Sport Trac and the 2nd and 3rd gear seems to be slipping with only 70,000 miles.

Someone mentioned that it could be the Valve Body and to replace it with P/N
1L5Z - 7Z490 - HA.

Can anyone verify this info and should this be attempted by a semi-mechanic or should it be a tranny shop?? ANd if it could be done by myself, can someone walk me through the procedure.

Thanks for the assistance.

Welcome to this forum! Read the 5R55E valve body rebuild diary in the transmission forum. It is a sticky on the top of that section.

VB stuff is something you can do... and there are many, many folks here who have DIY'd it successfully.. in other words, you came to the right place.

Thanks for all the help and I think this forum is the best.
