Hello all,
I am working on rebuilding my 2000 5r55e transmission after a flashing overdrive light and loosing forward gears. A p0731 code was pulled and I had dark burned smelling transmission fluid. 172,000 on the clock.
Tearing down the transmission I discovered that my forward clutches we're cooked. Ordered up a master rebuild kit and I am replaceing all clutches, steels, seals, bushings and a new torque converter. Most hard parts looked to be in good shape except for the forward input shell which had quite a bit of ware, which I replaced. Also ordered up a remanufactued sonnax valve body, since I could only remove half the valves for cleaning due to ware in the unit.
I am getting ready to reinstall the fluid pump and I am looking at the new front pump support seal ring that came in my kit. It is a hard nylon seal that does not stretch very much. My question is what is the correct procedure for instaling this seal?
I've spent some time researching this forum but have not found my answer.
Thanks for everyone's time.
