I bought a replacement reverse servo piston from the Ford dealership. They told me there was only one replacement servo piston they sell for the 5r55e transmission now. Apparently there used to be like three different sizes. Now when I compare the original servo piston with the new servo piston, the new one is shorter, but it appears to engage the reverse band when I press down on it.
Does anyone know if there was a design change. I'm thinking that maybe the shorter length places less stress on the reverse band when it's not engaged to lengthen the life of the reverse band?
Will the transmission still engage reverse with a shorter reverse servo piston? Should I send it back? Replace with an exact match?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
