I just rebuilt the 5R55E out of my 01 2wd explorer, it wasnt shifting into OD so I figured I would go ahead and give it a full rebuild while it was out. I replaced the clutch packs and steels, rebuild the valve body with a transgo kit(with help from this forum), and replaced the EPC+TCC solenoids plus installed a brand new torque converter. Now that I re installed the transmission and filled it with fluid, it shifts through the ranges fine like before, but now it is constantly engaged in forward no matter what range I am in (P,R,N,D,1). They dont all feel the same though, in park I can feel that the engine and trans are linked when I rev, but it doesnt jerk forward like it does when I am in any other gear. The range selector control box on the side of the trans is fine, and its adjusted correctly, but for some reason I cant shift all the way down into 2nd gear. The pump is working because I can feel the lines heat up by the cooler... Does anyone have any ideas on what I might have messed up? Ive rebuilt transmissions before but this was my first ford. I took my time, used the ATSG manual, adjusted the bands according to specs, made sure to clean the hell outta the VB... I dont know what I couldve done wrong, please give me some ideas guys. Thanks
