5R55S Transmission woes

[08EddieCA]

I knew about Explorer tranny issues prior to buying our 2010 4.6 a few years ago at 80k miles. it is now 130k w no probs. I used research at carcomplaints.com to help w my decision to buy. Data clearly shows that in 2009 Ford had a design change that eliminated the issue. Find out what that change was and I suspect you will find how to fix the root cause of problem.

In my experience my issue or main focus of the rebuild was the quality of the machine work on the case addressing the servo bores. The parts used to create the “new” bore sleeve may also have some impact. For me the issue has been shifting into Reverse. I also paid for a new/rebuilt TCU along with numerous hard parts. I havent had any issues with my rebuild ( side note: the motor rebuild was a complete disaster, Lol!)
