5r55w 02 Explorer XLT

[Neonano12]

Is there a chance to swap for a different transmission that is not the 5r55w? I feel this transmission wasn't really designed to handle very much torque since the intermittent band is broken. I just want to avoid putting in another 5r55w that's 99.9999% going to do the same thing at anytime.

I'm not sure but I think that you are limited to the 5R55W.

Other members have had them "Beefed Up" with good results.

The band didn't break because of torque.

@Hugh Janus
Why do bands break, anyway? imp
