Hello.
I need your help to identify the 5R55W transmission defect. So far, the transmission has worked perfectly.
I switched in reverse, and without accelerating, the car began to move backwards, just as it starts when you select in the drive, the road being straight. The moment I accelerated slightly, a shock was heard and felt and no matter how much I accelerated, nothing happens, the car does not move back.
1, 2, 3, D, P, O / D - works perfectly!
R (Reverse) - no matter how much I accelerate the engine, nothing happens. If the road is straight, it moves slowly just as it moves in the Drive without accelerating.
I'm waiting for your opinions.
Thank you!

P.S. I apologize if I did not express myself correctly, but I do not know English and I use translation programs.

Unfortunately it sounds like the reverse band has failed, you can remove the pan and see if you can tell if the band is broken. More than likely the transmission will have come out and be rebuilt.
 






Thanks for the reply.
If it is the reverse band in the picture, it is clear that the transmission must be dismantled.
From what I read, it is recommended the complete reconditioning of the transmission by a specialized workshop.

Yes the reverse band is the last thing left in the case when you take the transmission apart and the first thing installed when building this transmission.
 






Hello.
How do I identify the model in the transmission ?! The label says:
BL2202
1 2L2PBA
3 157746
4 BD2L12
Is it 5R55W or 5R55S?
It was mounted on Explorer 4.0 V6
Thanks.
 






What month was your car built?
 






What month was your car built?
I do not know...
I only have the series on the transmission label ... And that it was mounted on Explorer V6 (2002 - 2004). I wanted to know if it fits on the Explorer V8 2002 model 5R55W.
 












I have same issue except reverse works in 4low. 2004 explorer xlt 4.0 v6 4x4 build date: 08/03
It also works for me in Reverse on Low, but up to a certain effort. If the effort increases, skate in Low.
