5R55W Valve Body

[drbowman]

I'm getting ready to change the fluid and filter in my 2002 Explorer and I thought
I should check the valve body bolts while I was in there. Does anyone know what the torque specs are for these bolts? Thanks.

89 inch. lbs. Make sure you use a "INCH LBS." torque wrench, not a ft. lbs. If you look in the stickys at the top of this forum for the "Transmission 101" thread, in post #17 Brooklyn Bay posts a link to a complete rundown of the 5R55W that opens in Adobe Reader. Take a quick look at it.

Thanks.

That PDF on the 5R55W is the most thorough article on the 5R55W that I've come across so far.

That was definately a good find Brooklyn. I just stumbled on it by chance, its kinda hidden in that 101 thread......
