I have a 2002 Explorer 4.0 AWD with the 5r55 trans. About 60K ago it was rebuilt by a local shop that I paid WAY too much to do. They had it in there 3 times before it was finally "right". Recently it has started acting up. After sitting over night it won't move in reverse. If you give it gas it MAY move slowly backwards but it feels like its slipping (so i dont do that). If you move it to N and let it idle for 30 seconds then back to R everything is OK. Almost like its loosing its "prime" and needs to pump back up. Once warmed up it goes through the day just fine. I also have been noticing some converter shudder on lock up sometimes. Fluid and filter change made no difference. Any suggestions? Should I start saving up for rebuild? If it needs gone through again I may try to do it myself. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Is this trans a 5r55W and not an "e"?
