I was checking my tranny fluid because of another problem and I saw that the fluid was way up on the dipstick. I mean way up on the dipstick!!!!! I called the tranny shop that did my fluid change and they said that with these tranny's, the 4r55e, that the specs call for over filling the tranny. I THIS TRUE?? I called Ford and they said NO WAY!!!!! That could kill my tranny. So has anyone else heard this from a tranny shop?
Also has anyone ever heard of this, it's in bold print:
4R44E / 4R55E
These transmission are rear wheel drive 4 speed automatics, that are all computer controlled. Common symptoms are overdrive light flashing, transmission shifting erratic, slipping or not shifting at all. External sensors on the vehicle like the throttle position sensor or vehicle speed sensor quite often go bad, causing these symptoms. If you screw the force motor in 1/2 turn the transmission has better shifts and engagements.I recommend that you always replace the boost valve when rebuilding any Ford transmission.
Always run a scanner first to see if a sensor is causing your problem.
What is the force motor and has anyone ever tried this? The website I got this from is: http://www.usatransdoctor.com/DomesticFORDselectandAnswers.htm#4R44E
Any input is surely welcome.
