One more question 2005 5r55w exp transmissions

[High_Order1]

I'll start off by saying I'm sorry.

I've been poring over all the diaries, and trying to sponge up all I can. One question that keeps popping up for me, is how much of this is applicable to the 2005 end of the 02-05 5r55 transmissions??

For instance, I have read about a correction kit. Is this kit already incorporated into my 05?


I posted instead of PM because I had hopes this might clear things up for some other owners.


Thanks,

The correction kits from Transgo, Sonnax or Superior don't come with an OEM Ford valve body. This is why they are called correction kits.

right.

I understand no valve body...

What I am asking, is, is there a need to install that correction kit in the later transmissions?

Like, there is a few identified problems in the 5R55E/S. Did Ford pay attention, and incorporate the fixes into the /W?

If I install the correction kit in a 05 /W, would I just be replacing parts with the same parts?

I think the kits were intended for valve bodies with a little wear since they could leak, and lose hydraulic pressure. Some examples of this are with the Sonnax O ringed end plugs or the O ringed boost valve. A little material gets taken out of the bore with use (the EPC & TCC modulated solenoids are known for this). Cleaning the VB with wire brushes also takes out a small amount of material even if it's not much.
