reverse servo

[jonafer]

In the valvebody diaries it states round seals on the reverse servo. Then replace them with d rings? What if the servo has no seals? Mine did not ? Should I put some on it? will it help? does it only work the reverse? It is a 2000 5R55E.

There are 2 seals (at least there should be). One is small while the other is large. The kit is called the TransTec D ring kit. This link explains a little more: http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/A4LD_4R44E_5R55E_reverse_servo_D_ring_kit_p/230-00023256k.htm

The low/reverse band in the A4LD applies in reverse and manual 1st.

My servo has the groves for them but no seal's. It work's fine, should I put some on it?

How was it working until now? Did you ever experience a delay going into reverse or manual 1st gear? Could you post a picture of the servo just so that we know we're talking about the same part?

 

[jonafer]

yes there is a 5 sec delay going into reverse. When I take it out to put the seal on it I will take the pic. It is the round device in the trans, when you remove the pan there is the valve body, Then in the back bottom a plate with four bolt remove that and the gasket then the device or servo will fall out. Is this correct? It has the groves for seal's but when I installed the ford update kit and this servo fell out and there was no seal on it. So will this help in shifting if I add the seals?

Yes!
