Hey guys I have a 99 4.0 explorer sport with the auto trans and its acting up. The tranny is starting to slip between shifting gears and sometimes it wont move unless you take it up to 5000 rpms, and the OD light has been flashing in it. I found a used tranny for $75 its a 5r55e. I'm guessing all of the trannys in these are the same? Mine has the 4.0 OHV and the auto tranny with 4x4 auto, high, and low. The tranny I'm looking to buy is out of a 2000 with the same motor so it should be the same right? The guy says it shifts fine and was working before he pulled it out (head gasket popped in the explorer it was in) My main questions are are these trannys the same in all of them, if not how do you identify what tranny is in your explorer, and most importantly...Is there a way to tell if the tranny is any good once it is out of the vehicle without ripping it apart or taking the pan off? I mean for $75 im not worried too much about it I would just like to know if there is a way to tell before I go and look at it tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help!
