Solved Transmission and Axle codes.

Towing and the xmission ....hmmmm

My 2005 Sport Trac has a Code of "D" on the door sticker which according to the above posts means it has a A5LDE / 5R44/ 55E xmission. Now the dumb part......what does that tell me about the transmission...especially since I'm thinking of towing.

Front Diff Year compatibility?

I have a 96 5.0L AWD Eddie Bauer. The front diff is starting to grumble, am I correct in thinking that given the correct ratio, they should swap from 96 to 01?

I also have a 99 Explorer Limited with a growly front axle. The dor code says D4, which I assume means a 3.73 rear, does this mean the front must also be a 3.73? Logic would seem to dictate that, but I want to make sure before I buy a replacement.

thanks!

 

[IZwack]

Yes, it must.

 

[mhardig]

Sweet. At least now I know what I need to GET, but I should probably still confirm this by looking at the tag on the unit, correct? (it'd be my luck someone replaced the door!)Where is the tag usually located- one of the bolts you can't reach with the diff in the vehicle?

Thanks for the extremely rapid reply, btw.

The tag is usually connected to one of the bolts.

Welcome to this forum! Are you sure that it's not a "D" (5R55E)?

__________________________________________

97 explorer trans

i feel like a complete plonker ......... ill put it down to old age ..... i have just realised i was looking under the wrong "TR" part on the label .... so it appears i do in fact have a 5R55E ?? Im not usually so slow !!

 

[BrooklynBay]

Thanks for the update! This makes more sense. Don't feel bad about making a mistake. It has to happen to everybody in order to learn new things.

from what i read above and through this forum the 96 with a 4.0 should not come with a 4r70w but thats what my door says it has. the only reason im looking is to find a trans for it since it just quit the other day after a year of problems with it.

 

[fordexsploder95]

Are the transmission and axle codes correct on the above diagram. I have a 1995 ford explorer and i want to know if a 1994 transmission will fit in it.
T (1992-1995) ..... A4LD
T (1996-2001) ...... 4R55E

But it looks different on the pans. I read the 95 was computer controlled please help,

 

[BrooklynBay]

Welcome to this forum! You have a 4R55E transmission.

 

[alohamonte]

I need some help as well.

I have an automatic transmission. Door tag says "D" and this is a 1998 V6 OHV.

D (1997-2005) ..... A5LDE / 5R44/55E

So is that the 5R55E, a 5-speed auto? I would have sworn it is a 4 spd...

 

[BrooklynBay]

You have a 5R55E 5 speed automatic transmission.

My transmission code says "V" which is supposed to be 5R55S, but I've read other things that says its 5R55W. Its a 2003 XLT 4X4 4.0. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks

Sticker doesn't lie unless it or your transmission has been replaced.

I have a 1995 XLT with the transmission code 'T' on the door, however it has a 4r55e in it. I have been inside it once already and it is definitely not a a4ld as it has all 6 solenoids etc. curious if anyone else has noticed anything like this?

I have a 95 Eddie Bauer and I have the same issue. According to the chart in this thread, we should both have the A4, but it appears this may be wrong.

I had this same issue when I rebuilt the transfer case.

so, anyone know how to identify the transmission by looking at it, rather than relying on the door tag? I want to order a kit but I want to make sure its the right one. Thank you in advance
