Here are all the known problems with the 5R55W transmissions to my knowledge:
Once these issues are corrected with a complete rebuild, your new transmission should be bullet proof with these updates.
- Servo bores need to be updated to correct 2-3 and 4-5 shift flares by installed a copper bushing into the servo bore
- A new solenoid pack needs to be installed to correct delayed reverse engagement
- Also needs a new valve in pump to correct intermittant neutral condition when coming to a stop
