What trannies did the 2002 and up Explorers and Mountaineers have?

I'm not impressed with the 5R55e in my '98 EB 4X4 and if I had known, would have bought a V8 Ex just to get the 4R70W. I may be looking to trade for a 2002 or so Mountaineer.

What other issues are the 2002 up EXs and Mounties known for?

Both V6 and V8s had a version of the 5R55E. The one in our 4.6 '02 crapped the bed at 33k. Not to mention a list of other various problems we've had with it.

I thought the 4.6L explorer had a 4r70W automatic?

 

[IAmTodd]

Nope. Its like the 5R55W/S/N something like that. Not sure which. Its a 5 speed.

5r55w

 

[IAmTodd]

I think S is the V6 and N is the Lincoln LS

So, no 2002+ explorer or mounty has the 4R70W or equivelant?

2002+?
what year are we talking?

Nope. 2001 was the last year. It was only found behind the 302 in the Explorer.

Whichever option combo doesn't have the 5R55e. Looking for something with a little more strength to tow a light camper as well as haul the family.

What do the 06's have? I 've heard mention of them also having 5 spd autos. I can't imagine the 5R55e holding 300 Hp.
