What Transmission Would Work???

[SSthis79]

Hello guys Im new to the forum and my 01' explorer sport trans just blew at 145k and have been looking around to find a replacement. Its a 5r55e commonly found on rangers and mazdas. I found a decently priced used one off of a 04' ranger. Would that fit? Does any 5r55e fit or do only specific years fit? Thanks in advance fellas.

5r55e (trans code 'D'): '97-'09 4.0L Ranger and '98-'01 4.0L Explorer.

From "The Ranger Station.com":
The 5R55E is a computer controlled rear wheel drive automatic transmission used in 1997 and newer Ford Rangers and is identified by transmission code 'D'. This is a computer controlled rear wheel drive overdrive transmission. The 5R55E, though mechanically identical to the older 4R55E, was a five-speed transmission, the first produced by an American maker. The ability to produce five forward gears is by improved software control. The 5R55E introduced adaptive shift control and sophisticated friction to friction shift ability. The 5R55E introduced Directional high energy frictions and eliminated all but one thrust washer with high-capacity thrust bearings. It was the first 5-speed electronically controlled transmission in an American vehicle. It was designed for the high-torque 4.0 L SOHC and 4.0 L OHV Cologne SOHC V6.

Gear Ratios:
1st = 2.47:1
2nd = 1.87:1
3rd = 1.47:1
4th = 1.00:1
5th = 0.75:1
Reverse = ?.??:1
