Where could I buy a 5R55E shift kit?

The ATSG manual has a diagram. I wasn't able to find a diagram of it, but I found the bolt torque sequence in Glacier991's photo gallery:

Just for information sakes, where did you get all of your parts, its good to list the companies and sites you purchased from so others can do the same if need be.

You'll love the 5r after all this grief, I was actually getting ready to buy all the parts to do the transgo Update/Shift kit and shift solenoid when my torque converter took a complete dump on me.

Had a guy redo mine with the transgo, shift solenoid, and updated valve body with Synthetic ATF from Mobil 1. It shifts very nice now and with a good solid feel. Good luck with everything and your at the right spot, these guys know everything and it'll be a great learning experience.

Darn, I wish I would have read this post earlier...

CENTRALVALVEBODIES.COM

For $249.99 plus tax you get a rebuilt valve body with all of the Sonnax upgrades PLUS a new, custom separator plate. All NEW solenoids. Includes all ATSG manual pages for installation.

Tell Donny you heard about him on Explorer Forums and he gives a 10% discount.

This valve body is the BEST you can get for the 5R55E!!!

Oh, by the way, I have my old valve body...

Had a blown gasket and bad EPC solenoid...cheap to fix.

If anyone wants it, take it, it's yours. Free. I'm in Binghamton, NY, just cover the shipping obviously.

Oh, it's off my '99 Ranger, 5R55E.

can you please put this into another thread im trying to solve my tranny issues in this one

 

[GTexplorer]

the rebuilt VB is in and i drove it to school today. about halfway there, the O/D light started flashing again fluid, filter, V/B, gaskets are all new. everything was torqued down correctly. only thing i didnt do as planned was adjust the bands. but i dont think that would cause O/D light to flash. any ideas please? thanks

 

[GTexplorer]

update-ive narrowed it down to overdrive. i have all of my other gears as normal, but when i reach a speed ro switch into overdrive, the light starts flashing and it wont shift. when i mash the button on the shifter, it does nothing. so i basically have no overdrive. what did i do wrong? do i need to adjust my bands?

 

[BrooklynBay]

What codes number do you have? It could have a bad servo or the band might need an adjustment.

 

[GTexplorer]

no codes. servo looked good when i cleaned it. so you think it could be bands? i wanted to adjust them but i didnt have a wrench the right size to hold the locknut.

 

[BrooklynBay]

Do you have a socket that will fit on the adjusting studs? You will need to use a torque wrench.

 

[GTexplorer]

yes ill look. and i borrowed the torque wrench for the VB bolts so ill get that again

GT, I posted up my VB because people who have similar problems typically pay attention to posts like yours hoping to find some insight into their problem too.

Just trying to help someone out. Tryin' to help YA'ALL out (is that how you say it?). Hah. No disrespect intended...I'm just a damned Yankee and proud of it!!!

 

[GTexplorer]

sorry i undertand, i was at school and after a week of waitin for parts and workin on this thing to find out its still messin up, i got a short fuse and was expecting some replys bout my O/D.

 

[GTexplorer]

Bump- still no overdrive and flashing O/D light once i reach 50 or so. didnt get to adjust bands today. is it even bands? does a bad band throw a tranny code or is it something else?
