5R55S Transmission - Repair - part - 2

[@gertis7420]

Hi Hiram, All i want to say is thank you very much. Thanks to your videos on this transmission, i was able to fix my ford explorer. Mya transmission was giving me a code for solenoid b, i replaced solenoid pack, no change. So i followed your video and replaced the overdrive components. The band was bare metal and scored the drum and planetary gear was all messed up. now is running great. You saved me at least $1800, Thanks again.

[@ricky-ericon8311]

This is wisdom my grand father would of love to have back in his time, thank you sir for all the tips and knowledge. Sharing is caring 🙌🙏

[@tmg6tech]

Thankyou SOOOO much. You solved one of my problems with this video. Can't thank you enough

[@anthonyforgey3518]

Hiram, you are a genius. I've watched a number of your video (including the whole 700r4 teardown and reassembly as well as the valve body upgrades with the transgo kit). Unbelievable knowledge. keep it up!

Hi Hiram, Great Video Series! Saved my wallet with your videos. 'Rebuilt' my 04 Explorer 5R55S tranny after broken center band. 75k miles extremely clean inside when I dropped the pan. Replace the following: Net clutch Discs New Bands, New Servos (o-ring type) New solenoid pack New Seals/gaskets I am still getting slight shudder when starting slow. More so when up to op temp, while turning steering to side. It is not PS pump. Did not check clearance on clutch discs before reassembly, Found that video later. •What is your thought on new clutch discs being the correct spec out of box? I did NOT: replace pump parts. replace Torque converter replace pressure disc on the back of one drum, Do not have compression foot operated tool you have. What are your thought on why is still causing problem. I'm ok to open it up again but I'd like to do it ONE more time, not multiple times. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the backyard mechanics out here. Bernie Valentin

[@davemall1]

Have you ever seen a servo snap ring start to come out of the groove? My explorer developed an ATF leak and I notice the snap ring was almost half way out of the groove on the large bore. I need to get a better look, but it looks like the groove is intact. I am not sure if I can just push the cap back in and reseat/replace the snap ring or if it is a sign of a much bigger problem. My servo bores were repaired about 200.000 miles ago. The transmission was working fine until the fluid leaked out.

[@AutomaticTransmission]

Those snap rings are hard to remove. There's a possibility that the snap ring was not seated while installing it. If you have no issues with the transmission you can just push the servo in and seat the snap ring.

[@davemall1]

@@AutomaticTransmission Someone mentioned that it could be the valve in the pump stuck closed causing an over pressure situation. Does that sound possible to you?

[@luisfernandogutierrezdiaz5031]

q tal hiram me gustan mucho tus vídeos cada vez aprendo más cosas me gustaría q hicieras un vídeo de la 5r55 en español gracias

[@timdickens2871]

I'm going to rebuild my 5R55S in my mercury mountaineer all wheel drive because ur video is very detailed my I seen my dad rebuild a hundred transmissions Chevy & Ford but I was too young to understand but I been in the shop as a child I can do anything & everything but never rebuilt a transmission I always thought my dad would be here forever I guess but he's been gone for 13 years now thanks man ur videos are great

[@eli-mu1fx]

Thank you for this very informative walk-through. I now believe I can fix my 5R55S transmission myself instead of sending it back to the "Machanic" who just recently told me I would need a new transmission. Keep up the great work!!!

[@bigstick9340]

another excellent video my friend !!! I'm a retired Trans tech and your videos are second to none. thanks again !!

[@seangriest7949]

Very informative great job good video

[@dxta7360]

Nice job you're doing sir! Pls what's the brand name of the digital torque wrench you're using? Can you provide a link on it? Thanks

[@MrViolentmustang]

have you ever seen a 5r55s with the center vent hole to be plugged with what appears to be a check ball? don't know if it's an aftermarket part, but I've never seen it before. Thanks for the info Hiram.

[@wayneshinkaruk2653]

Hi Hiram, Thanks so much for your videos on the 5r55s trany. I have learned a lot from them. I been a GM technician for over 30 years I have built GM tranys but not a Ford 5r55s. I am currently overhauling one. I have a question for you. I am about to put the trany back together with a SK5r55w Transgo shift kit that you recommend installing. Do you recommend drilling the holes in the support for the overdrive sun gear and in the pump orifice with this kit?? If so what is the size of the hole that is drilled in the sun gear support and the orifice in the pump. The Transgo shift kit that I got doesn't have the drill bits and this upgrade is not mentioned in the kit . Thanks for your time, It is Greatly Appreciated!

Hello Hiram, thanks for being a good teacher. Is there an alternative to the dial indicators to measure the clutch clearance? Thanks

[@mikazoid100]

thanks so much for this detailed tutorial, you're awesome bro.

[@qualityrenov]

You are a pro and I take my hat off to you.

[@harrycash8713]

How much do you charge to rebuild a transmission without counting parts,?

[@samrugtiv3839]

Real good job, lot's of work in oh that baby.sam

[@omarkuika]

megusta como va explicando paso a paso

[@johnmckamy6398]

I didn't see you put any check balls before you put the valve body , I'm not familiar with this trans ,so I don't know if it takes any check balls . I could have missed it because I keep getting interrupted . love the video Hiram.

[@johnmckamy6398]

thank you sir,

[@jorgemontoya3193]

Perron el video Hiram , tengo una pregunta arme mi tranny en 03 aviator y la manejo y una d con una raya atravesada apárese puede ser que el aceite se caliente? Gracias

[@AutomaticTransmission]

Hay que escanear para ver si es código de transmisión. Puede ser otra cosa.

[@srbman6941]

hi, Great Video, Thx, can you tell me if it is possible just to put in the Valve Body kit only if nothing is broken? My issue is No reverse and slips out of drive to neutral when leaving a dead stop , 1st and 2nd work and all works on the Hwy. Don

[@White-Label-LBC]

I rebuilt my sons whole transmission, your video gave me the confidence to take it on.. Thanks Hiram.. I will let you know if it runs LOL, I am torqueing the valve body now.

[@phouse123]

Hey very informative video !!! One question... I need a good recommendation on a 5r55s transmission rebuild kit including bands and all the seals and bearing ?

[@Samwill8]

Try Amazon... look for "Wellington Parts Corp Ford 5R55W 5R55S Transmission Overhaul Deluxe Rebuild Kit". That's the kit I used. It comes with everything except bearings.

[@jamesroyster9466]

hey I'm working on a 5 R 55 w and the overdrive planetary has burned up twice already what could be causing this issue?

[@kevinjohnson9372]

How much did the amazon rebuild kit cost. And theres a video on drilling some oil flow hole on the over drive thing and i think it provides better lubrication and prevents that from happening

[@hjhj2906]

Hello, I have a Mustang 2006 gt automatic, a big slam at 90 mils and nothing else my lever passes all the report may the car advance can you tell me what its can be please. do not pay attention to my rotten english i'm french

[@nathanvereb]

Hiram thanks for all the great videos regarding this transmission! I am almost done with my rebuild, how can I make sure my oil pump is aligned properly without the transgo alignment tool? I bought the superior kit and am kicking myself now realizing it doesn't come with an alignment tool. Let me know if there is another way without the expensive ford alignment kit, thanks!

[@growingyourhealth4503]

any of the hard parts on a 5r55e the same on a 5r55s/w

i repair a 5r55s off of a 06 ford explorer and it shifts kind of hard now 12 23 34 not as bad 4 to 5 but you can really feel it when you put it on drive or on reverse seems like i have high line pressure all the time and this is supposed to be normal after a rebuild or a battery disconect because of a relearn process now if that does not go away what i need to do then Hiram

[@rouanybarrientos6029]

well now forward planet ring gear and sunshell are broke

[@reble_uwu3405]

hi, i recently tore my transmission apart, like this one 5r55s, from a 2005 mustang gt. i found some of the clutches were warped like they were pushed in with force. the warp tapered from the outside in. what would cause this? does anyone know something similar to this failure?

[@tedthornton7791]

Cool well done informative video sir. Jist bought a used 5r55s tranny to have it professionally installed in our 231000 08 explorer , 4.0. Came out of a 03, 4.6, Aviator with 83000 miles. The convertor will be used from our explorer . Sure wish they had come with a dipstick. Lol. Summit Racing has a deep pan that comes with a dipstick. PA27455KT part #. That bad boy is $292.00. Ouch. Trying to find one at a better price. You have any experience with these kits? Your vidro was insightful. Thanks for posting. Good day sir. Live long and prosper.

Question for anyone, what controls pressure/flow to the cooler lines?? Rebuilt my trans about 3,500 miles ago with no problems everything was within spec flowing the ATSG manual, installed superior shift kit , new torque converter, and cooler. Took the car on a long car trip and no problems till the last 10 miles when the trans boiled the fluid out and was over heating.

[@bcdouglas1]

Hiram great video, i have watched a number of your videos. i enjoy watching them. your voice and some of the things you say remind me of my day in tech school the instructure had basicly the same teaching ways that your have of showing who you rebuild or repair transmissions. i thank you for your informative and easy to understand videos keep up the great work.

[@dsalinas731]

How much would you charged to rebuild a 2006 mustang gt automatic transmission? A shop told me it would be a little over 5k for it and didn’t want to explain why.

[@dojocho1894]

Anyone have any suggestions? I have this tranny on a 2003 Jag S type 4.2 The tranny runs great except when It goes from the low gear up to the next it does occasionally make a clunk sound when that happens it throws a gearbox fault the car then goes into limp mode and you can only drive it 20mph. You then shut the car off wait a minute restart and it clears it then you drive it normal....Jag mechanic online say there is a sensor that throws the gear box fault to protect the motor. It only happens in that low gear sequence. Some say its not the tranny at all thats its a misfire from a coil. Anyone got any ideas? thanks

[@clarity421]

Very informative video! You're a great teacher!

You have no idea how much you have helped me! I do have 1 question, I see you use a couple different color trans lubes, I have seen yellow, red, blue and green, what's the difference between them?

[@RaphO27]

Mr. Hiram I have some trouble installing my center support. It doesn’t want to seat deep enough to install the snap ring. I’ve engaged the 5 gears like you showed but no luck

[@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF]

Cool, thanks, specially the beer belly to install the servo snap ring.

[@iamchillfreak3443]

Input shaft question. Does long spline go into the pump? Facing engine. Then short spline to the trans?

[@LameGuyStuff]

Can you tell me where to find the plastic thrust washer that goes between the pump and the overdrive section?

[@jendress7842]

Finally a video I can relate to and understand. I just needed assurance with the pump install and I was so involved with the way he was rebuilding it, I watched the rest of the video and then watched it 2 more times. Much appreciated. Hope I get my Exploder rolling once again ! Thanks for the help and useful videos !

[@ozzstars_cars]

Glad we got Part 2 to watch , thanks Hiram. Whats the difference between what you did here and a rebuild? You replaced a lot of stuff

[@purplexenno]

+Ozzstar the stuff he replaced was used. If it was a rebuild he would have used a "rebuild kit" (seals, o-rings, etc...) and then replaced all three bands with new and then replace any hard parts with new. This was just a "get it working" job.

[@sudanusnet]

if I want to testing the transmission on benching machine is it possible? if yes which the best benching testing machine ?

[@javiepuebla]

thanks Hiram

[@ميكانيكميكانيك-د9و]

you very very veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy goooooood man i'm sory i'm no understand englesh very good

[@DougHanchard]

Like common sense thinking during the band installation tips and servo's. Special tools do have their place, but anytime it's possible to not use them is superb thinking. Knowing what you know now about this 'case', if the same torque converter is being used, isn't it just going to send contaminated fluid right back into this unit - or is there a way to flush converters?

[@s197stang8]

Hey Hiram do you know the size of the output shaft nut for a 5r55s transmission?

Needs to be installed. Not sure what will happen but I don't think its a good idea to leave it out.

[@BigJsgarage]

Hi Hiram,First thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I enjoy watching a true craftsmen at work and you sir are a craftsmen. I have a 1996 Dodge Dakota 5.2 liter V8 2 door extended cab 2 wheel drive SLT trim package and a tow package. Can you tell me what transmission is in my truck? If the VIN number will help let me know I do not want to put it on here.The stickers under the hood are unreadable and the sticker in the door jam has no info on it.

[@schmopiebrown4558]

Great videos. I am working on a 2004 ford explorer XLT. I am looking to replace everything from the center mount (I believe it's called) to the pump.... the input and output shafts are good but sun shield, bands, servo etc. Need replacement. Can you possibly post a link or two on where I can purchase these? Hopefully a couple of kits will get the job done for less than it would cost to replace transmission with new or remanufactured. Thank you.
