5R55S Transmission - Repair - part - 2

[@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

[@renedehoyos1]

Hi, is this transmission ( 5R55S ) fits on my ford explorer 4.0 l?. Is (4x4 ).

[@AutomaticTransmission]

Yes, it would be the same. Your output shaft is different.

[@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.

[@michaelfry9412]

Thank you for this ! 5 years later and it's still helping people. You awesome bro.

[@cesardavila495]

Glad I found this video and channel, very informative and detailed even after nearly 9 years. Going to start tackling my own rebuild on my '07 GT by referencing off of this video. My trans won't drive in D or R, only low gears 1,2, and 3. Wish me luck!

[@danielporter892]

Hiram helped me dissasemble a 4R44E last nigh.Would never even thought of taking apart an automatic. I feel pretty confident about rebuilding it.Was all night in my sleep! Thanks Hiram!

[@bigstick9340]

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

[@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!!!

[@radarbuzylvarmand1528]

I want to say thank you very much. I had just fix my 5r55s for mustang. I made it done watching you step by step. Thank you 🙏

[@ithoughtitoldyou1956]

This guy Hiriem has a video of a GMC 4L80E Rebuild and I Set up a long table and put my computer in the garage and followed him set by set using a rebuild kit and the transmission is my truck and works perfectly. and has being going for the last 6 yrs now about 70, 000 miles without any problems. This guy is awesome !!! Now I Own a 2008 Mountaineer Premier and I am watching him again.

[@sk8hard40]

I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT HOW GREAT A TEACHER YOU ARE. YOUR VIDEOS ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE. YOU ARE RIGHT ON POINT. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO FIND YOUR VIDEOS.

[@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.

[@HadiBarakat-gx8iu]

6 months Later ! .. Will ? Success or Fail .. i wanna do mine also lool !

[@LiilTyweezy]

Did it run

[@brettnelson9388]

Very good work and info, instruction and exceptionally well explained. By a master that is extremely knowledgable. Thanks Hiram

[@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!

[@robertwilbur7106]

Happy mother’s birthday

[@cesardetoledo7812]

Exelente

[@mywest8872]

Thanks Hiram for taking the time to show us your tips for this transmission!

[@AutomaticTransmission]

My pleasure!

[@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 !

[@ithoughtitoldyou1956]

Absolutely Amazing !! Imagine where the world would be today without guys like this.

[@Inkd_watkins]

This is a life saver. Got thrown into the fire with this one !! Thanks Hiram !!

[@renedehoyos1]

Great video, very explicit. I have a question, my ford explorer is ( 4x4 )this kind of transmission ( 5R55S ,) is the same for my ford explorer 4.0l. ( 4x4 )

[@steveallen5496]

You do what the customer wants you to do. Happy NY Hiram. Your vids always fascinating and informative. Thanks I wish I was closer to you, I need 97 accord rebuilt.

[@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 🙌🙏

[@dustinwb84]

Thank you. I checked out alot of videos about how to replace the servo bore's and you did it justice!

[@AutomaticTransmission]

Thanks

[@noelchafe8384]

Thanks to your video's I rebuilt my own tranny and it's working great. Thanks man :)

[@Almeshtages3]

im very happy to see this Great video from man I think he is professional I enjoyed when I see Hiram in repairs

[@mikazoid100]

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

[@larrybroad8746]

ow-sum video i learned a lot i dont know shit about how to repair 5r55s trans thanks to your video i did the repair my trans myself and it works great thanks again. Larry B clearlake ca

[@АлександрМалахов-о8ъ]

Great video! A real professional. Good luck!

[@michaelfrancis3261]

Man i love your videos, feels like a classroom. I'm all the way in the Bahamas enjoying this please keep them coming,

[@davidfreiman7418]

This is oh so familiar to me. I used to have a 2002 Explorer. Of course the 5r55w that it had quit working. My brother-in-law is a diesel mechanic and helped a lot with the wrenching. Between the two of us we got it fixed. Hiram mentioned the case wearing in the tear down. That was the problem with mine. It causes the servos to quit pushing on the band with any real force. The case can be repaired with a special tool, which includes sleeving the servo bore with a brass bushing. Much better than original.

[@Jordan7Williams]

Amazing video thank you for taking the time to film these strips

[@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.

[@1tufhk]

Great video successfully repaired broken intermediate band thanks for sharing

[@rbarr1200]

Hiram I love your videos. You make transmissions understandable and very very very interesting.

[@carlosramos235]

Made use of your videos par 1 and 2 to do a rebuilt and turn out fantastic thank you again keep up the good work on trans

[@valleycatx2]

Probably the best descriptive video I've watched, thanks for sharing!

[@alexfal8206]

Excellent job super informative best trans vid

[@WS1_AUTOS_N_STUFF]

🤘🤩👍 awesome! Enjoyed watching! Funny how there’s specialty tools for things I would never think suggested for 😆 You’re video gave me confidence to do this

[@AutomaticTransmission]

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

[@clarity421]

Very informative video! You're a great teacher!

[@marksalter6569]

Best videp of the year..👍

[@TheLualgaro]

Awesome video! Didn´t know much about transmissions and ALL the parts that are involved. Two Tumbs up!

[@mljantz]

Thank you for the excellent video. Helped me exactly where I needed it.

[@tmg6tech]

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

[@johntvrdy4473]

Hiram, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge. Great vids,

[@Benbenford]

It was very very perfect video The information was accurate and clear and I learned from it!. It was really a great job 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@onsyte-1249]

I've installed 2 transmissions 2nd one slipped in reverse. So I'm taking the reverse band out for the other transmission and with your video I'll be done with this Explorer. Thank you.. Sincerely

[@63256325N]

Enjoyed the video, again you make it look so easy. You have to give use an update as to how that trans. held up. Whether or not the customer took your advice and did something about the cooling issue. Thanks.

[@63256325N]

That's music to my ears man. Good jab as usual. Thanks for the reply. I want to add that it would have been a shame if the customer didn't put a cooler on it and have all your good work go down the drain.

[@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?

[@DorianSabala]

You are the best. Excellent video and explanations.

[@randallknott6801]

Thumbs up! Very nice even for those of us that cant do that stuff. lol. But at least I got the idea on them fords and them bands. I have a 97 Ranger 2.3 automatic does not want to shift into gear unless fully warm. I have to give a little gas to engage after going to 1rst from reverse. Not looking forward to the inevitable.

[@kriseltigre77]

19:20 you're a genuis awesome!!!! I subscribe to this Chanel for this minute

[@seangriest7949]

Very informative great job good video

[@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.

[@jimhoran5445]

I wish you could show a completely new rebuild of a 5r55s!

[@qualityrenov]

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

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

*@**42:25** Is that servo cocked in it's housing? It really doesn't "look" right- or **_is_** that correct?*

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

***** Thank you, Hiram.

[@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.

[@davidgill4935]

I love your video and helped me so much

[@fitsumberhanu7009]

thank you it was very helpful video .I've finished rebuilding my transmission , however after installing it on the car noticed didn't put the pump washer . Do you think I can leave I like that or do I've to pull the tranny again ? thank you for your help again

[@AutomaticTransmission]

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

[@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

[@NRP1991]

Great video as always man I can watch you for hours. I'm sure I've even double watched a few. Big thumbs up from me buddy!!!!!!👍🏻

[@MartyKilgore]

Great video! Unfortunately after my rebuild I have a couple of second delay going into drive, and a 2-3 shift flare. No delay going into reverse and all other shifts are good. Went back in and put in a Sonnax solenoid pack, still the same. Any pointers on what I should check next?

[@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]

Use the torque converter to line up pump.

[@gertis7420]

Fantastic video. Thanks for posting.

[@malmazan2124]

The trans on a 2003 Lincoln ls is an 5r55s dose it fit on my 06 mustang gt which is also a 5r55s? Both v8's

[@leahdawson1509]

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

[@direxdirt8935]

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.

[@seanandersen]

Do it once and do it right, better than ghostbustin' codes. I have a spare 5r55s and am going to give it a shot 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

[@ralphrichardson3207]

exelent video, very good detail. thank you.

[@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.

[@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!

[@alleonhard261]

Very nice. I wish I knew 1/2 of what you know.

[@sudanusnet]

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

[@iamchillfreak3443]

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

[@02DDP]

Will the internal parts from a 5r55s case from a 4.0 engine interchange with a 5r55s off a 4.6 v8 case? I want to take a 5r55s from a 02 ford explorer and swap the internals in a 4.6 case for a 05 mustang gt.

[@farrahdyer3268]

Can’t get the snap ring that holds the output shaft in on the output shaft. I have the shaft pressed against the wall and all parts pushed back as far as I can get them; what should I try ? Also tried different snap rings

[@samrugtiv3839]

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

[@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

[@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,

[@davidgill4935]

What are the torque specs on that transmission the vale body in the pump

[@andrecruz2675]

hiram the roller bearings that go between each drum some look non directional can they go either like the one underneath support n on top of center support

[@phillipkang1782]

what do the rebuild shops usually replace when they rebuild a transmission? the rebuild shop i take transmissions to seems to charge the same amount for every type of transmission sent, and i know each transmission has a different reason why it failed.

[@RioGrandeRocketCo]

Man! You are amazing! Thank you!

[@SydToldMe]

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

[@johntvrdy4473]

Hiram, I have a 2012 Dodge Cummins diesel with automatic. I have 28000 mi. How often should I change the transfluid and what kind do you recommend.

[@jasonbaker4052]

What would cause the trans not to change gears from reverse? Every gear d n all reverse.

[@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

[@mariodonaciano1351]

What chemicals do you use when you clean the transmission.

[@PedroGarcia-wz6zd]

Exelente bideo muy buena explicas ion gracias

[@mikehenrytomlinsonsenior4917]

I like your special tools

[@rouanybarrientos6029]

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

[@CristinaCais]

Hi Hiram, I would like to know how many kilos must to be tightened the screws on the oil pump. Thank you in advance

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

What kind of assembly lube are you using

[@TheBloodcleaner]

Great Video ... you are a great guy thanks heaps

[@ningishziddashar3480]

Great video. Do you have a video on a BMW e32 transmission?

[@paulbratcher4402]

Awesome Video, helped me out tremendously, can you tell the difference between to two assembly lubes?

[@RonComstock]

Is it normal for the torque converter to sit all the way down, with transmission sitting on back end like when your putting in guts, and rub on pump? Or will this not be an issue once its , the torque converter, mounted to flex plate?

[@LiilTyweezy]

Once you mount to flexiplate it will pull forward a little bit don't worry but make sure it's fully drafted don't worry about it touching the pump once you mate with flywheel it will pull it forward

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

Thank you Hiram your awesome and such a great teacher , thank you for helping me and so many others too !!!

[@oldschooldiesel2434]

I there a huge difference between the 5R55S and 5R55W transmissions? Can the same techniques be applied when re-assembling a 5R55W transmission? Thank you for all your hard work, wonderful advise, and Excellent Videos!

[@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?

[@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.
