No Drive Or Reverse.. Transmission Fixed For $25? Transmission 5R55S 5R55N 5R55E 5R55W 4R44E 4R55E

[@paulphillips1075]

Man I was less than 24 hours from either scrapping my car or saving for a trans. I’ve never done trans work but I am a mechanic in the airforce and am a quick learner. This just saved me thousands that I don’t have. Thank you so much for this video. I’ll leave a comment on the results

What’s up my guy! Absolutely fantastic video. I got every piece of information and visual anyone could need to do this themselves. Thank you! 👍🏻

[@williamblanks8500]

Just to update everyone, The transmission is back together and the car is driving again, but I think I will make a video on the transmission relearn procedure because it is necessary after performing this repair.. I really hope this helps someone, this literally saved me thousands of dollars.. Remember any job is a balance of Quality, Speed, and Price.. If you need it done right and done fast take it to a shop, but it will cost more.. If you want it done right and you want it done cheap, do it yourself. It may take longer, but it will definitely be cheaper.. Just don't get in a rush, Take your time and make sure it's right so you only have to do it once.. There are a lot of 5R55 teardown videos out there, take advantage of them, it could be worth thousands..

Hey man I’m planing on doing this to my transmission because I have the same issue, is the video about the relearn procedure up? Or any suggestion of where I could find it?

[@williamblanks8500]

@@Tonyrl103 I haven’t posted it, but what you need to do is from a complete stop, accelerate thru all of the gears without going over 50mph.. then slowly come to a complete stop and repeat.. The first time it will shift a little rough then it will get better each time.. You need to do this at least 5 - 10 times.. then just drive the car normally for the first 500 miles and the computer will relearn the proper shift pattern for the way you drive the car..

@@williamblanks8500 Nope!!! Shop just called back with up to $2400 rebuild, they said with the mileage on the car other things should be replaced converter & everything internal would be best to just get it done with a two year warranty

[@williamblanks8500]

@@who9565 I do recommend replacing the convertor, its about $150 for a remanufactured one.. It depends on the fluid. If the fluid is off colored (grayish or brown), that means the convertor is probably eating itself up.. If the fluid is pretty and red and there isn't much metal in the fluid you can probably get by without replacing it. The problem is if you don't replace it now then you will need to pull the trans again to replace it later if it is bad and there isn't a way to open it up and check it. If the car was shifting fine through all of the gears but just stopped one day and its acting like the car in the video, then I'm pretty sure just the Sprag is the problem. The reason a shop won't just replace the sprag is because once they open the transmission up they want to replace everything because they are already there. I replaced the converter ($150).. The fluid and filter ($100 fluid, $30 filter). The OD Sprag ($25), The 2 OD friction clutches ($20), a reseal kit for the front pump ($20), and a home made fluid pump ($40) I paid a friend $200 to help me pull the transmission out and put it back. about $600 total.. The only part that was actually broken was the Sprag, but the fluid had a lot of metal in it to.. If you have all of the parts ready before you start, and you are mechanically inclined then this can be fixed in a weekend.. If the car was having problems shifting through the gears or having other problems before this happened then I recommend a complete rebuild.. If there is no metal in the fluid, then you can drain and save most of it, you can probably get by with just the sprag, filter, and reseal kit, and enough fluid to top it off around $100 especially if you do all the labor yourself or if you have some "free" help lol..

I just bought a 2008 coupe, last friday. Tuesday evening, I heard a loud popping noise, then it wouldn't go into reverse or drive. I can feel it go into the gears, but it wont move, or barely moves. Car drives good using 1, 2, 3. Today, I got the sprag delivered. I haven't dropped the transmission yet. I am praying the only problem is the sprag. If it is, this video will save me.

[@williamblanks8500]

it has been a couple years and i have built quite a few transmissions since then, but this is the one that got me started.. My advice is as follows.. Almost every transmission fails due to a pressure rise issue.. Pressure test the transmission before you pull it, make sure the pressure can rise properly when commanded by the PCM.. If it can, then u might be ok just swapping the sprag.. That being said.. disassemble the entire transmission.. check the clutch packs, they work exactly like brakes and rotors.. they should all stack level to the snap ring groove of the clutch pack.. if any clutchpack is burned up, go ahead and replace all of them.. check the bands, check the pump, check the bearings.. replace anything that needs it.. if everything looks good then only replace the sprag.. while u have it apart install a transgo 5r55s shift kit to help it last forever.. u will be stasfied that you did in the long run..

so william in hiram Gutierez video "5r55s valve body- 5R55S TRANSMISSION video thats 18.07 long go to minute 11 and he says the soleiniod regulator in the valve body if stuck open can cause the effect of small amount of reverse but breaks free and spins if you accelerate which is exactly what mine is doing so mine may only need that repaired..will know soon.

[@williamblanks8500]

Yes I have watched a few of his videos.. i just checked out the video that you were talking about. So what he is saying is correct if the valves get stuck then it could cause the weak reverse issue. It should be simple to tell the difference between the two without pulling the transmission out. If the sprag is the problem then the transmission probably won’t throw any codes because the valve body should be working properly. If a valve is stuck then he is saying it should be throwing a transmission code. I’m my case the car wasn’t throwing any transmission codes. Another thing to consider is if a valve got stuck then what caused it. Usually if a valve gets stuck it’s because there is debris in the transmission fluid from a part that is failing. It could be clutch friction material, it could be a damaged hard part in the tranny, or it could be metal shavings from a failed torque converter.. So if the valve is stuck u may be able to remove only the valve body and free the sticking valves but before you put it back u probably should check everything to make sure nothing else is damaged.. If the fluid is really clean and the transmission isn’t throwing any codes at all then the sprag is probably the culprit..

Do you have a video on how to put it back together

[@geraldknady8095]

SO For the people asking how do you get the transmission bolt at 2 o'clock out? at least on the explorer it was pretty simple ,I strung together every extension for my 3/8 " socket even using a 3/8breakover wrench that has a female 3/8 attachment and turning its 90 degree to north so as to use it as an additional extension and all together it was over 2 feet long with a metric 13 or 14 i forget i got back behind the transmission and went straight at the bolt by going over the top. no knuckle needed but listen that bolt is what anchors the 2 fuel lines that come from the tanks or pump and they need to pop out of that l shaped bracket and ideally you want that bracket out, away from the trans. I didn't remove it and 90% of the struggle i had getting the trans out was the bracket digging into the foil insulation. it was tricky because the fuel tank has been designed to use all available room and i ended up having to jack the back of the motor up so as to point the transmission down then it popped out easily. I could just pick it off the floor and onto a bench. right at 300 pounds drained. I also took the time to chisel out of a 12 inch square 2x12 a matching 2.5 inch deep round concave indention so that my pan didn't get harmed in the removal. pulled the pump and super clean so far should know if its the sprag by tomorrow. I will let you know!!!

[@SquigglySiggly]

So I’m having the same problems. I have a 2009 mustang gtcs with a 5R55S transmission and I put it into drive leaving work today and it just revved up like I was in neutral and would barely grab the gears. Reverse pretty much did the same thing until I got home and tried reverse again, then it stated to grab again. Drive still didn’t work at all. I had to drive back home (about 25 mins on back roads) in the 1,2 and 3 slap shift mode and they were working fine other than shifting into gears harder than normal. I just wanna make sure that the sprag is the only thing I have to replace bc I don’t wanna drop 2700 bucks. Thank you!

[@williamblanks8500]

I have a detailed list of all parts in the description, but it boils down to if u don't see any grit in the fluid then sprag only, and the reseal kit for the pump.. If you see grit in the fluid it's probably from the torque converter, so replace the torque converter, the fluid, the filter, and clean everything to remove the grit.. If your trans was working perfectly before and not slipping then it didn't damage the clutch frictions.. The last thing you will need is a fluid pump to top off the fluid when you put it back together.. There are a lot of 5R55S teardown videos on KZbin that go thru all of the details so I didn't remake those.. I just broke it down to if you have this problem then this is the specific part that is causing it... To me it definitely sounds like the sprag is your problem and if you are mechanically inclined enough to pull the trans and put it back yourself, then this is only a few extra steps.. and the sprag itself is less than $30

@@moneymakin_ro9486 mine has about 165,000.. the fluid had a lot of metal in it from the torque converter going bad, I'm pretty sure that's what caused the sprag to go bad in my case.. The car was shifting perfect for me except 3 different times getting onto the interstate trying to accelerate fast, the car acted like it went into neutral on its own.. the 3rd time this happened it made it home, then it acted like in the video here it wouldn't move anymore.. So when I learned about the sprag and I took it apart and actually looked at it. The frictions and the band all looked fine they had normal wear and could last maybe another 100,000 miles.. the sprag was the only thing broken.. I am the guinea pig here tho because I had the exact same question.. I replaced the sprag, the torque converter, the fluid, and filter.. After doing the relearn procedure, which is, coming to a complete stop then accelerating to 5th gear but not over 50 mph.. then repeating 5-10 times until the shifts level off.. My wife has been driving the car everyday for about 3 weeks now.. at least 100 miles per day and it's driving like a new car again and a lot easier to accelerate than it ever has been since we bought the car.. Idk how long it's going to last yet but if something happens I will make an update in the comments or description of this video and probably make a new video.. but so far so good.. I'm the type of person who would rather pay a few hundred and learn how to rebuild it than pay $2000 and not really learn anything from it.. And we have no way of really knowing if they are only replacing the sprag too if u take it to the shop.. The major question is do u have more money or do u have more time.. if you have more money than time buy it rebuilt.. if you have more time than you have money replace only what's broken so u can ride again cheap as possible..

I will definitely do it, but basically you want to start a 0 mph accelerate thru all 5 gears without going over 50mph, then quick return to a complete stop for 3-5 seconds.. You repeat this process about 5-10 times until the shifts smooth out, then you drive it normally for the first 500 miles to finish the relearn process.. If you don't do the relearn the car won't shift correctly and you will think something is wrong with it.. The first few times you do it, the shifts will be off but it will level out more and more each time..

Sorry I didn’t make a video about the removal or installation process.. usually rear wheels drives are all about the same.. drop the drive shaft, remove battery cables, then starter, then torque converter bolts.. some cars you may need to drop the exhaust some you won’t.. removal all transmission lines, plug ins, shift cables, etc.. support the transmission from the bottom with a floor jack with a block of wood on top about the size of the transmission pan.. remove bell housing bolts and remaining transmission mounts..

[@williamblanks8500]

Sounds like u are missing 3rd gear.. 3rd gear is the same as 1st except the intermediate band also applies.. so the question is why isn’t it applying??? It could be a broken band, or the servo bore hole that the intermediate band piston rides in could be worn and not allowing the piston to hold enough pressure to apply the band.. U would need to pull the valve body and use air to apply the intermediate band so see if it is applying with air pressure.. if it will apply with air it should apply with fluid.. if it won’t apply with air the bore is likely worn out.. if it will apply with air, then it should apply with fluid.. the fluid is controlled by the valve body, the valve body is controlled by the solenoid pack, the solenoids are controlled by the PCM.. You can also try to re-adjust the intermediate band to see if it makes any difference..

[@williamblanks8500]

go to the 1:04 part of the video. If you put it in drive or reverse and race the motor and the car does the same as my car did in the video then the problem is the overdrive sprag, If you watch the whole video and/or read the description I go through the process of diagnosis and repair and the cost. The problem when the overdrive sprag goes bad is the gearset spins internally instead of making the tires spin. So its technically in gear but its sending power to the wrong place. If you can pull the tranny and put it back then you can fix it yourself. There are a lot of 5R55 teardown videos out there you may need to check out a few of them, this video is to show you the exact part that has failed, and why the cart acts that way when it fails.

[@williamblanks8500]

If its not moving in any gear, then have someone to check under the car to see if the driveshaft is spinning or not while the car is in gear.. if its spinning but the car isn't moving, then the diff is bad.. If its not spinning in any gear, then there is a problem with the fluid circulation in the transmission or if you were manual shifting its possible the shifter cable broke and isn't moving the car into drive.. the torque converter could be stripped. or the clutches could be so worn that the clutch material has stopped up the filter and the fluid cant circulate.. Or the transmission pump could have burned up, Its also possible that you've leaked all of the fluid down somehow.. I would start at the shift cable make sure its working properly, check the fluid level and make sure its right, then drop the pan on the transmission and change the filter..

What’s wrong?

[@geraldknady8095]

im confused you show that the car wont reverse or forward but you only replace the over drive sprag. Why not replace the reverse sprag? did replacing the O.D. sprag allow the car to reverse? they list them as 2 different sprag and i read your list of all you actually replaced etc. But no mention of reverse sprag?????

[@williamblanks8500]

Great question, if you check the service manual on the 5r55s on page 4 there is a component application chart.. If you look at this chart you will see that even though there is a low/reverse sprag, while in reverse it isn’t holding it’s suppose to spin freely… The only components applied in reverse are the direct clutch, the L/R band and the O/D sprag.. The low/reverse sprag only holds in 1st and 2nd gear.. so if reverse was working but the car wouldn’t going in 1st or 2nd then the problem would be the low/reverse sprag..

Here is a link to the manual.. If you look at the chart you should help you understand what each component should be doing while the transmission is in each gear..
