AW55-50SN Rebuild

- 2003 Saturn Vue. This tranny is also known as an AF33-5 and also RE5F22A. Around the 48 minute mark is a kinda hiccup, I missed the ring gear and had to go back and that is the best I could get it to come out with the limited time I have to devote to this.

just wanna say thank you I have been fighting the park mechanism and couldn't get it but the above point of view is amazing and it hit me"oh yeah" that's how it went again thanks
Glad I could help, thanks for watching. Within the next couple of hours there will be a video with a closer view. Have moved the camera trying to get better view, people were complaining camera was too far away.
Top! Very informative. Professionnal at work.
Much appreciated!
I have a Volvo with this unit in it. Recently I purchased a Sonnax reman valve body for it and would also like to replace the wiring harness. Where would you go to find such an animal?
WIT, Transtar or dealer. My advice would be to get a factory one, don't do aftermarket ones.
Добрый день, подскажите пожалуйста, как вытащить поршни из муфты?
How confident are you that the solenoids on a rebuilt valve body are adjusted properly?
And how about a new valve body?
50-50 on the rebuilt. New is the way to go. 100% on the new one.
Off hand do you know the pressure tap thread size? I want to make sure I have the right adapter for the gauge line. Thanks
No, sorry I don't. If I had a case here I would check it, but I have not had one come in in a long time.
Took out the SLT test port plug. The hex head is 12mm and the bolt thread appears to be M8x 1.0. Definately 1.0 thread pitch but the thread seems to be rounded over a bit as if the hole wasnt fully tapped for 100% thread. Bolt is not tapered like a pipe thread but the hole may be. The bolt uses an o -ring seal. Adapter is on order. I anticipate needing to remove a bit from the adapter's major thread diameter. Not a lot of room to work on a Volvo. That sucks. My pan cover has holes so I can adjust solenoids.
Good job made please can you tell me how many letters that we need after We Install this gear Box
Thanks, somewhere around 7.3L.
I've seen other videos on transmission work where they soak the clutches in fluid before they install them. Do you see a benefit of such a practice?
I get asked this alot. Never seen a difference. I don't and have never had a problem. Been doing it for 37 years now.
Thank you sir. I just sent my transmission in to get rebuilt and wanted to see what the procedure looked like. Do I need to flush and fill the transmission after a rebuild?
Unless you are pulling it out and replacing it yourself they should do all that for you? If so then yes the lines need to be flushed out and you will need to fill it with fluid.
Can I use normal RTV silicone on trasmission carter?
You are going to want to use an Ultra Black or Grey. Regular is not going to cut it. Will deteriorate quickly.
I have a Volvo XC90 and the transmission is in fail safe and starting off in 3rd gear. I can reset it and it will start in 1st but suddenly goes back to fail safe. When I reset it the P and the other gear ranges show on the indicator on the dash but as soon as it goes to fail safe they go away. Also when I reset it the reverse lights come on but as soon as it goes to fail safe they go away also. The transmission pulls and works but keeps going to fail safe. Any suggestions? I have been told that it is the valve body having issues.
It's possible as that is the biggest problem with this transmission, but there are plenty of other things that will put it in failsafe as well. If it is going to failsafe before it has had time to shift it may be a speed sensor problem. I need to know what codes are being stored in the computer.
I’m planning to buy a Volvo with the same transmission that needs to be rebuilt. Do you think I could manage to do it on my own? Should a professional do it instead?
Brilliant job 👌🏽
Thanks. Depends on how mechanically inclined you are and if you have a way to compress the return springs in the drums. It is a little more difficult than some but I think doable with this video. Make sure when you buy the new valve body if you have a no code or an A code they will more than likely sell you a C code, sometimes a B. Either way if you have A or earlier you will need a new wiring harness as well as they are different in length.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission i’ve just seen your reply. I’ll try to do it then. Thanks mate!
Where do you get the transmission parts
Most are from WIT or Transtar. Links are in the description.
Will the valvebody interchange from 2 wheel to all wheel drive?
As far as I know. The only differences is the letter codes and the wiring harness for that code, and the spring or no spring that goes behind the valve I show you to check. But I will do some searching and double check that it will.
Is this the same transmission that's in a 03-11 Saab 9-3? If so, would the gm valve body be the same?
There are 4 different transmissions that could be in there. If it is a AW55 you should be able to look down past the air breather and there will be a metal tag that will say it on there. If it is the AW55 then yes it is the same. Always check the solenoid and spring I talk about.
The tag reads: AW 55-51SN.
It's the same.
Thank you for the videos and information.
Thanks for watching.
Can't you do the rebuild of the tf80sc? And not possible to make closer footage? The camera is too far.
Just uploaded the AWTF80SC video a couple of days ago. I can only do video's as the units come in, don't have them just laying around. As I get ones in I have not done a video on I do one. Also changed the camera around and it worked some what, camera was a little bouncy. Hard to get the camera close but not in the way. This is a working high production shop and I don't have the luxury of taking lots of time to try and get everything perfect. Working on it though.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission What grease do you need ( yellow and black)?
@@damjanpirnar6332 It's all preference. I use gold and green. They make gold, red, blue and green. Gold being thinnest and green thickest.
What brand name? Or where do I source them?
What's the average cost to rebuild those aw55?
I don't deal with the pricing end of it so I am not up to date on the latest costs of all the parts. To do it right with a new valve body, probably 3000-4500 I would say. New valve body alone you are probably looking at 12-1500 just for it. Worn out valve bodies are the biggest problem with this unit, as are most transmission now days.
this is a reliabe transmission? what care is taken to avoid problems?
Transmission is, valve body is where the problem is. Very prone to wear. If you stop driving it when the problems first start appearing and replace the valve body that is all that needs to be done. The longer it is driven the more damage that is created. Don't think there is anything you can do to prevent the valve body problems, but normal maintenance, changing the fluid about every 30,000 can't hurt.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission Wow! thanks for you answer! the converter torque and composit discs, has an average life span?
@@Aniikilenterful 150,000 or more. Seen plenty with more than that and they look ok, but I replace them anyways.
@@CurmudgeonTransmission wow! 150,000 miles or km?
