- Basic overview of this 5R55S Valve Body and installation of the Transgo Shift Kit.
This unit was heavily contaminated with very fine metal contaminants from the torque converter.
Excellent info! My daughter's 2003 Mercury Mountaineer had already been rebuilt with the servo bore repair by a previous owner. I found this out after the flashing OD light and no shift from 1st to 2nd led me to replace the solenoid block, but that didn't help. There's a lot of vague info out here in forums. lol. Upon further investigation, I opened up the OD servo cover to find the rod broken from the piston....$25 and I had it going again! I'm not a technician, just a shadetree. Before that, a company that starts with "A" wanted to do a total rebuild for her because they didn't know Dad was involved, and that receipts for a previous rebuild were in the glovebox when I bought it.
Anyhow, things were working again for about a year. Now, no take off in "D" and "R"...even though it engages initially with the clunk, and will take off in 3, 2, and 1?
Checked the fluid, okay. Pulled the pan, no metal in pan. Tried to adjust OD band, it was exactly 2 turns out from contact. Next, I will remove the valvebody to look for "stuff" clogging up the valves.
I might add, there were no grinding noises or anything, but the fluid did look darker this time indicating maybe overheating?
If I'm not finding any metal, would installing a shift kit maybe be the next move in the process of elimination?
The only code I got with a scanner was P1700 internal undetermined failure.
I appreciate your videos man! I might have to tear it down to look for broken stuff. You definitely know your stuff man!
Did you ever figure out the problem my 05 is doing same thing.. it engages into D and R but just barley moves when giving it gas and then stops moving all together.
I love your 5r55 series... Im rebuilding my own right now your videos have been invaluable to me, thanks for your help i really mean that....gracias desde colombia.
Been watching your videos on the 5r55 tranny and i think that you are a genius. As a mechanic i try to keep away from or outsource these jobs but after watching your videos and the way you explain it i just might attempt this next one. Keep up the great videos.
We accidentally put in the servo bore update backwards, (this was before they had the pre cut drill holes, it was when you actually hat to drill a hole).... we didnt do a shift kit on it though, this is the first I see it, great vid hiram
Hola Hiram Merry Christmas, and thanks!!!!
hello, i´m impress of this video. The technic man is a complete professional; congratulations. Please continue with this tips, it helps a lot.
After having 3 units fail within 6 months using the T-go flow control valve that stuck. I no longer use their kit on these units. The Sonnax flow control valve is much better. But the Superior kit is the best one for these unit. With a flow control valve that just does not fail. At least not yet.
Thank You.Very good Video clip
Excellent video series! When I had the transmission professionally rebuilt at Mr Transmission here in Toronto Canada, a new problem started: there is a long lag when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. The transmission shop told me it is nothing they did - it must be something else in the electronics etc. It wasn't doing this before the rebuild. What controls the 3 to 2 shift? A valve in the valve body? The main servos have been upgraded to with the brass bushings. The transmission is not sending out any codes and all other shifting is normal. Reverse is starting to get weird again but still engaging. It was serious problems shifting into reverse that forced me to take the truck to get the transmission repaired...
Thanks for your video its good help for me .enjoy your weekend too
Awesome video my friend..👍
seems like the 6R80 in my f150 has a cooler stat that maintains 200 degree trans temp. the 4r70w in my older truck runs around 150 trans temp mostly
@ 10:46 you flip to page 6 of the Transgo instructions. There is a fill procedure for the transmission. It contradicts the Ford fill procedure.
Which fill procedure is correct?!?!?!
thanks for sharing...
Hola amigo arregle mi trasmisión 5r55s gracias a tu vídeo el problema que tengo es que la reversa tarda en entrar y cuando entra patea si me podrías ayudar te lo agradecería mucho no soy mecánico pero lo hice gracias a ti felicidades por tus videos ayudan mucho saludos
Sir. I have Ford Explorer 2005. In my car reverse gear not working. When I shift gear on reverse then listen sound from transmission like this ( ciiiiiiiiiiiii). But don’t move. Plz can you tell me maybe where is the problem?
Very nice!!
I have a 2003 Ford explorer XLT 4.6 with a p0733 code. Slipping and flaring in 3rd. Do you think it's the servos or the valve body? Thanks
Hi Hiram. I wanted to ask you which valve body repair kit do you recommend for the 5R55S transmission? The Transgo or the Superior kit? Thanks for all you do!!!
Good video..
looks fun
I appreciate, sir
thanks Hiram
am getting so many troubles with my car will explain to you briefly and if you can please advise me
well when the car is cool down it drive with all gears changing no problem but the reverse is very low, now when continue driving for a few km then I have no gears when i stop the car for some minutes all okay then again again no gears at all.
here in mauritius we can't find specialist like you, a garage told me to change the friction and steel plates then torque converter, I have listened to him and he change all but still the same, please Hiram can you advise me what causing this?
many thanks
Hiram, what are some of the symptoms / signs / noises I should be looking for when determining if a Torque Converter is failing? Will debris start showing up in the pan and filter?
Thank you for your time.
I'm workin on a 5r55w and I can't get the little plug out of the hole that has that r clip and I think I damaged the plug piece prying on it with a screw driver
Did the shift kit fix any issues with the trans? I have the 5R55S trans in 2003 Lincoln LS and it shifts very harsh from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd
Hi sir can you explain to me how to fix 5r55 body valve problem incorrect gear 3 and engin stall if shift to all gear. engine rpm is down
Greetings. I have a 5r55n where the 4-3 pre stroke valve spring broke. I'm having a hard time removing the valve. It seems a piece of spring it's jamming the valve or the spring it's getting caught inside the valve body. Any trick or technique so I can pull the valve out without damaging the valve body? I can't figure out how to grab the valve and pull it out or find a point where I can pry from and push it out.
Ok, got a question for ya.
I'm trying to put trans fluid in my 2002 5r55s transmission.
I was told that it takes 4 quarts Mercon V.
I couldn't get the petcock open (stupid thing rounded even though I sprayed it with wd.)
On the 2002 it has a fill hole on the back, so I opened that and pumped in the 4 quarts.
How do I check the fluid level to see if it's filled correctly now since I can't open the fill petcock on the pan?
Is this TRANSGO lock up valve better that the SUPERIOR lock up valve?
hi hiram I have lost one of the two seal between the valve body and the gearbox case, the one that you said no reverse if you loose this seal,, well I lost it can you please advise where to find one or how you call it
many thanks Hiram, for your video its too good
Hiram ..what are the assembly lubes needed to be used in such process ..I got at least one of them already ..
hola,hiram tengo una ford everest 3.0L diesel con la transmision 5r55s,este kit que usas lo puedo usar?
Hiram Gutierrez need your help. Throwing code p0743 with the 5r55s with sometimes flashing o/d light and car went into limp mode. I've changed the filter, solenoid pack and transmission wiring harness. Reset the codes and they still came back, any thoughts?
Hiram, Thanks for your videos they are very good. I just did this mod on a 2002 Explorer.
Problem is now that when I come to a stop sign it does not shift down to 1st and flairs until you get the revs up when your ready to go again. Also has a bit of flair going into 3rd. The kit calls for 2 1/4 inch balls installed which is what I did. the original Valve body had one 1/4 and one about 3/16 installed. Question is should I have left the small one in instead of replacing it? Also do you have any other ideas? Thanks, Steve
Hola Hiram repare una transmision 5r55s cuando la pongo en drive se siente que hace un canbio a 25 mph pero para el proximo cambio es como si la transmision regresara a low y si le doy gasolina se queda en blanco.por favor tienes idea que puede ser?
Hey i’m about to cop a 2005 gt automatic with 100k. I’ve heard the 55r5 trans has some problems going bad between 100-150k for a lot of people. However some peoples have gone up to almost 300k. Obviously a lot of this is determined by fluid changes and how hard the car was driven..but the owner i’m buying it from said he’s never done a trans fluid or filter change. If i changed it first thing after buying you think I’d be alright? Or is a 100k trans that’s never been serviced a ticking time bomb?
Hello Hiram I really appreciate how you are so I'm formative in your videos. I have a question regarding my 05 Explorer XLT 112K miles. I have no Codes from My Actron scanner. The Tranny is Slipping slightly between 2nd and third gear. I feel a thud when I go from D to R and when I'm slowing down I feel a thud as if I we hit from behind. This is after the truck reaches op temp. I think I feel a vibration when I'm at 70+mph. Could you help me please. Thank you in advance.
Hi. is ok if I put the thermostatic valve as you left it? in my lincoln ls 2004
Hello Hiram .. I'm looking for the 2009 Ford Explorer upgrade valve body
Do you have one for sale ..
my wife's truck slips in revers and from what I've researched the valve body and solenoid pack is where I should start before I tear into it ... maybe even the reverse servo ... no one in dallas texas has these available at retail stores
Can you help
saludos hiran tengo un problema con una 5r55w explore 2006 golpea en los cambios no tiene codigos de averia y se le cambio la transmission por una recostruida y todavia sigue golpeando saludos si me puedes ayurdar en eso te habla ehiler gutierrez de venezuela
Is there any differences in a 98e350 and 2001 f150. 4f100 tranny. 2wheel drive
Hiram where I can buy the brushes to service valve bodies, I am in Mexico City
I ended up buying another pan plug. The plug isn't available through auto parts store, so I had to go dealer.
Can I use "Assebly Goo" instead of "Transjel Gold SPX"?
hey what is the size hose would fit over the cooler line?
Hey Hiram great videos man. I need your help with a 5r55s that has a p0741 torque converter stuck off. It has a new solenoid pack, new converter, new converter seals on gear and sealing ring. Checked valve body tcc valve for binding and ok. Also checked circuits from pcm, and pcm ground coming out good. Problem returns right off the back with a wrench light. Any advise i would really appreciate it?
Hello.. sorry to hear all that!
Have you found the solution?
Is there any issue with using blue assembly goo instead of the transgel gold?
There both the same, just different color. The green is thicker, I use it to paste my washers and bearings for ease of assembly. The blue for all rubber. I stay away from the red because it mimics a transmission fluid leak which is also red.
do you glue the gaskets back on?? i see most recommended replacement of the plate with a new gasket bonded to it
Jd Douglass did you ever find the answer to your question? Do you glue the gaskets on yes or no?
forgot its a AW55-50 Sn gearbox
Would you know what reason Ford. or who ever makes that trans., would use the thermostatic valve? I mean what's the point of it?
I see, thank you for the reply.
please guys help me with my Ford 2002 explorer It's a gas blow back airsoft handgunhaving problem in reverse some time goog some time no reverse and some banging sound when changing from N to D.please please
Could be a solenoid regulator valve in the valve body that's stuck.
