The cost to rebuild a 5R55 transmission

[vernonfindlay]

Good evenings from 🇨🇦, got a 2002 explorer slipping on 2/ 3 shift. Work ford dealership . Code p732 and o775, , worked on the solenoids, cleaning, no real difference. I had a another's used one, installed but winter hit, waiting for spring. Watching videos like yours, thanks, much appreciation. Going also pull the survoes, after learning their problems. I got a quote of 2000 with tax for a rebuild. The explorer is in very great shape for being here in Nova Scotia. Thanks for the imformative video have a great week.

Thanks for the video, ...yes it definitely gave me the data I needed on whether to rebuild my 5r55s or take it to a small tranny shop. The tranny shop owner is a friend of a friend and he quoted $1600-2000. My thoughts are that a rebuilt torque converter is a must add to your $691 estimate. Again, thanks for putting the video together!

Great video, i would recommend doing this shift kit while its down tho.. first time i pulled mine only problem was a bad overdrive sprag, replaced it and the torque converter.. ran perfect exactly one year then wouldnt move one morning.. the flow control valve in the pump was stuck open.. if i would have bought the shift kit the first time, it would have came with the new updated flow control valve and I wouldnt have to pull it again.. but this time, i took the time to do the full rebuild..

I am back, bought everything related to the shift issue, I have looked at the modified servos. I just bought a regular ford one, and whole lot of goodies, my wife rolling her eyes. I get a good price on labour at work, half. When nate gets into it see what else may need replacement. I have it just about ready to drop, starter and 4 bolts on torque converter, even bought those nuts new, ford tough.Have good weekend, I will buzz later if it moves smoothly,

Thanks for the video! Had a lot of content the other videos don't have.

I’ve got a ford ranger here in Australia and it’s $5500 to get a rebuild. I own 3 cars and that is not an option right now. I have gone through two now after installing one from a wrecker for 3.8K . I’m heartbroken. So I have one out the car and I’m going to tackle it step by step. Cheers for vid I need a mountain of info

I have a 2003 Ford explorer and it's slipping in 3rd gear and it drive in 3rd. That looks like your intermediate servo. I personally believe you can Rheem those out without those guides. Reamers are basically self-aligning. If you can try it out inside you might even be able to do it without taking the transmission apart

Recommend Rock Auto AND the few $$$ for extra hard parts. Servo, harness, friction etc. lots of work

I really hope this works out for ya man! I give you major props for taking on this job.

Thanks for the info, it saved me a bunch of research time. How's it running? Do you have the 50K on it yet? What's the mileage at now. Thanks Again!

My then 1991 Ford Explorer auto transmission began leaking ATF badly while about 500 miles from home. Stopped off at an Aamco shop and was told it needed a rebuild. Spent $2, 600 for the rebuild. Interestingly, there was no engine braking in 1st gear before and after the rebuild? About 6, 000 miles later it began to drip ATF, the same situation as last time when about a few hundred miles after the dripping started it began losing ATF at about a pint per 50 miles. I should have just driven the Explorer to a wrecking yard and bought a new car! I sold the '91 Explorer to a mechanic for $500. Good for 4Wheeling if nothing else.

The purpose of a rebuild is to add updates. The reason a rebuild is better than a reman is because of the updates but money is everything if you can afford them you’ll have a better transmission then factory

I paid $2200 rebuilt and installed. Best money I ever spent.

If you decide to DIY, make sure you research and take pictures at every step. Do parts in groups. Take your time and be thourough. In this case the clutch locked up and torched the band when it tried to shift.

Whats the skill level required for this job? Are you a full time mechanic and have you rebuilt other transmissions prior to this? TIA

[JesseOsby]

Can you tell me if the 40" rise I've seen published for this lift means 40" from the floor, or is it that the lift platform goes up 40" from where it began, which would mean that adding that plus the height of the platform itself would mean it being like 44" or 45" from the floor?

You saved a ton of money doing it yourself! #WorldsOkayestFarmer

Amazon $1970 brand new 10 year warranty. If you pay for the warranty.

Do you have any links for everything you used?

Transmission shop scammed me for $1800 dollars. I took my car in for a torque converter issue and ended up paying for a rebuild that didn't fix anything. Now my car slips and flare in gears.
