Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I have a 5r55e with 150k on it. Noticed the other morning it was slipping from first to second when cold but works perfectly after driving for a min. Not sure if its anything I should be worried about. Fluid looks good and appears to be at the correct level

Thank you! I am a motorcycle mechanic and decided to help a customer out with his 01 Ranger with a 5R55E Transmission an thought I would take a shot at it since I have rebiult a couple car/truck Trannys in the pastjust wanted some more info and your video was absolutly amazing. I will give this a shot after I put the new valve body gaskets and Fluid in.

Hey Anthony, thank you on behalf of all the replies you have made. I know replying takes away from your valuable time, but I have a question.

I have an 06 4.0L 4x4 XLT which I believe is a 5R55E tranny. I recently had went onto the highway and it seemed as if I started at 2nd gear. Soon after I got off the highway O/D started flashing. It may seem as if I am slipping gears. When I turned off my truck everything went back to normal. What do you recommend? Should I follow the tutorial on the band adjustment?

Thank you !

I have a 2005 f150, do you think it's the same to adjust the Transmission band? Makes a jump when it changes to a second gear…I hope you can help me! Thanks!!

This is an awesome video. My 5r55e in my 99 ranger punches hard in and out of second gear when driving it for about 15ish minutes. Every other gear is fine, when it starts punching in and out, the "overdrive off" light flashes and keeps flashing until i turn off the truck.

5R55S 2006 AWD explorer. can this help if forward gears are fine but reverse is slipping? works when not giving to much gas but slips if I give to much.

Great channel. Lots of knowledge. Thanks for the info. Gonna check the ranger tomorrow to see if this is why it doesn't want to go/ stay in 3rd gear

Thanks for the awesome video, Anthony! Nice to see you are still all over the internet helping Ranger folks repair and mod their rides! - mhoward (on various Ranger forums)

I lost reverse for the most part on my 4r44e. I can still feel it clunking into reverse when I move the column shifter into reverse. If I'm on flat ground, the vehicle will still roll backwards and will gradually pick up speed in reverse.

I gain no acceleration by pushing on the gas pedal though.

Do you have any idea as to why the vehicle would still roll backwards in reverse and kind of picks up speed on it's own.

My fluid levels are good and all forward gears still work fine.

Also, I lost reverse when backing up on a hill. The wheels spun a couple times and it just stopped working.

It's on a 1999 Ford Ranger with 4x4.

Thanks.

Hi sir, pls let me know the tools size for band adjustment nut and studs.. thanks ( hope it's same for 5R55S & W, used in Ford everest 2010)

[yeahrightmate]

Hi, can you explain how the 5r55e has 5 gears because they only have 3 gears positions and with an overdrive makes 4 speed, but these are supposed to be a 5 speed. Thanks.

my 06 ranger started havin a issue when cold out.. I usually park it in winter so this is first winter in years i drove it.
Temp is 33F start truck let warm up a couple mins, put in OD and start driving.. notice trucks goes to 29-3100 rpm then shifts.. can feel it shift hard.. Drive for a very short period and goes back to shifting normal.. IS THIS NORMAL? didhjnt do it all summer til cold now.
I started it yesturday and put in Drive, NOT od.. drove away and she shifted fine

I am having trouble finding a set of sockets to do this adjustment, is there a specific one you recommend for the double square sockets, I would love a link to a set because I can’t find any at the auto parts store or harbor freight, thank you

[shawnstrong]

Looking at a 2000 Ranger that all forward gears seem fine, but reverse is slipping. Any insight?

[MrPotato-didr]

Does this work for the 5r44e? Will it fix my problem I have my o/d flashing and when it does it shifts into 2nd hard and doesn’t like to stay in o/d on the highway, would this fix the problem for mine since it’s 2nd gear and 5th or would it be internal or tcm related, I haven’t checked codes yet and it has an engine light but the o2 sensors arnt hooked up so idk if that’s affecting it either

[FilthyHeathenKustoms]

Cool video, but I have a question. When installing a new servo cause the rod broke through the Aluminum. When installing a new OD servo do I need to back off the ban adjuster and re adjust when the new servo is in? Or just put the servo in and send it

[sahasranshupurohit]

@TheVintageEngineer - Can I do this adjustment with the transmission mounted to the vehicle ? OR this adjustment can only be done by removing transmission
