5R55W/S Overdrive Section

In this video, I go over the two different overdrive sections for this transmission, they cannot be interchanged, if they are the transmission will not shift correctly on the 2-3 shift. The ratios are so close that it will not set a code either. Off to the shop, super busy and short handed. Hope you enjoy, put this together last minute.

Thank you Gary, as a retired mechanic I love the shop talk.

Excellent tip and explanation as to why we should be aware. Such valuable information! Thanks so much for taking the time to share all of this.

Rebuilt ford transmissions for years. Was replacing the cases for the servo pin bore before the reamer kit and sleeves cane out (I know that dates me).
The OD section would also shred itself up intermittently due to the oil passage in the coast clutch hub plugging up and not feeding.
Of course the flow control valve was always a problem and I swear Ford used recycled tinfoil for bushings.
Once they were fixed up they weren’t a bad box.

I'm repairing a 5R55S out of my 05 mustang coupe, it had lost OD and reverse for to a broken sprag, replaced the OD planet, etc. First time working on a tranny, was kind of intimidating at first but once I got the pump pulled out really wasn't all that bad lol love working on my own cars when I can, . Thanks for the videos

Great tip on ordering the washer! If you get an A750E/F in the shop I'd love to see that! Also any tips on preventative or corrective measures to make the A750F last would be great!

Friend was excellent your video. I am about to fix the transmission of Explorer 2002 myself, I would like to know if you dare to record a complete video well explicit of the assembly of a transition with its new components? I would like you to advise me on which kit to buy. Thank you.

good night, excellent your videos. I have a question about the difference between the 5r55e, 5r55S, and 5r55w, please

[edwardmyers]

Rebuildng my S bought an ATSG and thankfully it used a whole page to explain the od section differences

Would you please tell me which overdrive planetary fits my 2006 explorer, the V6 4.0 L?

[josephjones]

Gary off subject what would cause direct drum failure after rebuild on 4l80 and nothing else bad, seals, pistons every in great shape. Idk at a loss thanks in advance

[joelmaharaj]

What will cause a low speedometer reading in the 5r55. And incorrect 5th gear ratio

Garry, I’ve just rebuilt a 5r55w explorer 4.0 2007, but no shift from 2nd to 3rd. Checked servo, and band, changed solenoids pack but still same problem. Just realized (after seen this video) that the sim gear that AC sent to me is a 24 tooth. Can this be the cause of no shifting from 2nd to 3rd? Thanks for your help.
