Hi Hiram, All i want to say is thank you very much. Thanks to your videos on this transmission, i was able to fix my ford explorer. Mya transmission was giving me a code for solenoid b, i replaced solenoid pack, no change. So i followed your video and replaced the overdrive components. The band was bare metal and scored the drum and planetary gear was all messed up. now is running great. You saved me at least $1800, Thanks again.

Hiram, you are a genius.  I've watched a number of your video (including the whole 700r4 teardown and reassembly as well as the valve body upgrades with the transgo kit).  Unbelievable knowledge.  keep it up!

Thank you for this very informative walk-through. I now believe I can fix my 5R55S transmission myself instead of sending it back to the "Machanic" who just recently told me I would need a new transmission. Keep up the great work!!!

This guy Hiriem has a video of a GMC 4L80E Rebuild and I Set up a long table and put my computer in the garage and followed him set by set using a rebuild kit and the transmission is my truck and works perfectly. and has being going for the last 6 yrs now about 70, 000 miles without any problems. This guy is awesome !!! Now I Own a 2008 Mountaineer Premier and I am watching him again.

Finally a video I can relate to and understand. I just needed assurance with the pump install and I was so involved with the way he was rebuilding it, I watched the rest of the video and then watched it 2 more times. Much appreciated. Hope I get my Exploder rolling once again ! Thanks for the help and useful videos !

This is oh so familiar to me. I used to have a 2002 Explorer. Of course the 5r55w that it had quit working. My brother-in-law is a diesel mechanic and helped a lot with the wrenching. Between the two of us we got it fixed. Hiram mentioned the case wearing in the tear down. That was the problem with mine. It causes the servos to quit pushing on the band with any real force. The case can be repaired with a special tool, which includes sleeving the servo bore with a brass bushing. Much better than original.
