Thanks for your response !!! I checked out there products and I think I will go with them. Thanks !!!! I'm sure my reverse band is busted it shutters in reverse only!! No sense in tearing it down just for the reverse band.. I put a transgo shift in and notice way too much play when I push the band up

Subbed just because watching someone tear down a transmission I'm afraid to even check the fluid level on, and him doing it nonchalantly, is worthy of a subscription on my part at the very least.

Dude your awesome you take your time and explain so much. Your very clear and your videos make sense thank you for the quality videos

Thanks for your videos, they are very informative.

you're awesome, I wish I have all that knowledge about automatic transmission, I'm planning to fix one of those transmision for my friend

Hello, thanks for your video. I have a mustang 4.0 V6 2010 that doesn' t have power in drive or reverse, slips... but with manual 1,2,3 gears shift ok, working good. Same p0755

Great video!

Thank you Gary! very helpful. I have a 2001 lincoln LS with the same symptoms.

Gary you produce the most informative video. Very clear and understandable for the everyday guy. I just wish I had a table that I could just push all that excess fluid into a drain. Thanks for the great lesson.

Thank you Gary

Thanks for video

Excellent

Thanks for a thorough video. With my 02 Explorer with 212K miles I get an occasional "O/D off" light and when this happens, it typically won't go into 5th (but still shifts into 2nd). When I restart the car the light stays off and it shifts fine.Sometimes throws the P0775. Still deciding whether I want to try and take this one on myself.

I have a 2006 Mustang GT. I am the original owner and the car is in great condition. It has 95,000 miles and is only driven in nice weather.. I have been having intermittent transmission issues the last 3 years. I never have any codes or a flashing OD light. When I’m doing 30 mph I can hit the gas and the transmission flares up as if it is in neutral. Sometimes when this happen it causes the transmission to only work when put in 3rd gear and when coming to a stop as it downshifts there’s some clunking through the drivetrain. I changed the filter and fluid and all looked good in terms of fluid condition and nothing in the pan. Sometimes it starts working perfect with no issues. I never have problems on the highway. This seems to be an electrical issue to me due to the intermittent nature and no codes at all ever. This car had the transmission separator plate replaced twice under warranty by Ford as it had a rattle on cold starts. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it possible that it’s the solenoid pack without any codes? I’d appreciate any feedback you can give. Thanks!

many thanks

Awesome video Gary! Can you please make a video on a complete rebuild as you put it together. got a spare tranny just like this one and want to get it built as a project so that when wife's aviator dies this one is ready to go in.

ok I'll check trans oil & go from there thanks.

Great videos, thank you. I'm rebuilding a 5r55w out of an 02 AWD Explorer. After looking over and inspecting the parts, I noticed on the back end of the pump ( where it goes into the coast clutch? ) there looks to be what is left of a bushing/bearing. I can't seem to find a replacement for this or is it part of the pump. I have noticed what I think is 2 different styles of pumps also. Some with exposed bearings and others that are like mine. Any suggestions? The same end of the pump looks like it got hot, and the frictions and steels were shot in the coast clutch drum. Thanks

Yes

hi Gary,i am no tranny gut that's for sure,i wish i was but my wife's 02 explorer has the 5r55w it's 4wd my daughter drove it to work and said it went fine all the way there and she left the key on and killed the battery and it was like 20 below zero so i went and picked her up and went back the next morning and finally got it charged and started i let it warm up for 15 minutes and put it in reverse and it was real numb so i let it warm up a lil more and when i went to go forward it was equally as numb so i pulled it down in to 1st and after a second it caught and took off with no hesitation i shifted up through from 1st to 2nd to 3rd it shifted fine with no slip but as soon as i shifted in to 4th or overdrive? it was like neutral so i guess my question is how and what could have gone wrong sitting still in the super cold that would make me basically lose o-d and reverse?i did notice it whining a bit so i tried to get lucky and changed the filter which was pretty plugged and it did stop the whining and put exactly 6 quarts of new fluid back in.i tried taking out and testing the solenoid pack and the shift solenoids were within the normal range and the temp solenoid was way off could that temp solenoid cause that reverse and o-d issue?when i put it in either gear it tries to move but juuust barely then loses it instantly.i just don't know enough about transmissions and don't have much money at all right now so i am praying you could tell me some ideas to try idk about the temp solenoid or if it could possibly cause that issue,if it was the flow control valve is there anything i could try to unstick it without taking the tranny out?please give me your opinion on it,i have never seen or heard of a tranny going bad sitting still but i am the unluckiest person i know of for sure so if it can happen it will happen to me,thanks for taking the time to read my rediculously long message Gary i truly appreciate it,and if it helps you determine your opinion there is 140.000 miles and the o-d light was flashing when i first got it started that day but that stopped and it will not give me any codes

Nice videa

Hello sir thanks for taking the time to make these videos you have a new subscriber for sure, I have a 03 mountaineer 4.6 litre awd with the 5r55s/w after driving for about 15 minutes I’m getting the od light flash with the check transmission across the message center and a slight delayed reverse any ideas where to point me to would be greatly appreciated thanks ,,Bmar

Hey very informative video !!! One question... I need a good recommendation on a 2005 Ford Explorer 5r55s transmission rebuild kit including bands and all the seals and bearing ?

Very good video! What should I expect to pay for this rebuild on my 03 explorer 4.0 2wd trans? I'm getting ' OD Off' blink but all gears shift sooth with no slipping or clunks.

What's your opinion on the servos with the o-rings to compensate for the worn bore? I've torn them down and drilled the bore to install the bushing before but I never tried the o-ring servo.

Gary,on a complete rebuild, besides the overhaul kit (bearings, clutches, etc.) what parts do you ALWAYS replace on these units? thanks

My 05 mustang with this same transmission shifts completely fine in all forward gears but reverse takes exactly 15 seconds to engage…no more no less and it only does this when the engines warmed up. When reverse does engage it’s very smooth it doesn’t slam into gear…Also it will go into reverse immediately with no delay when cold starting. I’ve already changed the filter and replaced the fluid twice. No flashing O/D light, no check engine light and no slipping/delayed gear engagement in drive. Just this weird problem with reverse. It’s been this way for almost a year since I bought the car and it hasn’t gotten any worse. What in the world could be causing this???

Hi Gary, am watching Ur video of a 5R55S and as usual love watching U. I recently removed and rebuilt a 4T60E in my 02 Pontiac Grand Prix, which is my personal car. When shifting from 1st to second, it feel as though it misses the ratio then it shifts back into second and goes ahead with the rest of the pattern? Have U experienced this on this Trans and if so what is happening and what is the fix? Thanks, if anyone can tell me how to fix this it will be U, thanks again Mark'

I have a 03 Lincoln LS v8. My car gradually lost reverse and drive. When I put I to reverse or drive you can feel the transmission engage but when applying the accelerator it just revs like it's slipping, but it feels like it wants to go. The car will actually pull itself enough to rock the wheels a hair,but a hair is all though. I can get it to move forward if I slide the shifter over to the manual shift (+ & -). When this is done it I can drive it on the main roads manually shifting. While at speed limit speeds, if I slide it back to D from manual it just acts like it's in neutral, though sometimes it will engage and shift normally til I stop and then it's back to the way it was before. I'm getting codes P1717, P0765, P0755,and P768. I have pulled the transmission fill/level check plug while it's running at idle and about a half a quart or so of fluid came out and didn't showany sign of stopping so I put the plug back in. I also got a sample of the fluid to inspect for burnt or metal shavings were present. It looks like it's ready to be changed, but definitely not burnt. Please give me your thoughts on this. Thanks

Could you have just replaced the broken piston if you were able to pull the broken part out as well? Maybe even without dropping the trans. I have no 2nd and od as well, (scraping sounds) so I think my band is broken and have to go into the trans anyway, but just curious for the problem here. I understand this is an old video just figured someone knows. Great breakdown and explanation video.

great video....Where is your shop ??

I have a 2006 ford explorer with this transmission in it. The same code pops up. Only it wont engage when it is cold out but it will when its warm. You have to let off the gas to shift out of 1st otherwise the rpms race. We already changed the sylenoid pack and my husband checked all the servos. They were fine. I am hoping you have an answer for me. Thanks -Steph

I have a 2002 ford explorer. With po775. Pressure control solenoid B got the part but i cant find where it goes it just has a pack like the one you were saying it was a 2003. But the part i got is just one single solenoid is it located somewhere els any help thanks

i'm getting po732 and po735, but not po775. what could that indicate?

Mind is 1st and 3rd gear I just adjust the intermediate band

Have you ever re-sleeved the bores on a trans that already had been sleeved in the past? Do you leave the old sleeve in?

Thank you so much for the advise,my team and I found it useful,only problem is getting the spare here in Nigeria. What if we got a new one from the states will all issues be solved including the shift issue from D3 to D?

Hi is there any difference in a e350 .98 model and a 2001. F150 ⁴4r100

On my 03 Explorer 2wd (Limited V8) I had flashing overdrive light followed by transmission flashing. Just later today (about a week or two later after I noticed the flashing OD). The check engine light came on for Pressure Control Solenoid B (p0775). I have about 100,300 miles on her. For the car to shift into second I have to let off the gas otherwise it just holds and the engine rpm starts to get high. It also has issues going into 4th. Reverse is fine though. My guess is likely the Servo or a broken band? Or could there be potential for less serious? (At this point thinking a reman if she's toast. Any good recommendations? Looking for something with updates.

I have a 2005 Ranger, FX2, 4 liter with a 5R55E trans. I only have 1st gear, no previous signs of a problem. so it stays in 1st gear, the over drive off light keeps flashing, no reverse and no trouble codes. any sugestions or ideas?

Gary thanks for this post, I have a 02 Ford Expl O/D light is flashing. It shift rough from 1st to 2nd and the shifting has been getting gradually worse. I was reading some other comments and I havent gotten it tested or anything yet although Im pretty sure its a bad solenoid from research. My question to you if you have the chance to answer, there 2 different solenoids one thats available to change by just dropping the trans pan. Do you think it could possibly be the smaller solenoid? Would it give off a different code if it was only the smaller solenoid that was bad? Thank You

Hey Gary, I have a problem with my 5R55W not going into any of the drive gears on my 2006 Explorer XLT V6. I still have reverse, and I also have the correct fluid pressures at the solenoids when I hooked up my buddy's pro-scanner, but the transmission refuses to go into any of the forward gears. I've also tried cycling through the gears and it engaged once, but it did not move forward. It's also been two years since I've done the rebuild and I'm at my wits end with this issue. Before I throw more parts at it, do you know what's wrong with it? Current Mileage on the transmission is ~225,000mi. Thanks!

My mustang has exactly that. P0775 pressure solenoid b and I’m correct gear ration 2 and 5 which is p0735 and p0732. Exactly what you said in the video and I have no idea what to do. Can u please reason and reach out to help me

I’m having no drive no reverse. But can drive in 1,2,3 low gears.

I have a 08 ford explorer 4.0 auto 4x4. Transmission went out. Without notice. Won't catch any gear. Could be the solenoid pack?.

i have a 5r55n out of a jaguar, the thos band is not broke but the overdrive is burn a lilbit, do i need to rebore my servo still?

what causes smooth and delay forward and no reverse 5R55 ford explorer 2008

Hey Gary, awesome video on the 5r55, after watching your video , I was able to rebuild my 02 explorer. a question maybe you can answer. Since the rebuild my intermediate cover blows blows out. First time i thought snap ring wasnt seated correctly. I refilled and reinstalled with a new snap ring and same thing. any ideas?

I was waiting on him to pull a baby out of that booger. I am not about to start this project. Great job.

if the code is electrically generated,how do i go about it and another issue is after replacing the pressure solenoid,it doesnt take off on D until i shift the lever to 3 and back to D before it drives

Hey! Thanks for the video! Im about to purchase an 04 explorer V8, guy says that it has the "solenoid b" problem and has no overdrive. I am willing to try and rebuild the trans myself. Could it just be the overdrive servo/ bore wear?

How long do those transmission last after a rebuilt

my 2011 mustang v6 is not letting me go into reverse if i put it in reverse the car jumps forward a few inches and it stops and it wont move in neutral goes forward like if it was drive the other gears work forward is giving me the code p0752 shift solenoid "A" stuck on! how can i fix it?

hey gary. my 2010 ford mustang auto v6 4.0, shows a wrench light after i drive the car for a while. i put it in drive and start driving, then it shifts, and it shifts again and stays on that one, im not sure what gear that is. but i checked the code and i got the p0775 and the mechanic told me it was the soleniod pack, and so i replaced it, along with the filter and fluid, and it still does the same thing. what could it be?

I have a 2002 Lincoln ls 3.9 L and it is throwing the code p0775 but no other codes

Ok quick question could the solenoid pack be the issue in the code instead of having to tear it down? I have an 03 explorer and it has the p0775 code but no issue other than long first gear. Goes into gear fine other than that

i have the same code po775, that occurs when the car inter in water ,is possible that problem from transmission cable connector?

question for you sir. i have an 02 ford explorer and it keeps having a intermittent no engagement condition. I put it on drive or reverse and the car doesn't move. I've i let it sit for a couple of days it works fine. Then it does the same thing again

Hi Gary! We discovered a band strut on the oil pan >_

Who in the world and how did someone figure out how to build this thing

Had codes P0054,P0060 & P0775 twice come up when code reader connected.

thinking about buying an 04 lincoln ls this morning. the owner says it shifts through all gears but has to reach high rpm to shift out. do you think this is a solenoid problem?

02 ford explorer xlt..going from first to 2nd it won't go into 2nd until I let off gas an once in awhile it will slip an check engine light is on an won't going into 4wheel drive...anything

Hey how's it going Gary, my question for you is can I removed the old pistons and add new modified servo piston were they have orings built in it with a patented assembly sleeve over it

Can you interchange the S and W. I know they are different ratios but is it really noticable?

Just curious: How long does it take for you to take apart and reassemble one of these transmissions when you rebuild one. Thanks for the video.

so have a 03 explorer 5r55s has a delay when going in rev. & drive slight whine t case is a bit low can this cause this or Is it the filter, converter or pump possible flow valve o ring bad

Hello. Great videos. I have this same trans I believe on my AWD ford explorer 03. The other day after I took it to the mechanic to switch the wheel bearing and after I brought it back it didn't want to reverse. Weird. It runs perfectly fine on D. Took it back and mechanic said it was trans. It has just no reverse. Can it just be the reverse servo? No lights on dash what so ever. Thanks.

Was great video thanks a lot, have a question 2007 explorer v6 Has these codes P0791 P0775 (P0735 ,p0776) Do you think is electrical or mechanical problems ? Thanks a lot

Can you change those pistons in situ?

When a put the shifter in reverse or drive i can feel when is engage but won't move

Hi Gary, I have a 2004 Lincoln Aviator and it's throwing the P0775 code as well. It's doesn't jump any gears like the one in the video though. I notice when it starts, the RPM's go to about 1,500, and when I switch gears to Park, Reverse, and Drive, it switches "rough" I want to say. I don't know what transmission I have, nor do I have any idea on what to do. Any advice?

Is there any way to just replace the cervo ....my mustang is taking of in 2 or 3rd gear not sure which one and also the od light is flashing already replaced selenoid pack with no luck

nicely done, obviously not your first one. Do you remember being bewildered by the sheer number of parts the first couple of time you disassembled one? The 5R55 in my Sport Trac has 251000 miles and I am beginning to wonder at what point do I do something.

My wife’s had a 755 I think as a code. Yesterday it happened. Ford want $1300 for the solenoid pack replacement. Or $4200 for a rebuilt transmission. How Can a regular guy know which is the best decision

What's a good solution to clean the internal parts? Kerosene, simple green, purple power.. Etc....

I'm getting the P0775 and which is associated with the gear 2 incorrect ratio I tried adjusting the linkage but can't seem to get it right

Hi Gary, On a 2004 Explorer 4x4 137k miles, OD light flashing, P0775 is the only code. Slips at take off but catches gear with light throttle. Cleared code and came back within one mile. No overdrive, but all other gears seem to be working ok. Trans fluid and filter are ok, have not checked solenoid pack. Does this sound like a broken servo or worn bores ?

How do you know if you have pull it out versus just change the solenoid pack?

Hi Gary I just recently rebuild a 5r55w Trans problem oversize bore replace sleeves, master rebuild kit and superior kit now I have no forward gears but reverse works fine Trans pressure are within specs do u have any ideas

what solvents do you use to clean the transmission parts.

What i have to replace in this case and Where can I find the Parts

If your a used car dealership it’s best to go ahead and just rebuild the transmission the right way because. It will come back to bite you sooner or latter. G

Hi Gary, i have a 2004 Lincoln LS with a 5R55S transmission, the codes Po 732, Po735 and Po775 come up. My car was shifting gears hard and then the letter E displayed on the dashboard instead of D5, D4.. gears are worse now...I had the solenoid changed and did not fix the problem. I like your video, I live in New York too, I was wondering if you could help me, Thank you. Catherine

Help please, repaired the box 5r55s Coast Clut friction package burned down, replaced all friction clips with new ones, replaced all ribbons, replaced all rubber bands from the repair kit. Torque converter repaired. After assembly, the car does not go. I turn on the Drive, it moves slightly, I give gas a slip and does not go, the same goes for the Revers. Manual 1 transfer punch and stalls. Help please, what's wrong? Maybe a hydraulic unit or a solenoid?

Po745 code popping up won’t shift from 2 to 3 unless rpm is below 2000 and going over 25 mph

Where are you located Gary? I need my 5r55s rebuilt.

My 04 Explorer's reverse went on me today. Although it is still able to reverse slowly on flat ground it acts like neutral when I rev it. All my forward gear seem fine. Wondering if that would be the reverse band. Just seems weird I still have some reverse movement. There are also no codes. Also is it safe to drive like this? Thank you

wonderful video. I have explorer with same trans and i am having P0775, P0732 and P0735 Any idea where should I start with. Thanks!

No codes harsh shifting reverse and forward

Hello Gary, I have a 2004 Ford Explorer V6, and my O/D is flashing and I received a P0775 code only on the scanner will my transmission need to be broken down like you did this one on the video to repair it?

You have too many ads in your videos. Cant even watch for them.

great video....where are your shop?
