I'm going to rebuild my 5R55S in my mercury mountaineer all wheel drive because ur video is very detailed my I seen my dad rebuild a hundred transmissions Chevy & Ford but I was too young to understand but I been in the shop as a child I can do anything & everything but never rebuilt a transmission I always thought my dad would be here forever I guess but he's been gone for 13 years now thanks man ur videos are great

Thank you for this ! 5 years later and it's still helping people. You awesome bro.

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.

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!!!

another excellent video my friend !!! I'm a retired Trans tech and your videos are second to none. thanks again !!

Very good work and info, instruction and exceptionally well explained. By a master that is extremely knowledgable. Thanks Hiram

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.

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!

Hiram helped me dissasemble a 4R44E last nigh.Would never even thought of taking apart an automatic. I feel pretty confident about rebuilding it.Was all night in my sleep! Thanks Hiram!

I rebuilt my sons whole transmission, your video gave me the confidence to take it on.. Thanks Hiram.. I will let you know if it runs LOL, I am torqueing the valve body now.

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 !

Absolutely Amazing !! Imagine where the world would be today without guys like this.

I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH OTHER COMMENTS ABOUT HOW GREAT A TEACHER YOU ARE. YOUR VIDEOS ARE CLEAR AND CONCISE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE. YOU ARE RIGHT ON POINT. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO FIND YOUR VIDEOS.

Thanks Hiram for taking the time to show us your tips for this transmission!

This is a life saver. Got thrown into the fire with this one !! Thanks Hiram !!

You do what the customer wants you to do. Happy NY Hiram. Your vids always fascinating and informative. Thanks I wish I was closer to you, I need 97 accord rebuilt.

Hiram great video, i have watched a number of your videos. i enjoy watching them. your voice and some of the things you say remind me of my day in tech school the instructure had basicly the same teaching ways that your have of showing who you rebuild or repair transmissions. i thank you for your informative and easy to understand videos keep up the great work.

im very happy to see this Great video from man I think he is professional I enjoyed when I see Hiram in repairs

Made use of your videos par 1 and 2 to do a rebuilt and turn out fantastic thank you again keep up the good work on trans

Probably the best descriptive video I've watched, thanks for sharing!

Great video! A real professional. Good luck!

Man i love your videos, feels like a classroom. I'm all the way in the Bahamas enjoying this please keep them coming,

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.

Hiram I love your videos. You make transmissions understandable and very very very interesting.

Hiram, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge. Great vids,

Very informative video! You're a great teacher!

This is wisdom my grand father would of love to have back in his time, thank you sir for all the tips and knowledge. Sharing is caring 🙌🙏

Thank you. I checked out alot of videos about how to replace the servo bore's and you did it justice!

ow-sum video i learned a lot i dont know shit about how to repair 5r55s trans thanks to your video i did the repair my trans myself and it works great thanks again. Larry B clearlake ca

Awesome video! Didn´t know much about transmissions and ALL the parts that are involved. Two Tumbs up!

thanks so much for this detailed tutorial, you're awesome bro.

Great video successfully repaired broken intermediate band thanks for sharing

Thank you for the excellent video. Helped me exactly where I needed it.

Thanks to your video's I rebuilt my own tranny and it's working great. Thanks man :)

Best videp of the year..👍

Amazing video thank you for taking the time to film these strips

Thankyou SOOOO much. You solved one of my problems with this video. Can't thank you enough

You are the best. Excellent video and explanations.

I've installed 2 transmissions 2nd one slipped in reverse. So I'm taking the reverse band out for the other transmission and with your video I'll be done with this Explorer. Thank you.. Sincerely

🤘🤩👍 awesome! Enjoyed watching! Funny how there’s specialty tools for things I would never think suggested for 😆 You’re video gave me confidence to do this

Thumbs up! Very nice even for those of us that cant do that stuff. lol. But at least I got the idea on them fords and them bands. I have a 97 Ranger 2.3 automatic does not want to shift into gear unless fully warm. I have to give a little gas to engage after going to 1rst from reverse. Not looking forward to the inevitable.

Enjoyed the video, again you make it look so easy. You have to give use an update as to how that trans. held up. Whether or not the customer took your advice and did something about the cooling issue. Thanks.

Excellent job super informative best trans vid

I wish you could show a completely new rebuild of a 5r55s!

Great video as always man I can watch you for hours. I'm sure I've even double watched a few. Big thumbs up from me buddy!!!!!!👍🏻

He’s doing good work

Awesome video, Hiram. Did you get a new Cam? The video was so clear and bright i could almost read the white lettering on the bottom of the W-D40 cans on your bench. The sound was very good and much better than before too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and have a great new year.

Do it once and do it right, better than ghostbustin' codes. I have a spare 5r55s and am going to give it a shot now!

Great videos sir. Thanks.

Great video. Do you have a video on a BMW e32 transmission?

Muito obrigado pela informação amigo

exelente video,me gustaria tener su alto conocimient.God bless you. saludos desde El Salvador

hi, Great Video, Thx, can you tell me if it is possible just to put in the Valve Body kit only if nothing is broken? My issue is No reverse and slips out of drive to neutral when leaving a dead stop , 1st and 2nd work and all works on the Hwy. Don

Real good job, lot's of work in oh that baby.sam

I there a huge difference between the 5R55S and 5R55W transmissions? Can the same techniques be applied when re-assembling a 5R55W transmission? Thank you for all your hard work, wonderful advise, and Excellent Videos!

Awesome Video, helped me out tremendously, can you tell the difference between to two assembly lubes?

Mr. Hiram I have some trouble installing my center support. It doesn’t want to seat deep enough to install the snap ring. I’ve engaged the 5 gears like you showed but no luck

my special tool!

Fantastica explicação

Very nice. I wish I knew 1/2 of what you know.

Hiram thanks for all the great videos regarding this transmission! I am almost done with my rebuild, how can I make sure my oil pump is aligned properly without the transgo alignment tool? I bought the superior kit and am kicking myself now realizing it doesn't come with an alignment tool. Let me know if there is another way without the expensive ford alignment kit, thanks!

Hey Hiram great video. What consist of a full rebuild?

thanks for this ...

q tal hiram me gustan mucho tus vídeos cada vez aprendo más cosas me gustaría q hicieras un vídeo de la 5r55 en español gracias

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

Hi Hiram,First thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. I enjoy watching a true craftsmen at work and you sir are a craftsmen. I have a 1996 Dodge Dakota 5.2 liter V8 2 door extended cab 2 wheel drive SLT trim package and a tow package. Can you tell me what transmission is in my truck? If the VIN number will help let me know I do not want to put it on here.The stickers under the hood are unreadable and the sticker in the door jam has no info on it.

thank you mr harim

thanks Hiram

Great videos. I am working on a 2004 ford explorer XLT. I am looking to replace everything from the center mount (I believe it's called) to the pump.... the input and output shafts are good but sun shield, bands, servo etc. Need replacement. Can you possibly post a link or two on where I can purchase these? Hopefully a couple of kits will get the job done for less than it would cost to replace transmission with new or remanufactured. Thank you.

Will the internal parts from a 5r55s case from a 4.0 engine interchange with a 5r55s off a 4.6 v8 case? I want to take a 5r55s from a 02 ford explorer and swap the internals in a 4.6 case for a 05 mustang gt.

thanks for the videos save my butt a few times

Glad we got Part 2 to watch , thanks Hiram. Whats the difference between what you did here and a rebuild? You replaced a lot of stuff

You are awesome

any of the hard parts on a 5r55e the same on a 5r55s/w

Question for anyone, what controls pressure/flow to the cooler lines?? Rebuilt my trans about 3,500 miles ago with no problems everything was within spec flowing the ATSG manual, installed superior shift kit , new torque converter, and cooler. Took the car on a long car trip and no problems till the last 10 miles when the trans boiled the fluid out and was over heating.

See if you can get us an update on this. Good vid.

have you ever seen a 5r55s with the center vent hole to be plugged with what appears to be a check ball? don't know if it's an aftermarket part, but I've never seen it before. Thanks for the info Hiram.

The trans on a 2003 Lincoln ls is an 5r55s dose it fit on my 06 mustang gt which is also a 5r55s? Both v8's

Hiram, first off great videos. Watched all your 5r55w videos and was able to rebuild my 02 explorer. I have a question maybe you can help with. since the rebuild my intermediate servo cover keeps blowing off. do you have any suggestions? What might cause that

what do the rebuild shops usually replace when they rebuild a transmission? the rebuild shop i take transmissions to seems to charge the same amount for every type of transmission sent, and i know each transmission has a different reason why it failed.
