Well explained and understandable... Even for a novice like me!

Thanks for this.

Excellent thank you

Just saying, the plate taken off of the top of the solenoid @6:27 warps so check it that it's flat you may need to replace it if it's not flat.

Good detail if you just want to remove the pan and do a filter and fluid change. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer V6 Auto 2WD. Mike in LA, Calif

is this an identical fix to a 2003 mountaineer transmission shift obstacle mine has a slow shift engagement timeframe shifting down into first gear and usually only when warm but turning overdrive off seems to eliminate problem

If reverse is not working at all would you suggest this as a fix?

I have a 2004 ford explorer awd xlt sport. It does shift weird when driving under 50. Once I go over 50 60 then coast down a hill and I let go of the gas pedal completely the rpm drop to zero and stalls the engine. I went over 60 once and I let go of the pedal and put the car in neutral while still coasting and the engine didn't stall. Will this fix that issue as well?

what about this thump or kick when coming to a quick stop

i got a question my 06 explorer the wrench symbol comes on dashboard and itll shift to drive and reverse but it’ll get stuck it’s like there’s a disconnect its bot bumping i to gear or slipping out its like the transmission is not sending the right signal to the electronics in the vehicle to tell it to switch gears or switch to drive and reverse

I have a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer and it won't go in reverse or drive but it goes in 3 2 1 I've checked the transmission fluid and everything is fine no shavings in the transmission fluid and I don't know where the sensors are

What about the relearn procedure and a reoccuring code po745

Is it the same transmission like on a Jaguar S-type V8 4.0?

Should do a follow up video

I have a 07 ford sport track with a 5r55s trans it had a hard shift so I replaced it with the updated servos now it won't shift out of 1st. I tried to do a manual tcm reset but I couldn't find good Instructions I don't know if it's that or if something went bad. I did alot or studying and talking to people thats why i leaned to the servos, it is a common problem with that trans. . help?

I have fordexplxer 2004 a and shifting. I to neutral is the problem .Will changing fluid intermission clear up the problem it has 274780 miles the car(Ford exlpoer).

Does the car have to be level before topping off trans fluid?

Did u have to have it lifted on all 4 tires ?

What is the symptom? I want to buy one, but has a problem with third gear/shift and the seller said something about to scan the car and the issue can be something minor, thats how I ended up in this vid and I don’t know a thing about mechanics

After this now i have no reverse, and it squeels in drive and acts like its gonna slip... i shut it off immediately. What would cause that? Air bubbles?

how bout the o/d off dash light flashing & as a result,downshifting violently

My truck is stuck in first gear no matter what I do it will not come out. Would the solenoid pack cause this kind of problem?

GK7 question, so exactly what symptoms were you having on the transmission when driving the explorer on the road? I have an issue with my 2006 Ford Explorer it has the 5R55S transmission 4.0 v6 motor when i drive it and does it every now and then when i come to a complete stop at a traffic light and when i start accelerating the car wouldn't go in drive when i slowly put my foot on the gas pedal. About a second later or so the transmission catches gear and the vehicle starts to move, i don't know why it does that? Today i checked the trans fluid under the pan there was alot of the old trans fulid flowing out of it when i took the small t30 screw fitting out of it then i added almost a whole quart to it and a lot got wasted because i guess it was already full and more fluid started flowing out of the drain hole after filling it but i did not have the engine running and transmission at full temp like you did in the video. Are you suppose to have the engine running while adding transmission flluid?

*Hey - when you're installing/replacing the entire transmission/torque converter exactly how much transmission fluid is needed for this vehicle?*

What was the problem before replacing this Solenoid? I have the same transmission on my 2009 Mustang 4.0. It won’t go into Drive or Reverse only 1-3 manual gear.

My car is not moving on gear d and gear r, When i am shift the gear Car is start but after shift the gear in D or N its not moving ? You know the reason

Got this code p0791 on a 04 aviator I can’t find that sensor location anywhere can anyone help me it’s supposed to be intermediate shaft speed sensor A

You should put links to the pump. And you can be an affiliate and make money.

So to fix this.... it is replacing the shift solenoid? The Ford Explorer is my favorite SUV but I hate this problem.

3:40 damn that fluid looks like it hasn’t been changed since the truck left the assembly line.

For me I have a Ford Explorer 2010 that had the gears slipping and the hard shifting on first and second gear, I took it to the local garage they said that they fixed the problem although what they fixed is just the gear slipping, they fixed the gears slipping but not the hard shifting and let’s not speak of the check engine light EDIT:check engine light code p0191 was causing the hard shifting, idk how

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???

Does this also fix the harsh reverse lurch? My LS just started doing this last week. I checked my fluid level once warm with the car running and it looked brand new still.

Do you have to go through the gear shifting even if you just change the fluid.

How did you get the solenoid out?

Please let me know I dont have the funds to do it

I need someone to help me do this!!

My 2010 ford explorer AT blinks OD light while driving . Tried changing solenoid, speed sensor and the whole valve body as well still the issue didn't resolved. Can this be due to a faulty ECU or TCM?

I have no reverse all other gears work well what's the problem I can hear a spinning sound no revers let me know

Did you have a p0745 code?

I have a 2005 4.0.. it drives in 1 2 3 gears but barely moves in drive and reverse..

so..." How to fix 5R55s transmission problems" the answer is, persom a trans fluid change, rebuild the cylinders, but don't show anyone..." what about your transmission cooler? Band adjustments?

I replaced my trans fluid and filteron my 06 explorer 4.0 now it wont go into any gear smh

Can this fix the 2nd and 5th gear to stop slipping

You said you would post if this repair worked, I am just seeking a follow up as I have an explorer in my shop acting funny and throwing a solenoid code.

I have a 2005 and it won't catch reverse..

My 04 lincoln ls same shit
