5r55e interchage

[Destroyer000]

so i have a 00 ranger with a 4.0 and a 5r55e, reverse is gone. if i put it in gear and i can sorta of feel it engage but doesnt move, all foreward gears work good. i have a spare trans out of a 2002 i believe ranger 4.0 . i noticed it has an xtra sensor on it. will that matter as far as swapping into the 00? or am i on the hunt for another transmission? will that trans work in the 00?

2000 model 5r55e's have a TSB about bad valve body gaskets. They are prone to blowing out causing leaks resulting in low pressure and delayed or no reverse engagement.

Before replacing the trans it is probably worth it to spend the 20 bucks for the updated bonded valve body seperator plate & gasket to see it that is your problem. It can be replaced in less than an hour.
