I've got my first ever tear down and rebuild on a 2003 4.0l V6 4x4 automatic Ranger. I've done several 305, 350, and ls rebuilds and major repairs on other vehicles so I'm fairly confident in my ability to work on this transmission. However, since I am new to transmissions I'm having a hard time...

I asked this question in my original post, but it was suggested I start a new thread here in the Transmission forum. History: I bought a 2000 4.0 OHV extended cab 4x4 as a project truck. The truck sat for three years with 4 flat tires and the belly of the truck was essentially on the ground...

I've been struggling too find a diagram or something too show me what 1 of the 4 shift solenoids is my A solenoid (1st-2nd)

Hello, I recently finished a rebuild on my 2001 ford rangers transmission after the reverse brand broke. I replaced all the seals, O-rings, Bands Clutches, Steel Clutch plates, VB gaskets, and got the TC rebuilt. The issue that i noticed right off the bat after the tranny was reinstalled was...

I am trying to perform TSB 03-22-10 on my 2002 Ford Ranger Edge 4.0L 4WD 5R55E transmission build date 09/27/2001. The transmission has a blown upper separator plate gasket in the reverse servo area. I have ordered the Ford 3L5Z-7M203-JA pressure relief valve assembly. I need the part number for...

I was wondering if anyone had a PDF or some sort of copy for the removal. Drive and Reverse went out, 1st and 2nd gear work though. Would appreciate tips or tricks if not. Thanks!

Hi All, I am slowly working through the general maintenance for a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 I picked up with 63k original miles. It has the V6 4.0 SOHC engine and the 5R55E transmission. I am already planning to change the transmission fluid/gasket/filter, but have the following problems. Once...

02 4.0 4x4. At first I had no drive or reverse (went out on me going down the road), got home slowly, did a fluid and filter change, now I have drive and reverse back but won’t shift past 2nd gear. It’s like it drops out of 2nd to shift and just hits a an almost neutral, it goes but with no...

I have a 2003 ranger xlt 4x4. I had the 5r55e rebuilt by a long time tranny shop last summer. This is what it does, it seems to work ok but at times with cruise on it acts like it shift in and out of gear until you floor it to pass someone. It then instantly jumps to 5500rpm like it kicks out of...

On the way to work the other day, I started to get a pretty major shudder in the driveline. I've since noticed that it will only do it right after it has shifted gears and it's low in the RPM range, while you're applying more throttle to try to accelerate. It's a major shudder and will rock you...

Hey there folks, I have been reading every post about this issue for hours and none of them addressed my issue or they did not have a complete thread. I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4, 4.0 V6 (V.I.N. 1FTYR11X6YPA36711). According to all that I have found, it should be the 5R55E. When I got it (used)...

I put a good 5r55e transmission from a 97 explorer 4.0 4x2 into my 97 ranger 4.0 4x2. It won't shift.Only has 1st and reverse. Seems like it must be something electronic because it worked fine in the explorer. Anyone know if the electronics are different and can anything be done about it?

Hello Folks, I am a newbie to TRS and this is my first post. Although I have been reading posts as a guest for years. I bought a ranger for my first vehicle ten years ago and it is still my daily drive today. I recently picked up another ranger from a female aquantance whos mechanic duped her...

Well let's start for the beginning I was driving home from work one day and I get on the interstate and it work shift into overdrive the the o\d light starts flashing I continue to drive it home about 20 miles. By the time I get home I barley make it into the driveway just stops no gears at all...

Hello ladies and gentlemen. Vehicle: 2002 Ranger XLT, 4.0 Auto, 161K, electronically shifter transfer case. Me: College educated shadetree mechanic, plenty of engine experience, little transmission experience (I know how to check the fluid, does that count? :P) Short version: I'm looking for...

While i am getting ready to work on my transmission, I am gathering my data as well as reading all of the information in these news groups. I am going for the valve body gasket and probably the solenoids. (EPC) But like I said I'm still investigating. Symptom: Does not shift from 2-3 unless I...

So here’s my problem - I have a 1997 Ranger 177,000 miles, 4X4, 4.0L, with a 5R55E transmission. It has been throwing code P1744 and once threw code P0756. The problem has been getting worse but for a while if I was in OD and I had to slow down and the transmission downshifted it wouldn’t lock...

Hello, My transmission makes a buzzing, almost a cavitation, noise at start up in the mornings and after it has sat for a few hours. It seems to be worse when the ambient temperature is low (40's). The sound is temporarily muted as I move the shifter from P to R to D. This noise goes away...

We all know that the newer ranger trannies become pieces of abstract art in most high power situations, right? I'm no expert on transmissions, but I do know many people love their 4.0 SOHC engines, and it is just sad that we have to leave this platform due to the weak link that sits behind it. I...

I have a 2002 Ranger 4.0 Extended cab with 47k miles and the 5R55E 5 speed transmission. I don't want to rebuild the whole trans. When the truck is cold and you first take off in drive 1-2 shift is delayed, seems like it holds on to 1st gear too long, but does shift into 2nd. When it warms...
