Rebuild my 5R55E with 5R55S internals?

[4x40OHV]

I have 2000 4.0 4x4 ranger with the 5r55E that has 270k on it and has started slipping or surging slightly on the 2-3 shift I believe. It’s from a stop if I’m light on the throttle it will slip then complete the shift @10-15ish mph.

I just saw a 5r55s pop up with under 100k for a steal at the price I would pay to pull one entirely at pick a part. It came out of a 2004 Lincoln Aviator.

My question is can I use some of the internals to rebuild my 5r55e?

looks like the S has no dipstick, is totally one piece and "just about" totally different... but that is from googling not 1st hand. That said, from a couple other threads it seems they suffer the same problems so might use the same internals..

What's the difference with the various 5R55 transmissions?

does anybody know what the differance is between the 5R55S, 5R55W and the 5R55E? just wondering cause with all the problems out there i never hear anything about the 5R55S which is whats in my X. thanks for the help

Difference between 5R55E and 5R55S tranny's

what exactly is the difference between these two transmissions? I did find one post that a 5R55w and 5R55S are identicle twins the only difference is the wide gear ratio. What's the "wider" gear ratio effect on my 04 Eddie Bauer? just curious... as it seems they're more problems with...

I believe I’m just going to try to find a lower milage one to pull at a local junkyard to just swap out. It seems to be general consensus that the rebuilds on these do not have the same longevity as just finding a lower milage one to pull.
