- Family Edition video today, Cousin Nick's vehicle (The Fab4) stopped moving so he had towed in (Turbo Coupe Frankie). Problem was blown converter led to clogging the filter and the car stopped moving but we got him all fixed up and back on the road. Thanks for watching, please like and give thumbs up.
Nice video. I enjoyed the humor also. Great job. ❤
I have an 04 Mercury Mountaineer 4.6 (Ford Explorer) with this transmission. Starting to have some transmission issues at 400k miles. Its been a great vehicle for me.
nunca antes de las 400.000 millas había tenido problemas de transmisión o motor?
3 years ago I fixed my 5r55s from 05 explorer just watching your videos and some emails and still running smooth thank you Gary this videos.
Very interesting video. I just had the 5R55W transmission in my 2007 Explorer XLT rebuilt. I hope it lasts for at least a few more years since it was expensive.
I like that method on converter removal 🤣
Thanks Bill LOL
Glad to see the Fab4 is back in business :)
You make it look so easy,sending away my transmission to a rebuild shop. It was a used one i bought 2020,not this time u getting it rebuilt. A new rebuilt from work 4 years ago was expensive, but it still be running, maybe. Have a good week bud. Ps,me being a pack rat, i kept the other transmission,it got very hot,overdrive light on. By the time i got home,shut it down,fired it up,no gears.😂
Thanks for watching
Sprag gear for the overdrive 40 dollar part your welcome look it up most common failure
Working a transmission shop for 10 year we done the three Stooges thing many times
LOL
Nice video. I do repair transmissions, and this 5r55w-s tends to get destroyed after the filter gets clogged because of the faulty torque converter. I believe this is the worst trans ever made by Ford. maybe im wrong.. Good job. keep it up. love from Venezuela.

@@JOMaMa.. Thanks Gina, Greetings from New York
@@GaryFerraro can u reply to me please
Thanxx Gary, This video was useful for me. Same problem in my 2007 V6 Explorer.
Great work.. I respect your work very much, professional.. All the best / E abduallh Almalki🌹🌹👍
Incredible! I would never get this thing back together. In fact I could not even get it apart. My 2003 explorer transmission just quit. When I checked the fluid level, the fluid was black. And this transmission is only 3 years old as a rebuilt one was installed.
Stopped moving?
Unbelievable! you actually saw my comment. Thank you very nuch. Not long after I had the transmission replaced, probably about 4 months, the Overdrive light started flashing after driving the vihicle a bit. But it still ran ok. He told me it was probably nothing because the vehicle still ran just fine and if it got worse to call him. It did not get worse but I noticed what appeared to be an oil or transmission leak so I took the explorer to him about a year ago, he checked the fluid level and said it was ok. My wife was driving it two weeks ago and it jumped into the next higher gear when she pulled out from a stop light. When she tried to back out from work, the car stopped moving in reverse and also would not go forward. So her co workers pushed it back into the parking space. But when she got into it later, It ran ok and she drove it home. I also drove it in all the gears including reverse and it drives ok. So I checked the fluid level, it appears ok but the fluid is quite black!@@GaryFerraro
Thank you Gary!
Nice Gary
Gary...does the "sleeving" for the servo pistons hold up. I have seen some techs use brass and others use bronze sleeving. Then others have used modified pistons with teflon//delrin molded to the piston. Thx for the vid!

Theres something wrong, maybe filter partly clogging up. Something should have been done when that light was flashing. I would never let a customer drive it with the light flashing, means computer see a problem. Do you know what code was present?
I do not know the code but tomorrow I will check it as I have a code reader. Also, I intend to drop the pan and check the filter and check for metal debris. Too cold to do anything today. How do you know where to reinstall all the parts that you took off the transmission? Thanks again for your help.@@GaryFerraro
Im in the industry since the 80's, plus i do a lot of these units@@ronhat-nx6yq
the only codes I have are p0128 0430 and 1700. 0128 is because engine is cold, 0430 is catalytic converter and 1700 may be transmission. @@GaryFerraro
@@GaryFerraroquestion, I have a 2003 ranger with 5r55e. I would like to swap in a 55s or 55w because of the lower 1st and 2nd gear ratios. Is this possible? Are the plugs on the wiring harness the same? Will the same PCM work or will I need a different one for the 55s/w. I know that’s technically several questions, but I would appreciate any info you could give me.
I appreciate your video I have a 1996 Ford explorer appears the transmission pump went out, just getting the bolts from the exhaust to the exhaust manifold has been a Year's project is it worth going further to take the training out and replace the pump parts
My motor oil isn't even that dark when I do an oil change.
Where is the reverse switch? I've got a problem with the reverse lights staying on and draining the battery.
should be in the neutral switch on the side of the trans, external
Long shot here.. but im desperate.
2005 explorer xlt 4.0 with the 5r55s.. no reverse.. all forward gears seem to work fine.
Had a notification prior "check advtrac" (sorry running on fumes)
Had a slight knock from trans area, i didnt listen long but sounded like TC per its rhythm with the rpms.
Then one day it just had no reverse. I hadnt had anytime to check it out.. was hoping it would last longer than it did.
I can work a wrench, but never rebuilt a trans.. not sure what process for diagnosing no reverse other than start at the pan, watch youtube, and hope i can find some help..
Sounds like your reverse band is broken. If the car upshifts with no problem tells me your direct clutch is good, so you just have the band left that would engage reverse
Great video Gary. I have one of these in a 2010 Mustang. Its throwing a PO741 code. The car has 109K miles on it and drives and seems to shift good. I'm trying to decide if I should throw a converter, solenoid pack and fluid at it or if I should just buy a reman one and install it. I don't really know the service history, my guess is none. This was her boyfriends car before we got it and he was running it hard one night, it backfired and then the wrench starting coming on with this code, no other transmission codes comes up. She plans to keep the car for a long time, so maybe the reman route is the way to go, its just really expensive lol.
Any advice on a reman company to look at? I know I want the servo sleeves installed if I go that route. Thanks for the advice. Russ
Do you have a scanner that shows live data?
@GaryFerraro I have a CRP129X. It is supposed to show live data. I havent tried it yet.
@@DoubleRRestorations look at your converter slip, the PID may say TCC Rpm or TCC slip, if you can let me know what it is
@GaryFerraro Will do. I may be a bit, but I will. My daughter will be home in a couple of weeks and we will test drive it and let you know. Thanks, Russ
Gary, I recently installed a rebuilt pump in my 545RFE dodge transmission when I put the pump in it slipped out of my hand in my haste I didn't think to pull it back out to check the rings on the pump. If one of those rings is broken how might it affect the operation of the transmission
may cause a bad slip or bind-up on a shift
08I have a 5r55s transmission 08 Explorer that is missing 2nd and 5th gear. I took it out and checked the servos, but they were both good or at least not broken. I am getting thr P0775 code, so my question is what else it could be? It still drives but has to rev to 3-4 thousand rpm before shifting from 1st to third.
you may have a broken band (very common)
Hi Gary, I have the code you asked for on the 2008 bmw 528i, to refresh your memory,
The car stayed on Park and would not engage to any other gears.
We changed the valve body, empty the old fluid and replaced with 10 quarts of Pentosin Atf 1,
Same problem, it wouldn't engage, however after 10- 15 minutes of idling the check engine/ transmission light turned off and it worked perfectly. Drove it down the highway and it performed great.
Next day , same issue the next day. Will not engage into any gears from Park position.
The code reads:
4E20
EGS(Electronic Transmission Control)
Electronic Pressure Control Vale.
Thanks in advance Gary!!!
I have seen this, you changed the valvebody and solenoids?
@@GaryFerraro yes, valve body and solenoids were changed
@@maxh6920 That is a solenoid code, everything is within the tcm, no wires to check, the code will not clear? if you have, try another scan tool to see if the code will clear
@@GaryFerraro Gary we cleared the history and set back to factory setting but the code came up again, could it be a bad solenoid, If so which one?
@@maxh6920 Tell m the code again please?
hello good evening brother, I've been watching your videos excellent work you do. I have a query I made a repair to a Grand Cherokee 2010 box 722.6 I finished putting it together today I changed discs and seals all complete, when I try it I feel that the changes are not made or felt it gives the impression that I did not make them and when you go slowly you almost brake to stop and tap is there any way to reset the box or it will have some electronic problem. I hope you can support me I am writing from but I am a Venezuelan mechanic.
Does this shift out of first?
@@GaryFerraro hola que tal gary, no te entendi la que me preguntaste
Hi, how are you, Gary? I didn't understand what you asked me.
@@luistua2964 Does the car upshift or just stay in 1st gear when you drive
good day brother, if the box is placed in D and it feels like it grabs 1st if it changes normally when you slow down and brake a little almost to stop you feel a soft hit. Today I am going to test it to see if it changes the 5 speeds. thank you brother for answering me greetings I'll let you know how it went
I'm looking at buying a 2003 V8 Ford explorer and it slips in 3rd gear (drops out). Got any suggestions?
May have a broken band, very good chance it will need an Overhaul.
@@GaryFerraro is it okay to drive it in first or second gear about a mile
if the car shifts to 2nd you can go at least 30 mph, are you planning on getting this fixed?@@harrycash8713
Yes Gary I bought the car 2003 Ford explorer XLT 4.6. when I put it in first gear it's fine when I moved to second gear it's fine when I move the selecter to third gear it starts acting kind of funny and then when it gets into drive it starts slipping once it's warmed up. The only code I'm getting is a P0733. The overdrive off light starts flashing when it slips. I've heard the intermediate servo can get loose. There is a patented modification servo kit available. They say it can be done without pulling the transmission. Any help would be appreciated 👍
Yes, I never used that but you can take the servo piston out to see if any problem, little bit of a pain to do but its doable@@harrycash8713
Hey Gary, I have a few questions about a video you did on an 09 Toyota Corolla with code P2757. I too believed it was a mechanical issue, had transmission serviced, replaced the TCC solenoid, and still no luck. Have been trying to take it to the dealership and have spent 3 thousand dollars on their suggested repairs/maintenance and all for none to work. I did end up replacing the ECU myself from a company that remanufactures the computers, is it possible I got a faulty computer? The car did feel good after replacing the ECU but it only lasted for a few days before just feeling the same again, if not a faulty computer then any other ideas? I would think my only choice would be to try to get a computer from the dealership
Is your car a 2009?
@@GaryFerraro it’s a 2010, Toyota Corolla S, with the 1.8L
please original spare parts address
Cousin Nick drossos? He has a yt channel.
no, not him
Gary, I changed the valve body on my 2008 bmw 528i, not it runs perfect but it takes at least 20 minutes before it allows me to shift to D or R, the check engine light stays on with transmission fault once it it clears on its own then let's me operate the shifter.
What do you think is the issue?
Thanks in advance!
@@maxh6920 Have the car scanned and let me know the code along with the definition
@@GaryFerraro will do , thanks!!
