    4R55E.. couldnt find a sticky & i need all of your wisdom...Please?

    ok replace all the bad parts and reinstalled the trans. still no forward gears. did the ford pressure tests and found everything was higher than it should be. so the book says valve body malfunction or something is wrong with the epc. is it worth the time to take the valvebody apart and rebuild...

    4R55E.. couldnt find a sticky & i need all of your wisdom...Please?

    Put the transmission back together with new parts today and got the same thing…no forward gears. The ford book told me to do a pressure test. I got almost double the pressure I am suppose to.

The thing that gets me is all the other clutches look almost new. This one was shot. The clutch disc had almost nothing left and...

    4R55E.. couldnt find a sticky & i need all of your wisdom...Please?

    Looked at the bands when it was all apart. Seemed to be ok. I figured when I tried to tighten the set bolts if there was a problem I would find it there. Like if the band was broke it wouldn’t tighten right? Also can the servos come out without dropping the Trans? What is there actual function...

    Got a 1996 4.0 4x4 xlt explorer with 129000 miles for $580 because of transmission problems. the girl I got it from didn’t know what was wrong with it, so I asked the tech from the shop it was sitting in. he told me it was burnt up and needed to be replaced. So I got it on the lift today and...
