5R55W TRANSMISSION!!!!!!!

Now I have seen that there are alot of problems with this transmission. I just bought my truck about 6 months ago. There is only 75,000 miles on it and the transmission went up. For whatever reason the 5R55W transmission is much more expensive then other ford models. I can't find this transmission ANYWHERE!!! Is it possible to put a different transmission into a 02 explorer xlt??

 

you have checked in the transmissions forum right? I'm sure you will get some responses on here soon! I personally don't know much about the 02 explorer-is the trans a automatic or a stick?-I'll call a buddy and have him check at crazy rays -to see if they have one in the lot! it's a pull and pay place!

 

I googled "5r55w transmission". It came back with lots of hits.... ebay has some but they ain't cheap....

 

yeah Bud that seems to be her problem-too much?

 

What part of MD you in, Single?

 

Jr, I just did a Google search and it is for a 2 wheel drive, auto with the 4.0 V-6 in it. This tranny will not fit a Sport Trac.

 

Its an automatic

 

This guy told me about the site car-part.com and its supposed to tell you all the cars that your transmission will fit with....its says a sport trac on it. Has anyone been 2 the site and can help me understand it?

 

So are you saying that you have an Explorer Sport Trac ?

If so it should look something like this...

 

No, I have a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT....but when I went to the car-part.com website you put in the year, make and model of your car. Tell them what you are looking for and its supposed to tell you all the vehicles that have that transmission.

 

It may say that, but I wouldn't pick one up...it's different inside than yours!

 

sorry so late tonight popeye1999-just got home from work-need to know what size motor --it's a 2002 right? post it and I'll call my friend tomorrow and see if he can find one cheap-sorry i never got a chance to ask earlier

 

oh and it's 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive?-sorry long day

 

Its 4.0 engine and its a 4wd. I have heard of people swapping transmissions to give it more power. Can I do that? If so, what can I swap it with?

 

sorry girl so far i have come up with zip nada? I have tried even got a few scrapers i know checking for a 5r55w-before the haul em in for scrap-still checking-any luck in the transmission thread?
