2002 Ford Explorer XLS 4X4

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. Transmission needs to be replaced. What years also will fit this?

Go to the link below and enter your vehicle specifics. It will return years and models that will interchange. I've found good yards near me that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. Or, just call/go to your local yard and ask. They'll usually know. Most have subscriptions to Hollander Interchange or equivalent.

If you don't have many junkyards (excuse me, I meant auto recyclers) in your area, expand your search to a larger radius to find the greatest range of years/models that have interchanging parts.

I used as many yards as I could (Atlanta North, South, East, and West). Search results came up with the correct years that would interchange and which yard had the vehicle.

I looking at the pricing. New rebuilt is $1200-$1600, used 168,000 miles around $700. Bad thing about used, you don't know what you are going to get. I'm not putting $1200 in a 15 year old vehicle, let allow $700, so I've decide to get a ATSG manual and watch a few Youtube videos. Youtube has several Disassembly and Assembly videos of the 5R55W transmission. Doesn't look that hard. A lot easier than the crawling on the ground loosing nuts and bolts underneath the SUV. Takes several cheater bars.
