Finally finished rebuilding my 5R55W transmission and have it back in the 2002 Explorer. Reverse works good, Drive works great, but I am having problems with it wanting to take a long time shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Have to let up on the accelerator in order for it to go into 3rd. Goes into 3rd hard! 4th gear and 5th gear are finally back. I rebuilt it because I didn't have overdrive. When I didn't have overdrive, it would also take a long time to shift into 3rd and was hard.

Checked codes and am getting a "pending" P0745. Pressure Control Solenoid "A".

Anyone one have any idea with what I need to start with?

 

Never mind. I let it rest for about 2 hours and thought I'd test drive it again. Shifted through all gears as smooth as silk. Can't believe how well it shifts now. Maybe something dislodged itself or the intermediate servo was tight and finally loosened up. Turned out to be a really good day.

 

Glad you got it sorted. Could have had a piece of trash in the solenoid body that worked its way out.

 

Nice. Well done.
