How to Replace Transmission Filter & Gasket Set 95-03 Ford Explorer SUV

For More Info visit us at: https://1aau.to/h-aiI Ford used the 5R55E in many rear and 4 wheel Drive applications. It is a good transmission but is susceptible to the valve body gasket "blowing out." The symptom of this in our vehicle was that the transmission missed second gear under acceleration but found a higher gear when we let off the gas pedal. This is an easy problem to diagnose and only requires basic tools. Pull your transmission pan down, remove your valve body and see if either the gasket between the plate and transmission is damaged (as on our Explorer) or the gasket between the plate and valve body is damaged. If they are then you have an inexpensive rewarding fix. If they aren't you can put your transmission together and know you may have a more expensive problem. This transmission was used in Ford Aerostar, Ranger, Explorer, Thunderbird, Mustang Mazda B-Series pickup, Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln LS and Jaguar S-Type. This problem is more common to the mid to late 90s models. Torque specifications for the valve body to transmission bolts are 6-8 foot lbs or 70-90 Inch lbs. The bolts that hold the transmission pan on are 10 foot lbs. This repair was done on a 1998 Ford Explorer XL 4.0L and the process should be similar on the following vehicles: 1995 Ford Explorer 1996 Ford Explorer 1997 Ford Explorer 1998 Ford Explorer 1999 Ford Explorer 2000 Ford Explorer 2001 Ford Explorer 🔧 List of tools used: • Flat Blade Screwdriver • 10mm Socket • 13mm Socket • 8mm Socket • Ratchet • Mercon V Auto Trans Fluid • Rust Penetrant • Drain Pan • Floor Jack • Jack Stands Subscribe:    / @1aauto   Check out our playlist: Ford Auto Repair Videos:    • Ford Auto Repair Videos   📱 Download the 1A Auto Repair App for more videos, torque specifications, and car repair information: https://1aau.to/appdownloadyt 🚗 For More Info visit us at https://1aau.to/h-aiI ⚠ DISCLAIMER: While 1A Auto strives to make the information provided in this video as accurate as possible, it makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness or applicability of the content.
