It can be built for 2WD or 4x4 application and comes with a heavy duty 'RV' style torque converter. Please note that starting in 2002, the Explorer used a 5R55S or 5R55W transmission. This is not the same as the 5R55E, but can be found elsewhere in the Ford category in our store. 5R55E or 5R55W For Explorers built after 1996, V6's have 5R55E and V8s have 4R70W. A 4R55E was with the V6 from 1995 to 1996. Last edited by viiidude; at 10:22 AM. (Superior Part # K4R/5R55E ) MADE IN THE USA. Includes Detailed Install Instructions.

Okay so start my truck, put it in drive, I can feel transmission engage, try to accelerate, and you can feel the truck ever so slightly try to move but nothing (this happens with or without overdrive locked out), shift truck to 1st or 2nd and it drives like a dream. Shift from 2nd to drive with overdrive locked out and it drives like a dream (never slips). Turn overdrive back on and the transmission will only slip if I slow down to under 20kmph or if I floor it and try to accelerate hard. Reverse sometimes works but it struggles and needs a lot of throttle to get the truck moving. Parked the truck for a few weeks. Decided to take it out for a drive (truck needed to be boosted because of dead battery) out of habit I shifted to first and 2nd and then to drive with overdrive off after driving for a little bit I decided to try overdrive again and what do you know the truck drives fine. Like brand new! I was still worried so I brought it to transmission shop to have it tested. They ran a diagnostics on it and everything checked out they told me it was possible my fluid was low because or a leak in the pan gasket(I know of the leak and monitor my level, fluid is kept at proper level) Drove it for a week and problem is now back.
