4R55E-4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. 5R55E-5 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANS. The difference is in the shift strategy that results in 5 speeds, most of the internal components are the same for both gearboxes. Valve bodies are different. Both are electronic, and both were installed primarily behind 4.0 liter 6-cyl engines, 5r55e is an improvement over the 4r44e which in turn owes its legacy to the c3/ a4ld of yesteryear.
If you open the drivers door there should be an information sticker on the latch pillar Under " TR "or " TRANS " , I believe code " D " is the 5R55E and code " T " is the 4R55E
If you have a 95-96 Explorer, you have the 4R tranny. 97-01 will be the 5R.
no they have different ecu's
Short answer NO. Long answer YES. The 5R55E transmission is the exact dimensions as the 4R55E transmission. 5R is a 5 speed, and 4R is a 4 speed. Though, as long as you don't swap the PCM on your Ford, it will stay a 4 speed.There are solenoids and sensors that are not the same, including the TCC (torque converter clutch) and a couple other things.If you are ready for your truck to be down a while, go for it.
The 5R55E transmission wasn't used until the ( 1997 ) ford Explorer , it is an electronically controlled transmission so there are no vacuum hoses In a 1996 Ford Explorer , with the V6 , the 4 speed electronically controlled 4R55E transmission was used , it also doesn't use vacuum hoses
5R55E automatic transmission
6
For that year, it should be the 5R55E.
I believe that is the 5R55E
5r55e
The 3.0 liter is not as interchangeable as the 4.0 liter. The 4.0 liter is interchangeable with the a4ld from the bronco 2 2.8 and 2.9's. The 4r55e and 5r55e's also all interchange with minor wiring differences.
On models with manual transmission the type is 5-speed syncromesh. On '93-'94 models with automatic transmissions the type is A4LD. On models '95 to present with 4 cylinder and 3 liter V6 engines the type is 4R44E. On models '95 to present with 4 liter V6 engine the types are 4R55E or 5R55E.
