Typically when you buy a rebuild kit and they don't identify with specificity a name brand, you're getting generic clutches and bands. I put this in a PM to you earlier but figured I'd post here too should anyone be following this in the future. I've rebuilt many C4 & C6 transmissions so I do have some transmission experience, they're all tedious and need to be done in a very clean environment. Not trying to talk you out of it but if you add it all up and you're only $500 shy of a rebuilt unit, it might just be easier to forgo all the stress and get one that is already done. There are also many uncertainties such as, you order all your parts and have everything ready to go but you open the transmission and find some burned up gears you'll need to replace, then the added uncertainty when you're all done with it, reinstalled it, filled it with oil and then it doesn't shift correctly or go into reverse because something was done wrong especially if this is your first transmission. When I was faced with this, my biggest problem was when you add up the rebuild kit, the case with the bores done or the tools to bore the case with plus the bushings, add in the shift kit, thrust washers, filter, solenoid block, the converter, manual, the alignment tools (I believe there are two alignment tools that you can't skip otherwise you risk damaging the pump & converter) and everything else you might need like oil + your time a $1500 rebuilt transmission was looking awfully good to go with instead at that point. I try to get transmission bands or clutches that are name brand, so that is why I was interested in the Raybestos kit which I think is also on eBay. I’ll drop the pan soon and update on the inside of that and magnet. Master rebuild kit ( which brand is best and can last longest)Īnd a new torque converter( do I even need a new one?) Want to buy a shift kit (does one come with master rebuild kit?) Gonna boar the servos for sure ( should I get a used one?) I come back about 8hr later starts up and runs but won’t engage into any gear except park I do research I think it might be a flow control valve in tranny so that means a rebuild Yay! So being my first time doing this I’ve done hours research and understand most Parts and common flaws ( servo boar and valve body issue) and ready to order parts, but have no idea what brand or type to buy So I’m going to try and rebuild and upgrade all that follows I have a pretty good budget ($1000) I park in the drive way every thing was normal except for hard downshift. ![]() Tranny rebuild 5r55e in my 2007 Ford Exploer sport trac V6 4.O 164000 mile ok so here is the story just got my truck and not even 2 mouths after purchase.
