Thats a very interesting failure. I bet most of these reman converters dont get the tar beat out of them like cop cars do so maybe thats why this issue hasnt shown up. I imagine those explorers get many WOT shifts a day and the force on that has to be pretty severe
@@GaryFerraro I would imagine this is a reman unit. If a factory fresh converter had a material flaw which would lead failure such as this, it would have happened earlier on in the life of the converter. Not that factory parts are infallible but that would be my guess.
I have yet to do a late model one such as this in my shop, but I did learn a valuable lesson on the 6r80 in a late model transit with the diesel. Only go with oem for that application as my local converter rebuilding source can not even install a new clutch in it. The oem one is very pricey, over 900 bucks.
Hey Gary, I got a 07 mustang gt with a 5r55s. I have a check engine light on for a p0745 pressure control solenoid A. The car still shifts but is slightly delayed instead of shifting at 2-2,300 rpm like normal it’s delayed and shifts at 3,500rpm. Car does have 4:10 gears. Any ideas?
if it sets that P0745 code it probably also sets P0733 codes as well. there has to be either a problem with the band or the piston that applies the band. Do you feel the upshift?@@silent_ghost3839
@@GaryFerraro yes I do feel the upshift, when it does shift it’s still semi smooth it doesn’t bang or clunk into gear. The cars got about 155k miles on it. It drove great up until it broke then I put it into winter storage. When we got the car back in 2021 we did a trans service oil change and rear differential service and coolant flush. The shop had said everything looked good
