Ford 5R55S, 5R55W Valve Body 2001-2008

This listing is for a Remanufactured Ford 5R55S/W Valve Body, model years 2001-2008, includes Top Plate. This
Valve Body does not include the Solenoid Block. Ford advises that you replace the Solenoid Block whenever a
transmission problem or failure occurs as a defective Solenoid Block can produce multiple fault codes. Please see the photos and illustrations below in our Technical Information section for useful tips and identification information.

This valve body is better than OEM, it features many upgrades to increase reliability over the standard OEM valve body.

These upgrades include: Upgraded 4-3 Pre-Stroke Spring, Two Spring Updates and an Upgraded TCC Plunger Kit.

Beginning in 2009, changes were made to this valve body. One of the changes is the
location of the Rough Forging number. The RED ARROW above shows the location
of the Rough Forging Number in model years 2001-2008. The GREEN ARROW
shows the location of the Rough Forging Number for model years 2009-UP.






One possible cause of a delayed reverse in this transmission can be a stuck
Low/Reverse Servo Control Valve, which is located in the Low/Reverse Servo.
The Low/Reverse Servo Control Valve controls oil flow to apply the Servo. When
the Valve sticks, it cannot regulate and fills the Servo very slowly, causing the
delay.

Because the Valve and Spring are located under a threaded end cap, it
can be overlooked. If the Servo Housing was put in a hot pressure washer for
cleaning, water, soap and dirt an collect in the bore and valve area.

Always remove the Valve and Spring during cleaning and double check that the
Valve operates freely in the bore when clean and dry.





Both versions of this valve body(2001-2008 and 2009-UP) have two check
balls in the locations indicated in RED above.
