O/T: '99 Explorer transmission

[Anonymous-0]

1999 Ford Explorer, 4x4, 4.0 V6, not SOHC engine, what automatic transmission does this rig have? I understand the SOHC engine uses the 5R55E, but the pushrod engine uses something else. The junkyards cant tell me what trans. it is, only that they dont have one. Thanks

You probably have a 4R70W.Call your dealer parts dept.with the VIN and they can tell you for sure.

Where are you?I have a good parts locator.~brad

FWIW, I have an early 2000 Ranger 4x4, 4.0L pushrod with the 5R55E. Hope this helps.

Hello Brad thanks for the reply, I'm in Northeast Georgia, Cleveland to be exact.

Your probably right about the 4R70, I've learned they used a 4R55E up until 98 then the 5R55E and the 4R70 in 99 up.

I'll call a dealer Monday with the vin just to be sure.

Do you have a salvage yard? Just wondering since you have access to a locator.

I actually have a repair shop.The locator is a subscription I have.VERY handy.

Let me know for sure which trans and your zip code,and I'll help you find the nearest one.~brad

Hey Brad, according to my dealer the transmission code D on the vin sticker inside drivers door says it is the 5R55E. The 4R70 is a V-8 trans. Apparently the interchange info the salvage yard has doesn't gee-haw exactly with what Ford says??? I dont know who's right.

Anyway my zip here is 30528 I'd appreciate any help, also I'd like to know about the locator service you have, I run a shop myself where I work on farm tractors and heavy equip. but also have a used car lot and it seems I'm always looking for something. Thanks
