automatic transmission rear-wheel drive automatic transmission repair student reference book COURSE CODE: 37S06T0 ORDER NUMBER: FCS-13883-REF September 2, 2004 Ford Customer Service Division Technical Training Course 37S06T0, Slide Course 37S06T0, Slide Appropriate service methods and proper repair procedures are essential for the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles, as well as the personal safety of the individual doing the work This document provides general directions for accomplishing service and repair work with tested, effective techniques Following them will help assure reliability There are numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work This document cannot possibly anticipate all such variations and provide advice or cautions as to each Accordingly, anyone who departs from instructions provided in this document must first establish that he compromises neither his personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by his choice of methods, tools or parts As you read through the shop manual procedures, you will come across NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS Each one is there for a specific purpose NOTES give you added information that will help you to complete a particular procedure CAUTIONS are given to prevent you from making an error that could damage the vehicle WARNINGS remind you to be especially careful in those areas where carelessness can cause personal injury The following list contains some general WARNINGS that you should follow when you work on a vehicle Always wear safety glasses for eye protection Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the vehicle Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless otherwise required by the procedure Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle If you have an automatic transmission, set it in PARK unless instructed otherwise for a specific service operation Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide Keep yourself and your clothing away from moving part when the engine is running, especially the fan and belts To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler Do not smoke while working on the vehicle To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry, and loose clothing before beginning to work on a vehicle Tie long hair securely behind your head Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades Electric cooling fans can start to operate at any time by an increase in under hood temperatures, even though the ignition is in the OFF position Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the electric cooling fan is completely disconnected when working under the hood Course 37S06T0, Slide Course 37S06T0, Slide The Automatic Transmission Curriculum consists of courses addressing automatic transmission theory of operation, diagnosis, and service Each course in the curriculum is a “building block” for the next course in the curriculum This curriculum is designed for technicians who want to learn the methods and techniques to properly diagnose and service automatic transmission systems and components The skills and knowledge gained from this curriculum will enable technicians to pursue training in other service specialty areas The Automatic Transmission Update course is a Web-based Training (WBT) course designed as an ongoing source of information on new transmissions/transaxles The course is required for currently certified technicians New technicians not have to take it Currently this course addresses the TorqShift transmission Future versions of the course will cover new content All technicians will be required to take future versions of the Automatic Transmission Update course to remain certified Technicians will be notified of need to take the course by electronic field communication When technicians take the course, it sets the time clock for when they have to take the next update course Course 37S06T0, Slide The Automatic Transmission

attached to the piston No additional brackets are required Band anchor struts are similar to the 5R55E Course 37S06T0, Slide 24 The coast clutch assembly is similar to the 5R55E The direct clutch assembly does not have separate steel plates x x x Uses directional friction on steel style plates Alternating direction of each plate Internal spline (clockwise) and external spline (counterclockwise) Course 37S06T0, Slide 25 The forward clutch assembly uses a bonded piston and enclosed piston spring assembly The assembly has directional friction elements similar to the 5R55E Course 37S06T0, Slide 26 Unlike the 5R55E, the sun gear and shell assembly as a single unit The low reverse gear spacer is not used in the 5R55E This part replaces the intermediate clutch as found in the 5R55N (Lincoln LS) The park gear is removed and installed similarly to the 5R55E although it looks physically different The vent splash shield is installed at the rear of the case where the vent is attached It’s not used on the 5R55E Course 37S06T0, Slide 27 The extension housings are different, but removal and installation procedures are similar Special service tools are required to install the 4X4 extension seal Course 37S06T0, Slide 28 The 5R55W uses a single piece case to increase durability and reduce NVH No dipstick is used on the 5R55W The transmission is pre-filled on the bench during an overhaul Fluid level check and fluid addition are accomplished through the fluid level plug (small plug) found on the bottom of the pan Caution: When adding fluid through the bottom of the pan using pressurized equipment, reduce the source pressure to one (1) PSI to prevent fluid from coming out of the vent Fluid coming out of the vent will appear as a leak in the converter housing area Course 37S06T0, Slide 29 The main control separator plate incorporates bonded upper and lower gaskets The plate is reusable if not damaged Individual gaskets are not available for service The reverse servo assembly is redesigned for increased capacity and durability Course 37S06T0, Slide 30 The 5R55W includes a new filter and reusable pan gasket (if not damaged) Course 37S06T0, Slide 31 The V8 torque converter requires the use of an adapter plate to connect to the engine flexplate The adapter plate design minimizes NVH Caution: Special service tools must be used when installing the adapter plate to the converter Failure to so will result in NVH issues and eventually damage the transmission Course 37S06T0, Slide 32 The 5R55N is a non-synchronized transmission It has the following features: x x x x x x five forward speeds electronic shift, pressure, and torque converter clutch controls three compound planetary gear sets three bands four multi-plate clutches three one-way clutches All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control: x x x x x x x static engagement feel shift feel shift scheduling modulated torque converter clutch (TCC) applications
