Item Information Need Assistance? For eBay help, general parts questions, even transmission technical diagnosis/repair help, message us on eBay, tech support is always free. This listing is for a Remanufactured Ford 5R55S/W Valve Body, model years 2001-2008, includes separator plate and upper and lower valve body gaskets. 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. Theses upgrades include: Upgraded 4-3 Pre-Stroke Spring, Two Spring Updates and an Upgraded TCC Plunger Kit. CAUTION: We have been members of the eBay community since 2000 and have been selling remanufactured valve bodies here since 2014 and would like to take a moment to caution our potential customers. In recent months there has been an influx of sellers on here and other e-commerce sites that are selling USED valve bodies as "Remanufactured" with "Lifetime Warranties" and "Sonnax Updates." To the educated buyer these claims are obviously fraudulent as the prices are too low for them to be remanufactured, let alone updated with Sonnax parts kits. We are an authorized Sonnax distributor and can assure you that you cannot purchase a remanufactured valve body for $100.00-200.00, with Sonnax kits installed. Costs are just too high to make that realistic. Granted a used part may last you 100,000 miles depending on it's previous use, or it may last you a month, you just don't know. If you are willing to spend $200.00, why not $230.00 or $330.00 for a part that is guaranteed to work? You do not have to buy from us, but please be careful and do your homework before you make a purchase you might regret. Thank you. Even though there is NO Core Charge on this valve body, a shipping label is included to return your old valve body so we can keep rebuilding valve bodies for customers like you. For detailed instructions, please read the Core Return section below. ALL Solenoids are retested before the valve body is shipped to you. Quality and reliability are our passion. ALL of our valve bodies come with a TRUE LIFETIME WARRANTY, this is the last valve body you will EVER need to buy! Most sellers only offer 12 months/12,000 miles, but we stand behind our rebuilds for LIFE. For complete details please see our Warranty section below. ALL of our Quality Remanufactured Valve Bodies are made here in the United States. This is not a cheap Chinese Rebuilt Valve Body like you will find at some auto parts stores. When you purchase from us, you are helping to create and maintain American jobs. Thank you. Below you will find some useful information on identifying your valve body and repair/replacement guidance. If you need help identifying the valve body you need, we can do a VIN# lookup for your vehicle to make sure you get the right part the first time. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU ORDERING A PART THAT DOES NOT FIT YOUR VEHICLE. THE EBAY COMPATIBILITY CHART CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO BE 100% ACCURATE. Please see the Technical Information/Identification Guide below for information on how to properly identify the valve body your vehicle needs. If you have questions or need assistance please contact us and we will do our best to assist you. ALSO, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PART NOT FIXING YOUR ISSUE. YOU CANNOT RETURN A PART ONCE IT HAS BEEN INSTALLED ONLY EXCHANGE IT. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE AN EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION TECH TO INSTALL YOUR VALVE BODY. IF PROPER PROCEDURES ARE NOT FOLLLOWED, MANY TIMES IT WILL SEEM LIKE THE NEW VALVE BODY IS FAULTY, GENERATING FALSE ERROR CODES AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL REFUSE TO COME OUT OF "LIMP MODE" OR "FAILSAFE MODE." BE SURE TO CHECK INSTALL AND REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURES BEFORE INSTALLATION. As always, if you have any questions please feel free to message us here on eBay. We have an ASE certified transmission tech, with 25+ years experience rebuilding transmissions, available to answer your questions. You COULD pay LESS, or you could do it RIGHT the FIRST time and make it your LAST TIME Technical Information In the above photo you can see a view of the bottom and top of the 5R55S/W Valve Body. 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.
