In 1996, with the 4.0L, the drive components were beefed up to become the 4R55E. In 1997 the unit became a 5-speed by applying the front servo to obtain an overdriven first and 5th. From that time on, it’s become either a 5R44E or 5R55E. Since 1995 there have been many valve body, plate or solenoid changes. It can be built for 2WD or 4x4 application and comes with a heavy duty 'RV' style torque converter. Please note that starting in 2002, the Explorer used a 5R55S or 5R55W transmission.

The 5R55E, though mechanically similar to the 4-speed 4R55E, was a new breed of electronically controlled automatic transmission with an additional forward gear.

MAzFord 5R55E – ATSG (Automatic Transmission Service Group) PDF. The 5R55E transmission produced by Ford Motor Company, was introduced in the 1997 model year, and is the first 5 speed automatic found in domestic vehicles. It is currently found in the 1997 Aerostar Van, 1997-2001 Ranger Trucks, both 2WD and 4WD, and 1997-2001 Explorer vehicles, equipped with the 4.0L engine. This unit is very similar to the 4R44E, but has different computer strategy that energizes the overdrive band in first gear, to create the added gear ratio. Refer to the application chart found on Page 7 for the new computer strategy. Many of the parts between the 4R44E and 5R55E units may look the same, but are not all interchangeable. Be very careful when selecting replacement parts, if it becomes necessary.
