HELP: 5r55e & Converter Removal & Installation 99 Ranger XLT Supercab 4.0 4WD
I'm preparing to replace my transmission with another 5r55e which came with it's wiring loom attached and included torque converter as I have lost all but R and cannot discern as to why and cannot afford a shop to do it.
Never done this before but mechanically inclined and fairly knowledgeable regarding vehicles. Also have a Chilton shop manual on hand and seams fairly straightforward.
Before I begin I'm seeking a step by step on what needs to be done and what other required parts I need to buy and replace as the Chilton instructions are for a 2wd application and is pretty vague and mentions nothing regarding Torque Converter or T-Case.
I have a few questions regarding this specific vehicle.
1: Should I flush the lines? Procedure?*
1a: How much Mercon V will I need w/o swap?*
1b: How much Mercon V will I need w/ swap?*
2: What goes between T-Case and Transmission?
3: Should I install a drain plug and which location is best to drill the hole if so? Any guidance installing plug?
4: Should I drain and fill the T-Case? Procedure?
4a: How much Mercon will I need?*
5: Which tools, gauges, scanners will I require?
6: What readings should I get on my scan tool regarding pressures and ratios?
7: Are there any other parts I should check out replace that will be easier while I'm doing this?*
Also if there is anything else I need to know I would appreciate the knowledge. Thank you.
