4R44E Transmission Teardown Inspection - Transmission Repair
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 เม.ย. 2013
- Here we see a teardown of a 4R44E transmission of a Mazda B3000 3.0 V6. This unit is also on the Ford Ranger and Ford Explorer. Although the unit changes in name, they're virtually the same unit as I explain in the video. 4R44E has 4 pinion planets on the front and rear. 4R55E and 5R55E have 6 pinion planets. 5R55E has an added speed sensor and reluctor on the output shaft for an added signal for the computer to make a 5th gear. Most of the parts are interchangeable between the 3 including valve body. The computer is the one responsible to make this transmission shift 5 times. The added gear is between 1st. and 2nd. applying the overdrive band to give you that extra gear that some call it 2nd prime.

Holly crap no wonder why transmission repairs are so expensive, there's so many pieces that make the transmission work. Great job.
Thanks Hiram. I was an industrial equip mechanic for 20 years; I've never seen such thorough training while performing a machine disassembly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of your trade.
Your video is one of the very best. You speak clearly and explain a lot as you go along. I hope you live long and prosper.
It's interesting to watch you do your thing. I always bring my transmissions to the professional shops. Thank you for the video posting.
Hi Hiram. You sir are one awesome transmission man. Your video is a delight to watch and I love the way you do teardown. I have never seen anyone better in my 60 years of watching tons of guys turn wrenches and run impacts. Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge on TH-cam. My hat is off to you and all you do!
Most educational video on this transmission I've found so far. Thanks very much for showing
Just commenting to say thanks a lot for this video. Saved my self hundreds of dollars by doing this my self. Super helpful! My spray gear flipped and I had all the symptoms you described.
Always learn something when I watch your videos...You do a terrific job!
Hiram - Thank you for all your hard work and the informative video.
Just started disassembling my 4r44e glad this video exists!
Great video. have been to school and have a couple transmissions under my belt. an A4LD and a C4. Both easy. Starting on a 4R44E next week. Your video shows that its a little more complicated then the others. But your video shows me the differences and im sure to have zero issues with it. Thanks fior the preview.
Can't wait to get started thanks for the great awesome video keep up the good work
I have three transmissions two 5r 55 East and 14044 or 55 e. I plan to take the good parts out of all three and rebuild One transmission so that my wife can go to work. I look at it this way I'm gaining experience and pushing my knowledge skills above and beyond what I know now. Thank you to the guy that made the video I'm sorry I don't not good with names.
Hiram is bad to the bone!
I just removed my 4R55E from my 4.0L exlorer and was hoping to find a good video on youtube and found Hirams video and I am blown away how wonderful he did, nice job!
Thanks so much.
Damn, you're good! Amazing how much stuff can fit in a transmission!!!
This Dude rules!!! Learned a lot from this vidio (4R75e vid) and its going too save me a grip of cash! Thank you Mr.Gutierrez!
Hello Hiram, I am a builder also, been building about 38 years and build foreign and domestic trans. I just wanted to tell you how great of a job you did. I don't know of a thing i would change! Look forward to watching some more of your videos.
Great video,very cool to see how they work thanks
Men's like this guy are the ones who make America great.... Thanks bro
Thank you for this video and your time. A mechanic put my torque converter in wrong and stripped the part that has the notches. Thanks to this I know it's the inner gear and I can replace it myself saving me a lot of money. Thanks very much!!
This is a great vid. Auto transmissions will probably always be a total mystery to me. But its cool to see someone tear it down like its nothing!
Hey Hiram, I'm tearing apart/rebuilding an A4LD model and am using your video as a very useful visual guide. You've given me some extremely helpful tips about not busting stuff and this is the first time ever I've taken apart a transmission. I'll be rewatching this video multiple times. Thanks for the video!
This video has changed my understanding of automatic transmissions from not knowing much, to absolutely blowing my mind as to the complexity and the engineering that has gone into the development of something that most take for granted every day. You make it look so easy, as obviously you do this stuff all the time. It explains to me that if I have problems with the trany in my truck, take it to someone who knows what their doing! Thank you for the incredible detail in explaining the "what this is and what it does". It does inspire me though to maybe find an old beater, and pull the tranny to tinker with it and see how far I can get! With the quality of the explanations, and a bit of luck, maybe I can! thanks again!
Instead of all this typing go do it
Thanks for posting, very informative. Keep posting.
Videos like these are infinitely better than a forum post or manual for someone with no experience. I was told by a shop locally that any labor to my trans at ~230k miles would warrant a new trans anyways because something is likely to fail. I was able to leave the trans in and rebuild the valve body with a shift kit, adjust bands, and replace servo covers in my driveway in one weekend thanks to you. Still shifting great at 260k!
Well, I just found out that half of the people on the internet are wrong and that the Turbine/Input speed sensor is definitely inside the transmission. Time to sell my Explorer. I have no desire to take this transmission apart far enough to replace a sensor when the transmission isn't even that old. Thanks for the great video. Very helpful.
Great video so educational. I did my own transmission from this video. Thank you so much sir!!!
You’re a cool dude, man. Much appreciate and enjoy your vids 👍🏼
I appreciate that!
Excellent Video. Thanks Hiram
Thanks much for this video. I'm rebuilding an A4LD on a 1990 2.3L Mustang. Your video really helped me understand how everything goes together. Still learning. The quaility of the video is real good too. Thank you for the explainations too.
Buena explicacion y al grano la mejor ke he visto sr hiran
Thank you so much for doing this video
👍👍👍
Your a life saver
👍👍👍
watching you do this almost makes me think I can take on such a deeply involved task. (no way in hell I would) excellent video and detailed description of that transmission. I was having some trouble with harsh down shifting from 2nd to 1st. I'm going to do the easy simple stuff first and hope for the best. subscribed because I learned a hell of a lot from your video.
Great video. Thanks for talking me out of doing this myself.
This was a very informative video. Me and a friend of mine are hopefully about to rebuild the transmission in my 1997 Ford ranger soon. Although we've both been through several other transmissions, this will be a first on one of these.
I rarely subscribe to you tube channels, but I am watching a real expert. Hiram definitely knows his shit, Great video done really well.
Thank you for your open bright mind.
Awesome video Hiram, When it comes to transmissions, You are the man. I've been watching and learning from all of your videos, but i cant find any answers to my trans problem. I have a 96 explorer 4.o with 4r55e transmission. One day the transmission went out as in all the gears that i selected were all forward gears, even park and neutral. The engine was under load all the time. I am a pretty good mechanic when it comes to rebuilding engines, axles, and manual transmissions.In addition to watching you i felt confident in rebuilding this transmission. So i ordered the rebuild kit which included all the gaskets, clutches, bands and o rings and misc. No hard parts. Rebuilt and installed transmission, New fluid(drained old fluid, didn't do complete flush)What i did find during rebuild was that some of the clutches were welded together and the fluid was filthy. Nothing else seems too bad, But i did replace all clutches and seals. Also, I didn't adjust the bands. I just put them back where the were.Now, my main issue. When i select a gear, I get either no response or only reverse. Park is park, reverse is reverse, neutral is neutral drive and overdrive -no response, 2nd -no response, 1st is reverse. I don't know whats going on. I know this is a long story, But if you could point me in the right direction, That would be greatly appreciated.

you're a hard worker, well done...
Wow you are a guru, great video man!!!
Awesome job explaining
You uploaded this almost a decade ago, but it's still helping people today. Thank you. I hope you're doing well
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO AND SHARING IT
VALUABLE KNOWLEDGE
48 MINS WENT BY SO FAST KEEP UP THE GREAT ]WORK!

Exact trans in my truck. Excellent video.
Thank you Hiram. I need to get all the information I can on this transmission to help me with my retirement project.
I sincerely appreciate the work you have put into this video! You just gave me hope! My Ford Ranger has this exact Transmission model, and is about to go out. Thank You!
awesome video!
Great video. Thanks a million
Thank you Hiram 👍🏻
Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Mr. Gutierrez
That was one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. You had that apart in just under 1 hr and you took your time and explained things along the way. I have a pretty high mechanical aptitude my master rebuild kit is on my workbench am going to Napa for the input sensor as well as a neutral safety switch in the morning (most likely will take an Uber it's 426am time to pull this into the shop get ratchets going. Hope you made those follow up vids so I have a clue
I uploaded a full rebuild video about 2 months ago. Browse through the channel videos.
@@AutomaticTransmission I ordered the master rebuild kit from global transmission. The only one that contained more was out of stock. As per your advice am waiting on napa to get the input speed sensor in (will be there 8am ). Since I'm having issues starting within park now and then and have to shift the automatic into N tonstart it I'm getting a new neutral safety everything w lose on this thing is from 1999 trans probably that way too.
100%good thanks Gutierrez
REALLY SMART GTZ .GREAT GTREA VIDEO.ERES UN GENIO HOMBRE GRACIAS
Nice video
Thanks for the video
Excellent video! Wish you could post one of the re-assembly.
very good video, thanks
very nice hiram!
You make it look easy bro
Excellent video. If I were that good at transmissions I'd tear down my 5r55e and rebuild it right now.
thanks and god bless you.
you are good.i ve done 3 now .....i like it
thanks excellent video !!!!!!!!
Decades of experience distilled into 50 minutes.
Most excellent.
OK. answer to my own question is seal ring can wear a groove in center support that will keep support and forward clutch cylinder from coming apart new used parts in my case were a most E-bay but look for the right part and price be for you buy even though these parts can be cheap seams like you can always find cheaper and free shipping helps too.
Hiram is bad to the bone for helping us out! Thanks again.
Thanks man!!
Thank you
Saludos gracias por tus videos mean alluda do mucho
I straight want to be this guy. Hyrum is a boss. 👊 I'm rebuilding a 5R55E in my Explorer with no seats but a driver's seat. I just assembled it and had a retaining clip & a bearing left over.. heh. no problem. I'll pull it apart & install the 2 pieces. Got my 99' Explorer for 300$ cause of a broken reverse band. Thing is immaculate otherwise. nice video.
Watching this 1/27/2020 very well explained and detailed . I lost 3rd and reverse so I'm thinking my solenoids my be bad or I broke a band.
Hello, excellent video! Are you going to post an assembly video for the 4R44E?
Thanks fo the video great job
Funny "if you miss the part # rewind the video "
Lol
Hey Hiram; thank you for your awesome videos and providing such a vast wealth of knowledge to us for free! Your videos are very confidence inspiring to those of us in the learning process.
Have you published an assembly video of a 5R55E or similar? Or any of your viewers; could you possibly answer that for me? Thank you so much for this great service you provide! 👍
Can I put a 5R55E/ or or a 3.0 v-6 trans in place where a 4R44E was? , whats the draw-back? really appreciate your teaching! I know you tell us a lot, in the future can you make a lot more comments like that; {not you though I notice an increasing trend of other guys} on you tube not showing the actual performance of operations
thank you
also subscribed, liked, and shared!
Hi, I have a question, I have a 5r55e transmission, while driving, in 3rd gear you hear a clunk while its in gear (not shifting up or down) and my question is, what could be the problem? It used to also flare between 2&3 gear and 3&4 gear (it would rev engine up a little before shifting, about 100-200 RMPs) so I added Lucas transmission fix and that seemed to stop). But i still hear that clunk while in 3rd gear, it's not noticeable while accelerating slow, but if I accelerate fast it clunks) any ideas of what the problem could be? Thanks in advance
Hiram please do an assembly video of a 4R55E. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks, l enjoy the video where you get the parts,4R55E
buen video saludos
yea i would like to see a reassembly on this transmission it be great if you could do a reassembly video and greatly appreciated
me gustaria este video en español, y tambien uno de la 4l60, gracias por los videos, son muy buenos
Mr., Gutierrez have you made a video on how to put the 4r44e back together. thanks
Great presentation Hiram. My 97 Explorer trans crapped out. I had no movement in forward gears. I limped home in 4 WD. My vehicle has 155,000 on it. Good engine. I will look for another good explorer. Seems my Overdrive is screwed up as I got a whirring sound as I coasted to a stop.
Thank you for sharing this video. I like the fact you explain every part that was in the transmission & what it dose. So I have this same transmission & my overdrive light keeps flash on my dashboard do I have to get a new transmission or is there a sensor I can replace
If I had to guess... I would say this gentleman has done this before!
hello, very good instructive video , i have the same question as shane are you going to post an assembly video for the 4r44e ?
Question I have a ford ranger, AT, 2.3 that shifts very hard from 1st to 2nd, and also into 3rd but a little bit softer, do you think it need a total overhaul or can it be patched by replacing only the solenoids? and the gaskets?
Great video learned a lot is there anyway you could make a video on the assembly of this transmission.Thank you
Hey man, I first wanted to say thanks for making these videos. I have a question on how to properly adjust the bands on this transmission. My overdrive light was blinking and the transmission was in limp mode. I used this video to help me rebuild the transmission but I still have the problem. Was hoping you could point me in the right direction.
You da MAN!!!!
The 5Rs seem to be much harder on the bores than the 4r. To get 5 gears the transmission the trans works the bands more and is double the wear and tear on each upshift cycle.
dam you are the man .. i have a 5r55e the car wont go into drive or reverse i changed the valve body like 2 weeks ago at a mechanic . could it be the reverse servo o rings .. or do you thing its the sprag and planetery .. i love this truck your help is much appreciated peace.
I really appreciated your video. Thanks for the walkthrough. I have an 87 a4ld that I have had many hard lessons with...8 pull-outs to date; my last rebuild I installed the steel 6 gear direct planetary versus the 3 gear aluminum planetary that decided to destroy itself resulting in the last teardown. My question is, was it a good move to put the steel planetary versus the aluminum one, and do you think it will do ok??? Danny Thompson
hi Hiram, I'm thinking about rebuilding my self the 4r44e, I'm pretty confident to the tear down, thanks to your video. do you have a video for the actual rebuilding of it? or are you in the process of making one? thank you very much
i would also love to see a reasembly as i am currently using your Very informative video to save me time and money
this guy is good, i think. he's dissecting that transmission like he knows what he's doing but even with a how assemble, i think i'd just convert one to a standard lol. i've done that to a couple trucks, with automatic transmission issues. interesting video though.
Have you ever used Knipex Pliers?
I noticed the ones you have would pinch your hands if you slip. The Knipex has the no pinch design. They’re a little more expensive but well worth it.
Their Cobra pliers to replace the ones you were using and a pair of Pliers Wrench also.
I swear you’ll love them!
Hi Hiram. Thanks for posting this! I do have a question. is the front pump the same on the 4R55E AND 5R55E? I think I might of broken it by not aligning the torque converter on to the splines on the 5R55E and thats the one I need for my '01 ranger.
