Band adjustments on a modern car, been a while since i adjusted bands, you make me want to go on a learning curve on auto trans bands. The over temp code was interesting it threw me into oh no whats the cause if the cooling system and trans fluid is fine,slightly loose bands?Buying you a Bear i mean a beer sounds nice.
hi, yeah there are a few late model transmissions that still have band adjustments. i don`t think many are aware of the band adjustments on some....i often come across being the first to do the adjustments when they come in for a service. indicators of incorrect or not adjusted bands are when they wear out the tips of the bands and also the servo piston rod bore in the case wears out, because the angle of the band apply is out/excessive. also worn band, or out of adjustment band, will affect the timing of the band apply and will affect the gear changes. always good to adjust your bands regularly. ( another trans i just recently reconditioned that has never had band adjusted is pajero/montero/triton 5 speed v5a51 trans ) cheers
I've got a Ford Aerostar that I backed the overdrive adjustment bolt out of all the way because I'm a genius. Now my transmission works perfectly but my overdrive doesn't kick in. Anyway of fixing it without dropping the whole transmission? Thanks
hi, you may be able to pop strut back on left side trans with some assembly gel on screw driver. i`ve done a a few intermediate band struts like that. worth a try. if you cant then drop the vbody. cheers
Are those adjustable bands exterior, i mean I they are adjustable on the out side, and other question how you said it can be adjusted? .. Sorry for my English
hi, if band is broken it will keep threading in too much. you can see the bands when you remove the pan. sometimes if bands havent been periodically adjusted or incorrectly adjusted, the band anchor and strut brackets fall out. check all the basics first. check out our other 5r55 vids for more info. th-cam.com/play/PLQLkuOdKuFovvYiynq3ee--0WSSUyeIxu.html cheers
Hey mate I've got an FG Falcon with this transmission. Has no 3rd gear (revs out then jumps to 4th), I was wondering whether there's any way I can reasonably patch this problem myself or should I just get a ZF put in? Thanks for the video.
@@YepThatsIt Hey mate thanks for your reply. I just checked today and the band is broken. (adjuster keeps screwing in) Wish I'd checked that before I went and changed the fluid and cleaned up the solenoid... If there's a way to cost effectively replace the band that would be great..
@@themobilecardr.8858 can you contact me on facebook link and tell me what its doing in other gears and when manually selected..., incase we need to exchange pics, vids...we can do it on there. cheers
@@YepThatsIt the only codes that come up is a comms fault and it says its not in park when it is. It was driving completely fine then i parked it when i whent to drive it the next day it would not move
hi, if you do a regular trans service - we do band adjustment every 2nd service or if unknown we just adjust them. sometimes people decide to do their own version of adjustment to either take up the band apply time or to extend it. all depends on the person, motor, weight and condition of the vehicle. a quarter turn either way from the recommended wont do any harm on these transmissions if there is enough lining. keeping the bands adjusted properly allows lining to wear evenly and in doing so wont cause pressure on the servo apply rod to wear out the case as quickly and also the band tips wont wear out as they can if way too loosely adjusted. cheers
hi, if too tight may wear out prematurely, if too loose the tips of band can wear out or the band will wear out unevenly causing metal to meal contact with drum. also the shift timing can be affected. cheers
hi, was it a new solenoid block? did you purge air out of it ? for more tech questions contact us via facebook link in description and bring some beers. cheers
@@YepThatsIt do the linear solenoids need to be calibrated when installing the whole block? Or do they only need calibration if you’re replacing individual solenoids?
@@MustangGuy1996 we calibrate when block is assembled. then when you install block you may need to perform trans relearn/readapt so pcm knows you have repaired/changed solenoids block. make sure you purge the air out of block before you install it or you will have very hard shifts until air is purged out. if you have more questions you will need to contact me on facebook link and supply some beers. cheers
Good day, I've got a question l think you could answer easily, and believe me I'd send a six pack of beer if knew how, so i have the same transmission, when i start it up and put it in reverse, it engages without a problem, but if i don't start to move, well if I'm moving or not, it would disengage until I start pressing the accelerator, I can't seem to find the problem Solution on TH-cam and anybody that I have asked on TH-cam has not replied back, can you help me friend?

@@YepThatsIt I got it 👍. I used an extension magnet
Have PK Ranger 3.0 auto transmission which only goes into reverse and forth (I think forth). Any ideas?
Hi do you have a video showing how U doing the adjustment for the over drive and the other one I'm not really understand how thanks
hi, should be in one of my other vids th-cam.com/play/PLQLkuOdKuFovvYiynq3ee--0WSSUyeIxu.html cheers
Are those adjustable bands exterior, i mean I they are adjustable on the out side, and other question how you said it can be adjusted? .. Sorry for my English
hi, check out my other 5r55s 5r55w vids. you can adjust the bands externally. cheers
So you tighten in the adjustment and then back it off? Can you tell if a band is broken?
hi, if band is broken it will keep threading in too much. you can see the bands when you remove the pan. sometimes if bands havent been periodically adjusted or incorrectly adjusted, the band anchor and strut brackets fall out. check all the basics first. check out our other 5r55 vids for more info. th-cam.com/play/PLQLkuOdKuFovvYiynq3ee--0WSSUyeIxu.html cheers

hi, can you adjust the intermediate band ( middle one ) ? or is it broken ? any fault codes? need bit more info. cheers

My auto in my PJ ranger is due for a change, I was told to check the oil level with the transmission in drive? Is that right?
hi, check in park with hand brake on. cheers
Would you have any recommendations on the best people to take my car to to get this done?
hi, sorry for delay in reply, we just got back last monday. any transmission specialist should be able to do it. cheers
Hey mate have a fg falcon with 5 speed and sometimes has a delayed engagement after putting in drive, any advice?
hi, filter service, band adjustment and can be contaminated and/or leaking solenoids in solenoid block. cheers
Great tips!! Buy you a beer.
hi, always well received ! and keeps us motivated. cheers ;-)
@@YepThatsIt i do diy vids on youtube. Just bought 2 06 4x4 ford explorers 400 each
Trying to figure out why they dont engage
@@themobilecardr.8858 hi, i`d need more info?...and is it the 5r55w trans? cheers
@@YepThatsIt one was driving just fine. After parking..outta nowhere..not engage
@@themobilecardr.8858 can you contact me on facebook link and tell me what its doing in other gears and when manually selected..., incase we need to exchange pics, vids...we can do it on there. cheers
Thanks
cheers
hey mate i just brought a fg falcon 5 speed auto when i put it into drive or reverse the car will not move have you got any idea why
hi, i`d need alot more info. check all basics first, then check band adjustments, any fault codes etc cheers
@@YepThatsIt the only codes that come up is a comms fault and it says its not in park when it is.

Hello. How often should the belts be adjusted?
hi, if you do a regular trans service - we do band adjustment every 2nd service or if unknown we just adjust them. sometimes people decide to do their own version of adjustment to either take up the band apply time or to extend it. all depends on the person, motor, weight and condition of the vehicle. a quarter turn either way from the recommended wont do any harm on these transmissions if there is enough lining. keeping the bands adjusted properly allows lining to wear evenly and in doing so wont cause pressure on the servo apply rod to wear out the case as quickly and also the band tips wont wear out as they can if way too loosely adjusted. cheers
@@YepThatsIt спасибо большое.
Do I need to adjust the OD
hi, always good practice to adjust both bands every 2nd service. cheers
What happens if band is too tight or not tightened enough?
hi, if too tight may wear out prematurely, if too loose the tips of band can wear out or the band will wear out unevenly causing metal to meal contact with drum. also the shift timing can be affected. cheers
@@YepThatsIt so I built over the transmission drove it for about two miles then it started to slip. But the reverse is fine, any suggestions
Someone needs to do a video on replacing trans bands on a 5r55 trans for a 2006 ford explorer
hi, will do when time permits. cheers
I change the solenoid and still the OD flashing and 3 gear slip again and engine light on
hi, was it a new solenoid block? did you purge air out of it ? for more tech questions contact us via facebook link in description and bring some beers. cheers
So just to confirm, there is no way to replace just one solenoid, only all of them which are all in one “block”?
hi, it is possible, but unless you have correct tools you will muck it up. the linear solenoids need to be calibrated as well. cheers
@@YepThatsIt do the linear solenoids need to be calibrated when installing the whole block? Or do they only need calibration if you’re replacing individual solenoids?
@@MustangGuy1996 we calibrate when block is assembled. then when you install block you may need to perform trans relearn/readapt so pcm knows you have repaired/changed solenoids block. make sure you purge the air out of block before you install it or you will have very hard shifts until air is purged out. if you have more questions you will need to contact me on facebook link and supply some beers. cheers
g'day mate, how the hell did you fit a torque wrench in there haha
hi, can be tricky do do on some transmissions. cheers
Wanted to ask could I swap my tranny 5r55s with a 5r55ws
hi, as long as bellhousing bolt holes, the shafts and electrical plugs are same. depends what it was out of? cheers
Just tell me how to adjust the bands
hi, check out our 5r55s/w playlist, should be in there. cheers
