5R55E automatic transmission

For that year, it should be the 5R55E.
5r55e
I believe that is the 5R55E
The 5R55E transmission wasn't used until the ( 1997 ) ford Explorer , it is an electronically controlled transmission so there are no vacuum hoses In a 1996 Ford Explorer , with the V6 , the 4 speed electronically controlled 4R55E transmission was used , it also doesn't use vacuum hoses
If you have a 95-96 Explorer, you have the 4R tranny. 97-01 will be the 5R.
If you open the drivers door there should be an information sticker on the latch pillar Under " TR "or " TRANS " , I believe code " D " is the 5R55E and code " T " is the 4R55E
Yes it will fit correctly.
It is possible, but not easy. Both transmissions bolt right up to the 4.0L Cologne 60 degree V-6, and are virtually identical in size. The A4LD is a hydraulically-controlled transmission (mostly), and the 5R55E is fully electronic. So you need to get the controls for the 5R55E in there somehow. Some have swapped computers from the 5R55E truck, but there are some sensors in the rest of the truck that are different, so you will get some PCM errors. Some have created hybrid harnesses, and used both computers to control things. There are also aftermarket controllers ($$$). Google and read the Ranger and Explorer forums.
Short answer NO. Long answer YES. The 5R55E transmission is the exact dimensions as the 4R55E transmission. 5R is a 5 speed, and 4R is a 4 speed. Though, as long as you don't swap the PCM on your Ford, it will stay a 4 speed.There are solenoids and sensors that are not the same, including the TCC (torque converter clutch) and a couple other things.If you are ready for your truck to be down a while, go for it.
