The 5R55E transmission wasn't used until the ( 1997 ) Ford Explorer , it is an electronically controlled transmission so there are no vacuum hoses

Yes it will fit correctly.
A 1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer has the 5R55E automatic transmission with the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine , and the 4R70W automatic transmission with the 5.0 liter V8 engine
according to motorcraft.com it lists ( 5R55E ) ( 5R55W ) ( 5R55S ) automatic transmissions for the 2002 Ford Explorer 4 door models
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 "bolt-up ". That does not mean "interchangable". Hope this helps ST
