5R55N

The 5-speed automatic transmission 5R55N (5R55W, 5R55S) was released in 2000 and found application in Ford Explorer and THUNDERBIRD. Besides Ford and Lincoln, it was installed on Mazda pickup trucks in Asia and on Jaguar S-type (for 2 years). In 2002, the problematic 5R55N was replaced by a new sub-modification 5R55W, and in 2003 the 5R55S was released with some updates. This transmission is installed on RWD and 4WD vehicles with quite powerful engines (from 3 up to 5 liters). In terms of design, this transmission belongs to the 4R44 - 4R55E family .
