5R44E Solenoid Kit 1995, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 5R44E. Ships fast from the USA.
Older Ford Rangers and Mazda B-Series pickups with the small rear-drive automatic tend to show the same failure pattern as they age: the truck stays in one gear, the engagement into Drive gets rough, and the scan tool reports a solenoid or lockup fault. This remanufactured 5R44E solenoid kit, listed from 1995, puts six fresh solenoids into the valve body at once. On a truck this age every original coil has seen the same heat and fluid, so a full set is the sensible way to fix it once.
Ford's 4R44E and 4R55E four-speeds came first, and the 5R44E and 5R55E five-speeds were built from the same design, sharing the valve body layout. The PCM is in charge of every gear change. It energizes and de-energizes the shift solenoids to route oil to the shift valves, varies current to the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid to set line pressure through the boost valve, and pulses the converter clutch solenoid to lock the torque converter at cruise. A single solenoid that sticks open or closed leaves the PCM unable to reach one gear, and an EPC solenoid that has drifted makes shift quality wrong in every gear, not just one.
On a truck from the mid-1990s, wiring is as likely a culprit as the solenoids. Inspect the harness along the transmission for chafing, check the case connector for fluid inside the pins, and measure each solenoid circuit at the connector against the factory specification. A line pressure gauge during a road test tells you whether the EPC side is doing its job. If circuits test good but the problem remains, worn valve body bores are next on the list, and Sonnax publishes a vacuum test guide for exactly this family. Our 5R55 harsh and delayed shift guide lays out the diagnostic order.
This kit is listed for the 5R44E starting with 1995. Be aware that trucks from the mid-1990s were built with both the four-speed 4R44E or 4R55E and the five-speed units depending on year and engine, so the year alone does not tell you which transmission you have. Read the identification tag on the case, count the gears on a drive, and lay each old solenoid next to the matching new one to confirm the body, O-rings and connector are the same before anything goes in. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN before ordering. If the valve body itself is worn, a complete 5R55E valve body may be the better buy. Every part we carry for this family is listed on the 5R55 transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Only if the truck has the five-speed unit this kit is made for. Mid-1990s Rangers were also built with four-speed automatics, so check the case tag and compare your old solenoids with the new ones, or send us your VIN.
The listing photo shows six solenoids: the shift solenoids plus the pressure control and lockup solenoids. The valve body and harness are not included.
On a truck this old, if the harness insulation is brittle, cracked or oil-soaked, replace it while the pan is off. A bad harness sets the same codes as a bad solenoid.
Mercon V. Set the level with the engine running and the fluid at operating temperature.
Only if low line pressure from a weak EPC solenoid is the cause. If the frictions or bands are worn, the transmission needs an overhaul and solenoids will not cure it.
