Master overhaul kit for the Ford 5R55W and 5R55S five-speed: clutch frictions, bands, filter, bushings, and a full gasket and seal set for 2002-2008.
This is a full rebuild kit for the Ford 5R55W and 5R55S five-speed automatic, the rear-wheel-drive unit Ford ran from 2002 through 2008. The 5R55W (wide-ratio) shows up behind the Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Ranger and Lincoln Aviator, while the 5R55S (synchronous, solenoid-controlled) sits behind the Mustang, Lincoln LS and Thunderbird. One kit covers both variants.
The kit brings the wear parts a rebuild actually needs: the clutch friction plates, the front and intermediate bands, the filter, the bushings, and a complete gasket and seal set. Manufacturer part references on this kit include 56001B, 56320, 56710K and RCP-139, so it lines up with the standard overhaul and Raybestos friction numbers a builder already knows.
These units are known for band and servo wear that turns up as a slipping or flaring 1-2 and 2-3 shift, a soft overdrive, or a delayed engagement into reverse. With the case split on the bench, this kit replaces every soft part in one pass so you are not chasing a second leak after the unit goes back in. Pull and inspect the servo bores and the solenoid pack while you are in there, since those are the usual repeat offenders on this family.
