Specifications

The Ford Motor 5R55S transmission is a 5-speed automatic transmission that is fully controlled by electronics and commonly used in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles like the Ford Explorer and Ford Mustang. It is designed to deliver a good balance of performance, fuel efficiency, and durability. One of its main advantages is its β€œsynchronous” design, which allows smoother gear shifts by removing some internal parts found in older versions like the 5R55N transmission, making it more reliable for everyday driving.Β 

The transmission is built with a lightweight aluminum case that helps reduce weight and improve cooling. It typically weighs between 150 and 208 pounds and includes an overdrive feature to improve fuel economy while maintaining good acceleration. In standard form, it can handle about 350 lb-ft of torque, but upgraded versions can support much higher power, up to around 600 lb-ft. With its advanced electronic control system, the 5R55S adjusts shifting based on driving conditions, making it a dependable choice for daily use and moderate performance applications.
