The tranny can be fixed. http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/forum/showthread.php?80761-5R55-Repairs The AC is probably a bad fill valve.

Wow. That video is overkill. You just need to replace the servos. There's no reason to sleeve.

I'm not aware of the fix. I used the first revision and I'm going strong after 50k. I do not think the rev issue you're seeing, Joe, is related to the servos. However, this is the internet and there are armies of people willing to tell me I'm wrong. My first thought is the spring in the valve...

^Yep. Been there, done that: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=80761

It's the solenoid. http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=80761

Use smaller pics.

I'm out. :( Too many responsibilities growing in Cincinnati. :)

Whoops. Solenoid only should be close to $1000. The part from a dealer is going to be $400 and another $100 in fluid - $500 is too low.

Here you go: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=80761 Expect north of $2500 from a dealer.

Do you need a V6 trans?

Pics or it didn't happen. And I've gotten to be quite good at diagnosing 5r55's over the internet; the friction lines are bullet-proof.

The trans did not need to be replaced and the problems that you had with your original will return with this one. Only the solenoid problem was fixed; a $300 part. The servos and spring are just as weak as they ever were.
