So I rebuilt my transmission valve body today
Let me tell you… The things I do to save a buck.. lol…
Quick back story:
I kept receiving a P0745 = Pressure Control Solenoid Malfunction code, and the car was getting the shakes around 35-45 mph, ie I was losing 3 gear!..
Apparently this is common problem with the ford 5r55n trans, the shops will all recommend it time to replace the trans @ $3,000+/- .. WRONG!.. It’s just time to spend $7.50 on a new 4-3 “prestroke valve spring and about 5 -6hrs of labor..
So this is how I did it, for what its worth.. Yes / note.. This was my first time doing anything like this, but considering the cars runs fine now, I’m calling it a huge success for the average Joe..
So sit back, light em if you got them.. Ladies and Gentlemen of INGO, I present to you the DIY on rebuilding your Valve body, linkpimp style.. ie through horrible grammar and but nice bight Pics..
Raise the car and support all side with jack stands
Remove the positive cable from the battery, Drain the trans fluid, remove the oxygen sensor connector block and disconnect the Sensor. Once that has been completed you can now remove the trans pan.
Now it should look something like this, remove the filter, it just 3 screws.. you can do it…
WOW / Holly poop link!, now what?? Well let me tell you.. hahahahaa sorry..
Ok, here is the bottom of the VB looking up with the filter removed, now we need to remove the following components:

Ok, here is the bottom of the VB looking up with the filter removed, now we need to remove the following components:

- Reverse servo
- Solenoid body
- Valve body plate and gasket
- Control body Separator plate
- Remove the remainder of the bolts and drop the valve body
