INTRODUCTION
FORD 4R44E/4R55E
The Ford 4R44E/4R55E is a fully electronic controlled, four speed, rear wheel drive transmission. At first
glance it resembles the familiar A4LD transmission. The shift timing, shift feel, line pressure and TCC are all
computer controlled in the 4R44E/4R55E transmissions. There are three compound planetary gearsets, three
bands, three multi-disc clutch packs and two one-way freewheel assemblies.
This manual covers the procedures necessary for inspection, teardown and assembly to properly diagnos,
repair and overhaul this transmission, along with the basic Diagnostic Trouble Codes. The ATSG PASS books
cover the diagnosing of the electronic controls.
