Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 explorer sport-trac automatic transmission went bad at 49,600 miles. transmission mechanic said that the 4r55e and 5r55e transmissions are notorious for having faulty valve bodies which causes the clutches to burn up. my truck has always been maintained properly. never raced or towed heavy loads. just a daily commuter vehicle. there is no reason this transmission should have failed this early.*ak
