Description
No top cover is the quickest way to tell this M5R4 apart on the bench — the shifter mounts in the tail instead, and the case is all aluminum. It is listed for Ford 2002-2003 Explorer, 4 Door, in 2WD. Five tag numbers apply: 1L24-AB, 1L24-AC, 1L24-AD, 1L24-AE and 1L24-AF. Three Hollander numbers are published as well, 400-03946A, 400-03946B and 400-03946C, so compare your tag before ordering rather than relying on the model year.

- New or Re-machined Parts – Gear wear is checked and worn gears are replaced. Mainshaft straightness is tested and replaced if needed. Clutch disc synchronizers, selector fork, and flywheel are re-machined or replaced as needed.
- Dyno Testing – Our custom dyno testing machines spin and load test every transmission to verify it’s ready for the road.
