Jasper Engines & Transmissions incorporates a procedure to fill the Ford 5R55N/S/W transmissions with the correct level of fluid. Though the 5R55N, S and W are all similar in design, they each differ in specific areas based on the needs of the transmission’s intended application. However, a common feature is the lack of a dipstick to check fluid levels. The 5R55N/S/W is intended to hold 12 quarts of transmission fluid. Inside the pan is a tube which determines the level of fluid. As the pan is filled, the fluid level will reach the top of the tube, then drip down the tube and out of the pan. JASPER attaches a bright orange sticker on the pan of each 5R55N/S/W. This will remind technicians the transmission holds 12 quarts of fluid.Also provided with the transmission is a Technical Bulletin explaining the procedure to properly fill the transmission.
