Alright, let's talk about this transmission band. If you're dealing with a slipping or rough-shifting automatic transmission in your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury from 1999 onwards, this rigid rear double-wrap band might be exactly what you need. Specifically designed for the 5R55N transmission (the 'WS' denotes a specific internal configuration), this band is 1.840 inches wide and has been professionally relined for durability and proper friction. It's not some generic part – it's made to match the original specs for a direct replacement. We're talking about vehicles like the Ford Explorer (2002-2010), Explorer Sport Trac, Mustang (2005-2010), Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln LS, and even some Jaguar S-Type and XK models from the early 2000s. The key here is compatibility. The part number is CBD-56520J, and it replaces OEM numbers like the ones you might pull off your old part. Before you buy, please, please double-check your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and engine size (like 4.0L V6 or 4.6L V8) against our fitment list. This band is a core component inside the transmission – it's what helps clutch the gears. Installing it requires transmission disassembly, so it's a job for experienced DIY mechanics or a trusted transmission shop. The kit includes just the one band. Remember, for international orders, buyers are responsible for any import duties or taxes. We stand by the quality of our REMCO rebuild components, which use industry-leading OEM-grade materials. Returns are accepted only if the original packaging is unopened. If your ride's acting up and the diagnosis points to a worn band, this is a solid, spec-correct part to get it shifting smoothly again.
