What is the horsepower rating of the 5R44E?
The horsepower and torque rating of the 5R44E is around 250 hp and 300 pounds per foot. This is not a great option if you’re planning any kind of heavy-duty towing, but it's historically reliable at keeping up with lighter hauls.
What kind of transmission fluid and how much fluid does a 5R44E take?
The recommended fluid for the 5R44E is Motorcraft Mercon multi-purpose automation transmission fluid, but you can also use an equivalent fluid for these transmissions (e.g., Castrol Transmax Mercon V, Valvoline MaxLife, etc.). Ensure fluid levels are checked when the transmission fluid is cold. The total fill capacity is 9.9 quarts.
What vehicles have the 5R44E transmission?
The transmission was seen in the Ford Ranger from 1997 to 2011, the Ford Explorer from 1998 to 2010, the Ford Aerostar in 1998, the Scorpio in 1998, and the Mazda B-series from 1998 to 2001.

The 5R44E can last for up to 200,000 miles when properly maintained. When you purchase a used or remanufactured transmission from Reman-Transmission, you’re purchasing a transmission that is made from parts that are all free from factory defects.
What is the difference between the 5R44E and 5R55E?
If you're comparing the 5R44E vs 5R55E, the main difference is the torque rating. The 5R55E is more suitable for heavier loads and more powerful engines, thanks to its larger torque converter and stronger clutches.
5R44E History & Information
The 5-speed automatic transmission was originally designed and made by Ford Motor Company. First introduced in 1997 to replace the 4R44E, the transmission was an upgrade from the 5R44E yet still lighter than the 5R55E (which was seen in the Ranger, Mustang, and Aerostar, among others). When used with a smaller engine, the 5R44E performed better than its predecessor. It also featured an extra forward gear, more precise computer controls, and more sophisticated shift ability. The result was less friction during acceleration and more savings at the fuel pump. The 5R44E mainly came behind the 3.0-liter Vulcan engine.
Also called 5R44, the transmission was first used in the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series pickup in 1998. There were slight modifications made for different vehicles, though, for the most part, the 5R44E had a little variation from year to year. It was discontinued in 2011 and succeeded by the 5R55E, 5R55N, 5R55S, and 5R55W. The 5R44E enjoyed a solid run because it was both reliable and durable, even if it’s often overshadowed by the 5R55E in the car world.
Seen in two-wheel drive vehicles, 4x4s, and 4x2s, its compact build made it a good choice for buyers who wanted to conserve their budget while still enjoying reliable performance. (It’s worth noting that the only difference between the 4x2 and 4x4 transmissions is the valve body.) When compared to transmissions like the 4R70W, it can handle more torque and is more powerful on the road. The most common issues with the 5R44E included hard shifting, overheating, and leaks, though, on the plus side, it’s also less complex to rebuild or repair than many of its direct competitors.
The lifespan of a 5R44E transmission for sale will depend on how often the transmission fluid and filters are changed, as well as the pressure put on the vehicle. The harder you accelerate and the more overloaded the transmission, the more likely it is to wear out or overheat. The best way to extend its life is to service it around 30,000 miles or so (more if you regularly tow with it or drive it in difficult conditions). A reputable mechanic can help you get a better idea of how your car is responding to the daily pressures it's under.
