5R55N [99-UP] Automatic Transmission Rear Band Rigid S Double Wrap

A failed or glazed rear band is one of the more direct causes of second-gear slip and harsh downshifts in 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N automatic transmission units, and swapping it for a properly relined band is a straightforward fix when you have the right part on hand. What sets this band apart from a standard replacement is its double-wrap, rigid construction with 1.840 in. wide strapping, which gives the servo a broader contact surface and keeps the band from distorting under the clamping loads these units generate during operation.

This is a single-piece item: one relined rear band, rigid body, double-wrap configuration, 1.840 in. strapping width, shipped at 1.1 lb. There are no clutch packs, steels, Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, or seals included in this listing. If your job calls for those components, they need to be sourced separately.

The band covers 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N transmissions built from 1999 forward. Before placing the order, pull the transmission code directly from the unit and cross it against those three designations. The 5R55 family includes variants that differ internally, and fitting a band from the wrong variant creates problems at installation. Weight is 1.1 lb, which is consistent with a complete relined band ready to go in.

REMCO has been working in automatic transmission parts since 1991. Each piece is handled individually when packed and checked against its item record before it ships. A part list is included in the box.

• Replacing a worn rear band with a freshly relined unit avoids slippage and delayed engagement that lead to deeper transmission damage down the line.
• This listing is for one band only. It does not include any clutch packs, steels, Automatic Transmission Filter, seals, or gaskets. Verify your full parts list before ordering to avoid a return trip.
• The double-wrap design with 1.840 in. wide rigid strapping distributes clamping load across a wider surface area compared to a standard single-wrap band, reducing the chance of distortion under high servo pressure.
• One relined rear band, rigid construction, double-wrap configuration, 1.840 in. wide strapping material, weighing 1.1 lb. No additional hardware included.
• Before ordering, confirm the exact transmission code on the unit: this band fits 5R55W, 5R55S, and 5R55N applications from 1999 forward. Codes vary and the wrong band will not seat correctly.
