A4LD 4R44E 5R55W [85-UP] Automatic Transmission Front Band S Flex Red

When you need a flex servo band for intermediate and overdrive positions in a 5R55W, 5R55S, 5R55N, or 4R44E automatic transmission, this red flex band is the direct part to reach for. What sets it apart from a generic band is the dual-position application: one part number handles both intermediate and overdrive, which matters when you are sourcing parts for a rebuild and want to keep the job moving.

This is a single-piece part, not a kit. There are no friction discs, no steel reaction plates, no Automatic Transmission Filter, no gaskets, and no solenoids included. If your rebuild requires those components, they need to be sourced separately. Checking your full parts list before placing the order will save time on both ends.

The red flex construction allows the band to deflect slightly under servo pressure, which promotes even contact across the drum surface. That even seating matters during initial application and through the service life of the band. The part weighs 1 lb, which is consistent with the band dimensions used across the 5R55 and 4R44E family.

Application covers units built from 1985 forward, spanning the A4LD platform and its successor transmissions through the 5R55 series. Before ordering, locate the transmission identification tag or casting code on your unit and confirm it reads 5R55W, 5R55S, 5R55N, or 4R44E. Year of manufacture and engine family can affect which variant of the unit is installed, so cross-reference both before purchasing. REMCO has been working in automatic transmission parts since 1991, and every part that ships is checked against its part record before it goes out.

• A4LD automatic transmission: skip the hunt for the right band: this single red flex servo band covers both intermediate and overdrive positions in 5R55W, 5R55S, 5R55N, and 4R44E units, so one part handles two jobs.
• This listing is a single band only. It does not include friction discs, steel plates, Automatic Transmission Filter, gaskets, or solenoids. Verify your full parts list before ordering to avoid a return trip.
• The red flex design allows controlled deflection under load, which helps the band seat evenly against the drum surface and reduces the risk of uneven wear across the friction face.
• One red flex servo band, intermediate and overdrive application, 1 lb shipping weight. Each unit is individually checked against its part record before it leaves the bench.
• Before ordering, confirm the transmission code stamped on your unit matches 5R55W, 5R55S, 5R55N, or 4R44E, and verify the model year falls within the 1985-and-up application range.
