2007 Kia Sedona transmission removal, replace torque converter [COMPLEX]

[@josephborso9866]

I've been a mechanic since 1975. Just a great video, your demeanor straight forward and logical approach was outstanding. Excellent work, job well done. Thank you very much

[@gsxrkerry]

that measurement you took for the the torque converter that was an inch saved me from messing up the oil pump on the transmission Thank You

[@mikethezipper]

Love the scream at the end - the feeling you get after all that hard work paying off - the best feeling ever.

[@docholiday5682]

I was just watching this video and laughing that he kept referring to the transaxle as a transfer case. I'm sure he knows the difference but in his mind somehow they got crisscrossed.

[@nicholasphillips3342]

I love my 07 sedona, but I hate the limited technical information out there available for it. your videos have been invaluable to me and I thank you sir

[@davow8]

Absolutely brilliant Scott. A real life vid of a real life problem. I couldn't stop watching! I recently did the head on my Kia Sorento diesel and have experienced those same frustrations and doubts; but also that amazing rush you get at the end when it all works. I am sure factory workshop notes are prepared in a lab far removed from the real workshop. They leave so much important info out, or assume you have all the hoist gear and special tools. Great to see a home garage workaround. Thanks to you... and your assistant.

[@bigdaddy741098]

davow8 I'm looking at buying a 2007 santa fe 2.2 diesel (very similar vehicle) that has a bad engine knock, probably due to lack of oil. I am having trouble finding any info on engine swaps or rebuild info anywhere. Are you a mechanic or did you find tutorial that helped you? Any info or resources that you could point me to would be much appreciated. Also what symptoms lead you to doing the head on your kia?

[@559043]

i stopped after step 1 .. opening the hood. Great work by you!

[@ep2653]

Excellent video gentlemen. 👍🏼👍🏼 Just wanted to add i have that exact H.F. trans jack. It worked like a charm for me. It was a bit slippery i agree. After completing a job like this, the feeling of satisfaction is priceless.

[@qweef69]

Great video. I bought the haynes manual and your video included allot more insight and detail about the process. For example the trans dip stick tube, steering column, and power steering are all absent in the book. Everything else is pretty much to the tee, however your starter removal method seems easier.

[@troysmith749]

Very thorough video. I'm experiencing the same shudder symptoms. Have replaced wheel bearings, pads, rotors, passenger CV Axle, cleaned up the carbon on intake valves, replaced pcv valve, camshaft position sensor (was leaking oil), plugs and coils. Still has a shudder. Went to dealer they said it's torque converter and cracking motor mounts on my 2012 Sorento EX. No codes thought it was a misfire so had diagnosed for that.

[@americanfreedom1]

Great video and information. I'm about to do one of these. My expertise is in rear wheel drive vehicles. When I install an automatic transmission I'll bolt the torque converter to the motor and position the two notches or flat spots at 3:00/9:00 positions. I'll will then align the pump tangs in the transmission at the same position. (20yrs no issues ever) at this point I'll get under the engine with transmission bolts on each side of me and I'll roll the transmission up on my stomach then pick it up an slide it on, it'll require a (little) lite right to left to right turning and it'll go right on. This is with 350 and 400 turbos mostly but have done it with ford 5r55s, 5r55w and the fmx transmissions. This way eliminates a big amount of weight due to the converter. I have a transmission jack but I can get it done way quicker the way I posted

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

Thank you for that information.

[@amanwholovesgod473]

one of the top 10 videos I've seen,very informative and professional.

[@toatiputoa7123]

Thanks for video mate.I have the same problem too but mine is a kia grand carnival same as a Sedona. Im doing it myself by watching your video...thanks heaps

[@janstaters8239]

Wow. Nice work. I have an 06 that has the same issue with 202k miles... I might.... try this...

[@Dally_Sparkles]

i'm going to attempt an engine swap a Kia grand Carnival... i was shit scared your video gives me a little more confidence that it might work.

[@kryspiw]

Very good video. I changed transmission in different car but I have used engine crane.I think it was easier to lover it down and bring it back.

[@motube2389]

Phenomenal job my friend, I've enjoyed every minute of this video

[@duse999]

WHAT WAS PROBLEM WITH UR SEDONA STUCK 3 GEAR OR WHAT

[@ravingjackal]

Awesome video guys. Where would one obtain torque specifications for all the fasteners from? I'm contemplating doing this on a Hyundai ix35 crdi

[@keysautorepair6038]

Just did this job 2 people 17 hours with good tools and lift.

[@abelardocruz74]

Very nice video but I would like to see if you could help me locate the sensors of the automatic transmission since mine is kicking me a lot.

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

On the side of the transmission there is a Black cover pan. Inside that pan are the actuators for the transmission gear selector and some circuit boards and pressure sensors. I am not an automatic transmission expert so you really need to ask Elsewhere for more detailed information.

[@thermos750]

Great video so far. Might be attempting to do it on my 2012 kia sedona....

[@keysautorepair6038]

Do you know how many hours of labor it took you to get it done.

[@pullbackbaby]

Has anybody ever changed internal bearings only? I have a constant rumble and wonder exactly how hard it would be to only change bearings that effect rumbling when car is in drive or neutral rolling. I changed both hubs and the carrier. Not sure anymore what to do other than a swap. Any hints would be appreciated.

[@CoolerMasterStorm]

excellent video... many thanks... how much do you charge for this repair including the parts ?

[@CoolerMasterStorm]

@@themarginalmechanic5928 I'm too far from you... but thanks for the offer...

[@dougscott2408]

Looking forward I have 240,000 on mine... you may want to replace the catalytic converters and get those exhaust out of the way while you do this job... I'm replacing o2 sensors currently - hoping that is the problem and not the catalytic converters- but doubtful

[@Eric-fs3cc]

Fantastic video, good work!

[@kwv217]

Do you have torque specs do the bell housing and torque converter

[@mikefennema5561]

Zip ties don't provide 360 degree clamping. If you look closley there is always a gap under the buckle.

[@adventures223]

Is this pretty much the same as a 2008 kia optima

[@okdude1720]

I am glad I've never had a bad torque converter!! Good video.

[@hd221813]

Technically speaking, is it possible that an overheated torque converter can damage a rear crankshaft oil seal?

[@rolesx33]

Tengo una Kia Sedona, dejo de funcionar la reversa crees que sea lo mismo de el vídeo??? Help me please soy de México

[@emmanuelcarrion5168]

Thank you for the video ! I have a question. Do you know which transmission oil line on top of the transmission under the battery tray is the return line ?

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

I don’t know which one is the return line off the top of my head. It’s easy to find out though. You can look it up at kiatech.com or you can just unplug one of the lines while it’s running Determine the direction of flow.

[@emmanuelcarrion5168]

@@themarginalmechanic5928 okay thanks I wanted to know because I wanted to install a inline magnetic transmission filter. I've changed the fuild twice in a couple thousand miles and it's still dirty. So I am hoping this filter will do the job !

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

Watch my video on installing a transmission cooler on the Toyota Sienna minivan. In that video you can see how I determined the direction of flow

Hello, can you tell me if you remove the crankcase from the gearbox you can change the filter ?

[@jameybarisoff]

How about engine removal? Does it come out the top?

[@jessebane3695]

Yes. However, the hood, windshield wipers motors and the plastic shrouds need to come out. Replaced one last month. Not too bad actually.

[@itsyaboyandrew6597]

@@jessebane3695 any video or tips?

[@7205buttas]

I need to replace the solenoid and the speed sensors while I’m at it. Once I remove the air filter box and the tubes from the air filter is the front cover on the tranny be accessible? I just need to get off the cover and the solenoid and sensors are all right there. The mechanic I went to just threw on the computer didn’t even pop up the hood and said he would need to drop the whole tranny and it be a minimum of 1200 and I’m better off replacing it for 1500

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

You can get to the speed sensor with no problem. it's on the back side of the transmission. As for the solenoids just try taking the cover off. the worst case is you have to lower the engine cradle a little bit to get that access pan off.

[@ramrod7928]

How would I go about removing just the engine

[@macdon480]

I just bought a 07. With 188000KM (110000miles.ish) $3200CAD I'm happy so far..

Have to bring it the transmission shop seen online where there are rivets on the flexplate that come loose? And thanks for the reply

[@9002PETER]

Was it shooting any codes as a result of the bad conponent?

[@kristopherhasenbuhler5393]

Components don't throw codes. Units do! You only have two units unless it is a RWD,4wd, or an all wheel drive (Units) include Engines & Transmissions as well as transfer cases and rear differentials!!! "components" on the other include Starter Alternator water pump fuel pump AC compressor Power steering pump ext!

[@kristopherhasenbuhler5393]

In addition to that is not the unit itself that throws the codes it is the sensor attached to the unit for monitoring purposes that throw the codes!

[@stumpmtsr]

Is this noise the Torque converter? The van will drive a few minutes before it won't engage at all, forward or backwards. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGfLeYWubst3qck

[@jomarz1828]

I drop everything down trans and motor with the subframe ,, and roll it inside the garage, and service both ,may as well.. once I'm done with the transmission I service the engine and replace all that looks bad and the spark plugs of course ,then I just put it under the carriage and raise it and that's it... its a lot easier... seems like it isn't but it is....

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

I think you underestimate the effort required to disconnect everything on the engine side and the weight considerations. I would not do it that way unless you had a professional shop

[@themarginalmechanic5928]

Also you're probably doubling the amount of time it would take to do the job.
