2014 Ford Fusion transmission and filter replacement part 1

[@tobysirus4996]

Ive learned when a job looks impossibly hard,ask a lazy man how to do it. Thanks for the video !

[@whatsnextgarage]

Thanks for watching!! Hope it helped!

[@markbronson6724]

You said that right! When thing's go together really easy, there's definitely something wrong lol... I've learned that and if you don't have at least 2 or 3 bolts leftover after you're done, something is wrong. Lol...

[@bearsfan2085]

I always pull the oil pan now on these. Beats fighting the lack of space with the starter. Got one apart on an Escape right now.

[@whatsnextgarage]

Sure makes it easier for sure!! Happy holidays to you!!

[@jesseyking31]

I'm pulling the transmission on a 2014 fusion hybrid titanium. Any advice?

[@whatsnextgarage]

Pull the oil pan to access the flex plate bolts. Support the engine from the top with a transverse engine support. Should be good to go from there. Good luck and keep us posted how it goes for you!! Have a great upcoming holiday season

[@carllemke4622]

What I want to know is if it’s a sealed transmission I’m getting code P0 772 for shift solenoid stuck open. I’m wondering if I can replace the solenoid. If I have to replace the whole transmission it’s not slipping. It just doesn’t wanna go out of first gear sometimes.

[@whatsnextgarage]

I am not sure I am not that familiar with those transmissions

[@carllemke4622]

@@whatsnextgarage thank you so much I don’t really know them very well either. I just know it’s a 2.5 L engine non-turbo six speed automatic I believe it’s my first time ever dealing with this car. It’s a beautiful car but a headache nonetheless

[@cm1133]

Is there a way to install an inline serviceable transmission filter somewhere that you could easily replace the auxiliary inline transmission filter?

[@whatsnextgarage]

I imagine you could cut into the return or supply line to the radiator and install something.

[@Bleachanna]

you can get the converter nuts out through the starter hole, its pretty tricky though takes a lot of concentration

[@whatsnextgarage]

I am pretty bad at concentration🤦🤣

[@ZachElder]

Where did you have the rear hook hooked to the engine at? I can’t find anywhere to hook it to support the engine to undo the transmission mount

[@whatsnextgarage]

I think there is a motor lift point on the drivers side rear corner. I will verify tonight when I get home and let ya know

[@braydinjones6301]

Ford fusions in general are just a pain in the ass to work on. 😂

[@priestoftheunderworld]

You do a lot of transmissions??

[@whatsnextgarage]

Not newer model years. I can imagine they are all going that direction.

[@stevied5648]

Forgeeeet that!!! My little fusion with slip until it can’t slip no more!!! 😂😂😂

[@jammy46235]

Ford why would you make it to where you have to remove trans to just change filter 🥴🥴🫤🙄

[@MarcFaucher-ny7zj]

This makes a strong case for having a manual transmission. Any performance car should have one anyway.

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@MarcFaucher-ny7zj agreed!!

[@AlvaroRamos-dv4gh]

Eso no es necesario sacar el calter para saca la volanta

[@Charmedace1]

Is this a 6F35 Transmission?

[@whatsnextgarage]

Hi Glenn I believe it is. its been awhile since I did that one

[@Charmedace1]

@@whatsnextgarage just trying save money cause I have one ford escape 2017 1.5L and trying to understand what cause it slip while I was driving.

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@Charmedace1 slippage could be low oil level but if thats ok then it has to be the internal clutch packs

[@Charmedace1]

@@whatsnextgarage yeah I hope that's what it is thanks for taking time out to answering my questions I really appreciate and thank you!

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@Charmedace1 you're very welcome!! have a great rest of the week and have a great weekend. Good luck with that Ford!

[@redihoxha2940]

Was any issues with shifting before changing the filter?

[@whatsnextgarage]

I don’t know. I changed the filter on the replacement transmission only because it was a junkyard unit and it was out of the vehicle.

[@redihoxha2940]

@@whatsnextgarage i understand, I had yesterday a blow when gear changes and then service mode. Now when I put on gear ia again is a harsh

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@redihoxha2940 you could try a drain and refill but it sounds like there may be some internal damage.

[@redihoxha2940]

@@whatsnextgarage I've drained the oil before 500km. Maybe I haven't taken off all the excess new oil from the level pan...

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@redihoxha2940 sounds like there must be internal damage. If you’ve done the oil already the little residual that doesn’t drain won’t make that much difference. Sounds like it may be a bad transmission.

[@anothey93]

Was it actually slipping or did it just have the standard 6F35 issues? 2-3 shift delay, 1-2 premature shift, etc. there’s no fix for those issues it’s just a design flaw.

[@whatsnextgarage]

This one was slipping pretty good. It was also making grinding noises. I never tore the trans apart I just sent the core back. However after that Fusion, I had a couple more since and they actually had the issues you explained. Both of those customers took them to the dealer to diagnose because I wasn’t that familiar with why those transmissions were slipping. I guess that’s the new way of building cars, seal everything up and don’t let anyone but dealers service them🤷‍♂️

[@markbronson6724]

Instead of removing the starter, why not just turn the engine over via the crank shaft from the front with a socket and big enough 1/2 inch breaker bar? And just hit it one at a time from the under side where you removed the oil pan?

[@whatsnextgarage]

I was still under the old thought that the starter has to come off to get the flex plate bolts off. definitely will turn the crank over on the next one that comes through

[@whatsnextgarage]

The starter is held on with bolts that also hold the transmission. I forgot that’s why the starter has to come out. 👍👍

[@jaketroy8437]

FYI you get the converter nuts in the starter hole 🤣if memory serves me pull the starter and the rubber grommet in the lower left

[@whatsnextgarage]

Yup it was that dang rubber boot that I didn’t see. 😆🤦

[@westbergcomedy]

I bought a transmission filter... after seeing this, NOPE... I'm returning it.

[@whatsnextgarage]

I sure do miss the old days when we could service our cars on our own!!

[@jacobbonilla1247]

Lmao... exactly what I said when I saw that you have to take the whole dang thing apart... geezus.

[@rafaelchavez5489]

Thanks for share

[@leeexantus5126]

Thank you for sharing 😂

[@ariass9345]

My 2015 fusion has been dealing with really hard shifting while driving. It’s been like that for years now and I hate it. It’s a beautiful car but just hate the tranny

[@whatsnextgarage]

That sucks! They are really nice cars!

[@markbronson6724]

If anyone believes a filter never has to be changed, I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale. Just ask if interested.

[@whatsnextgarage]

Heck yea!! I have lost all faith when we are told that a transmission filter never needs to be serviced!

[@SA_Rocket]

buying a ford fusion 2016 is the worst decision I've made in my life

[@whatsnextgarage]

@@SA_Rocket nah, they aren’t that bad.

[@Black-N-Toasty]

Wow....I bet you struggled just to change the transmission filter.. video should be longer than 15 minutes...🤦

[@whatsnextgarage]

There is a part 2. Is was a struggle
