4R75W 4R75E 4R70W TRANSMISSION (COMPLETE TEAR DOWN AND REBUILD/WITH UPGRADES) PART 1

This is a comprehensive look at this transmission. If you build your transmission similar to this video, then you should have a pretty good unit!

[@BIGSTANK1983]

I can't afford to buy new or even used or remanufactured so I'm about to try to rebuild my transmission in my expedition. I'm very thankful for this video and wish me luck.

[@finestmobiledetailing]

How’s it going

[@BIGSTANK1983]

@@VagrantLoafer I'm still creeping around in 1st and 2nd. My wife got sick and was in the hospital for a while with a chest tube. Money got pretty tight but I just about have my head above water so I'm actually planning on next week either trying to get a used one or doing the rebuild. I'm honestly kinda afraid about just trying the rebuild if I phuck up it might be the card that brings the house down. Sorry for the long winded update. Thanks for checking in tho

[@wendellgreenidge3362]

Did you really say try??? Lol how did it turn out?

[@raulmarquez2023]

It's actually harder than it looks. I tried it on my Obs Chevy 4l60e ...it took me a week but I did get it! Now I got a 2002 mustang gt now I want to learn this tranny to see if I can tackle this one too. Good luck 🤞..

mine slammed to a stop while reversing into a parking space, now I have a light scraping noise in first that goes away if I override it into second. Any ideas? Where does the parking pawl engage? Would that have damaged first?

Great video!! Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your step-by-step video with all of the upgrade tips. I have been a technician for 35 years, but I don’t typically rebuild my own transmissions. This video was awesome and my transmission in this 2008 F150 shifts like new.

Please use gloves. I doubt dirty ATF is very good to have absorbing into your skin. Doesn't smell good either.

[@thisisyourtransmission]

You are right. I try

[@fldave612]

By the way that is a nifty jig you have holding the tranny to your bench that allows you to spin it around.

[@UQRXD]

The servo clip and spring were made to brake. Great audio I felt like I was right n the shop. I always found you can tell a lot about a person's driving habits when rebuilding the transmission.

[@fldave612]

20:03 They may not look bad at that moment or as you say "rarely go bad", same thing with the bands 20:45, but since you have it all torn apart might as well replace them regardless, imagine going through all that work of that rebuild and reuse those parts only to have them fail 6 months later and then have to tear it all back down again, that would be a sad day! This is one type of job that I would highly advise a customer not to be cheap about, nor would it be ethical for a reputable shop to do poor workmanship like that, unless they have little pride in their work and/or only giving a very short or no warranty at all.

[@kkuenzel56]

You've got the same OTC trans holding fixture I used on the AOD- 4R70W for years. You should get a set of slide hammers for pulling the pump from the case though.

My trans neutrals going into 4th but ONLY when it gets hot? If/when it does go into 4th it'll Rev a little bit then engage. But even if I drive just a couple miles in city traffic that's enough to make it too hot to shift into 4th

Excellent video! My 2013 Expedition has the 4R70W. Currently at 204k and it shifts very smooth considering age and mileage. It's recently developed a chatter while accelerating in overdrive between 40-50 mph. No othere drivablity issues. I've read that the torque convertor clutches may be bad. Also seen a video where a shift kit resolved the issue. Any guidance for repairing this issue would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@thisisyourtransmission]

Never used a shift kit to solve any issue in this transmission. However, I just rebuild the transmission with certain modifications.

[@thisisliving4261]

Where are you guys located? Can a 4r70w be built to handle 500 at the wheel horsepower?

[@thisisyourtransmission]

I believe it can be built to handle that power with the right parts. However, this would be a job for a supershop. I do not do high performance builds at the moment.

[@dillardjustin]

Still around for a reply? Do I need to remove the pan and valve body to swap a sunshell? Got an old version and want to use my newer bad trans for the upgraded components

[@thisisyourtransmission]

Hmm, I don't think that you do if you can get the overdrive band out of the way. I can get it out of the way, however, it may take you some time to do it. If you cannot, then you will have to remove the valve body and remove the overdrive servo to get the band out.

On the very first two seconds of the video, if you look at the right side of the transmission you can see that there's like a circle cap to it ..im missing that on my truck and im wondering if anyone knows the part?

[@selfaware9266]

If you speak of the circle on the bottom of the bellbousing, older versions had a drain plug in the torque converter and a rubber plug in the bellbousing to access it.

You need the lip seal tool kit, if you want to install the seal easy. You need the servo tool that presses the servos. This is an old tool. You may not find this around anymore. May have to try to make one.

I just rebuild one after everything installed will it be hard to turn do to the bands?

no, the input shaft should not be hard to turn. if the input shaft is hard to turn, then something is not seated right in the transmission. You will have to disassemble and reassemble the transmission.

Great video! I have a 98 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 RWD with transmission issues. It will shift into reverse only when it’s cold started, and also while driving after I reach 20-25mph it seems like it slows down on its own then jerks and revs itself back up to speed. Any idea what it could be?

[@JuanHernandez-ub3ez]

sounds like engine problem

[@alexiafinley3827]

Update: it’s a. 97 Moutaineer not 98. Ended up replacing whole transmission with a 2001 4r70w and now it’s throwing code (P0750 Solenoid A), Did some research and found out the 98 and newer years are more electronic and the harness pins are located in different spots. Would repining solve this issue, or is it better to change the entire internal Harness of the tranny! Is there anything else needed such as speed sensors, pcm, etc?

1) bad shift solenoids 2) check the overdrive servo snap ring. if it is broken a piece of it normally is in the valvebody sticking a valve. 3) direct clutch drum splines can be stripped.
