[@davidhickin4584]

I just did this. This is a great guide, but I'd like to add a few tips. I would add that at least for a 2010 V6, you do NOT need to remove the exhaust. We removed the O2 sensors only, and had no clearance issues. Driveshaft bolts (12mm, 12 point) are typically installed with locktite red, which must be heated to release. Butane torches are warranted for driveshaft bolts. Once heated, they release easily. I also did not disconnect the starter wiring. It can be tucked up into the suspension until you're ready to reinstall. The hydraulic clip can be tricky. Pic tools are the best way to go. It removes toward the driver's door. Put your finger on it and press against the pick, or it will likely go flying across the garage once it releases (ask me how I know). We had a hard time getting the new hydraulic line to come out far enough to recoup the hydraulic line on. Ended up grabbing it with pliers and pulling it through farther (careful with the O ring). That proved effective. Be very careful with the shifter bolts. They are cheap pot metal and shear easily. Always use penetrating oil first. That linkage is no longer made and is expensive if you can find it on Ebay. Note nearly every bolt is metric EXCEPT the flywheel bolts. They are 3/8". If you try to use a 10mm, you'll likely strip it (one of the few mistakes I didn't make).

I only stopped on this 'Mustang' video because the end of this engine is EXACTLY the same as my '06 Expedition 5.4. You could add "2006 Ford Expedition 5.4" to your video so it will show when someone searches for this for their Expedition. Thank you.

I’m doing my clutch right now and you just saved me a couple hours more worth of work. I’ve always thought the transmission should be flush with the engine before installing the transmission bolts. But I guess the 3v has a gap due to the throw out bearing being a hydronic one

[@jonhertzler8078]

Thanks for this video. I would not have been able to do this repair without it. Just back from test driving my Mustang (2005 v6) and car works great again. Sections of the video were different (ex. starter on drivers side held in with 2 bolts). I used four 3-ton jack stands. I did not have to remove any part of the exhaust (except 02 sensors). It did make getting the upper two bolts on the transmission a little bit more difficult. I needed a friend to get the transmission on the transmission jack because we had to put it on the jack under the car.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT.......The pressure plate itself had regular bolts, and i believe there is a torq spec when tightening.

[@solucky70]

Great explanation video! I think there are seven bolts for the transmission and two are longer than the other four. I was wondering if you remember where the two long bolts go that bolt the transmission back to the block? Are they the two top bolts? I bought a roller and trying to put it back together.

[@661David]

Any tips on removing the inner exhaust bolts by the exhaust manifold on the driver side? Only thing I could get up there was a 3/8 15 mm deep socket, tried a bunch of combinations with swivels and lengths but can’t get it.

[@atroise]

Nice job, just one question doesn't it get any air in the throw out bearing? Do we need to bleed the air, and ho we do it?

[@cj8489]

In the middle of this job now on my 2006 Mustang GT. I have fitted the transmission in and taken it back out twice now because while we get the input shaft lined up and through the clutch, there is still about 3/4" before it meets the back of the block. We can't manually push it any closer. I suspect it is simply the hydraulic throwout bearing that is preventing us from manually pushing it the rest of the way. (?) Should I just use the bellhousing bolts to pull it in the rest of the way?

[@drakepomeroy2861]

Is there a difference in flywheel bolts for a v6 2007 mustang? Or is it the same?

[@chriscrawford3541]

While this is a great install and I will be using it when I go to do my 2006 Mustang V6 repairs, he makes a lot of oversights. When you remove the pilot bearing, do it BEOFRE installing your brand new shiny flywheel, as any mishap in this stage could gouge your new flywheel and set you back a lot of money and steps. Also there is no reason not to put the guide into the clutch before installing the clutch and pressure plate, this will make alignment much easier. Finally when installing the transmission back into the engine DO NOT use the bolts to tighten the gap. Make sure the transmission is flush with the engine block BEFORE installing the bolts to ensure no warping of the ALUMINUM transmission case.

[@SirRCTHETHIRD]

great tip, I'm about to do this same thing on my 2010 GT too

I already had the braided line at the time, but one of the metal clips backed out slightly where the line connects to the plastic elbow by the transmission.

Let me know :) this video made what I thought was a very difficult job seem fairly simple and straightforward. Once I get parts and a set of socket extensions, It’ll be time to do the install. Will come back for an update if I remember. Thank you!

Kyson hey man I’m about to do the same thing on my 06. Did you ever figure out if it matters to leave your car in gear or not when you dropped your transmission?

[@davidhickin4584]

Doesn't matter. Probably a little easier to get the spline to slide back into the engine if it's not in neutral though. Sometimes twisting the tranny back and forth helps get it to slide in. If you were in neutral the spline might turn too.

Good video, everything you did looked good to me. I just had a question about using the type of silicone you were using in this video. This was the first time I have seen somebody use the type of silicone that you would find in a home depot for windows and doors (GE brand rain ready). I have only ever seen somebody use the RTV you buy at the autopart store. It never crossed my mind that you could even use that stuff instead. I suppose that stuff works exactly the same as RTV. Also, I am sure the price of that big tube of silicone cost much less than the little tube of rtv you find at the autoparts store (that stuff is expensive). If this stuff works the same I will have to start using that in the future just because I know it is a lot cheaper. Well thanks for the great video. I will be subscribing to your channel.

[@gabrielkurtz1539]

The biggest mistake is a pinched wiring harness at the block and transmisson. Please note that you need to be careful and make sure the harness is pulled up over the engine and NOT get pinched. I made this mistake and the car went into limp mode and sending codes P102, P0135, P0141, P0155, P0161, P0403, P0443, PO0446 and P1489. Do not be fooled into buying all new sensors to fix the problem. Fuse 49 will be blown when there is a short in the wiring harness.

+Matthew Thomson Yes and No!.... You don't have to have it.......you could "eyeball" he whole thing to center.....but it's a hassle .....we're a long way from aluminum case 4 speeds on guy could push into place....this a much heavier transmission and you only want to raise it and push it "home" one time......the first time......so I simply would do it without the tool. If your clutch didn't come with the tool......universal centering tools can be bough for really small change at any auto parts store.
