Ford 10R140 Teardown | 10-Speed, CDF Bushing Failure

[@josephhalwagy6435]

Mate, I admire your technical skills with these transmissions.

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Thanks!

Lotta faith in that 2x10 or 2x12 and its one mounting bolt.

Very very informative video. Although it would've been nice to compare new cdf drum to the old one and what issues they have. How much does a repair like this cost? (Out of warranty)

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

The bushing rotates and blocks fluid passages (to clutches). The redesigned drum has a ridge that holds the bushing still. Repair cost (roughly) 4-6k

How did you lift the unit into that fixture? I am GM guy but I bought that ford style holder specifically for 10 speeds.

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

Hi, it took 3 or 4 of us to man handle that monster

[@esoterictransmissions]

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles I was at ford for 3 months and hated it but I briefly remember them wanting to use an engine fixture for that trans. Is that what workshop says

[@esoterictransmissions]

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles but more specifically how do you make the unit go from sitting on a trans jack to being vertical lol

[@BigBensCarsAndCycles]

@esoterictransmissions the manual says to use a crane to pull the converter and guts out. It just required man power to get the trans itself vertical. If I had a chainfall and portable trans table that would work too

[@esoterictransmissions]

@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thanks for the response. Yeah they say to use a crane for all of the 10 speeds. The 10 speed Allison has to be bolted to a powertrain table. Very heavy haa
