Nice work Shane! Having that drain plug is a miracle, Ive never seen an automatic with it before 😎🤘.

[@89G]

Thank you, Luis! It makes it much easier to have that plug now!

Great video. Exactly what i wanted to see since I'll be doing this on my Grand Marquis driver. 🙌🏻

[@89G]

@waynestinyworld thank you my friend! I appreciate your feedback

[@waynestinyworld]

​@@89GAny time you want to do a simple rebuild video on this transmission I'll be ready to watch it. 😊

[@89G]

@@waynestinyworld I am hoping to make that a reality soon!

[@waynestinyworld]

​@@89GIn that case, don't skip any details. I can build an engine but i know nothing about transmission...lol

Really useful video for changing any automatic transmission fluid, great job as always! I remember welding a bung into the pan on my old 91 4-cylinder mustang and I warped it so bad I couldn't get it to seal to the transmission and hold fluid anymore.🤣I should've gone with a screw-in style one, I think I even used flux-core wire.

Oh man... got 'er a little too hot? I did successfully patch a hole in a 4R70W pan with my Titanium MIG. By successful, I mean it didn't leak, lol. I was thinking of brazing one of these plug kits in on my spare pan... just as a little experiment.

[@SleazysGarage]

@@89G yep, I had no idea what I was doing, still don't though tbf. Brazing is an interesting idea...

[@89G]

That's part of my motto... "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll give it hell"
