I change my tranny fluid (2003 ) Ford Expy. every 40,00 miles. Changed the filter first time and installed a B&M drain plug kit in the pan. 254,000 miles later, the tranny shifts like new. I also pull a 22' Sea Ray boat and open car trailer W/ 67 Fairlane on board. If you take care of them, they"ll take care of you. My father spoke those words years ago, words of wisdom.

I use fishing line and lightly tie the gasket to the pan through one pan bolt hole on each side(or corners) to keep the gasket aligned while lifting into place. Then start some of my bolts to hang the pan, then cut the fishing line, remove and replace remaining bolts. Just make sure to tie the knots on the outer side of the pan so when cut no line remains inside pan.

I just drained my 4R70W and torque converter out of my 1998 Explorer XLT AWD 5.0L V8. I took out 11 quarts total including what was in the torque converter. I installed a FT105 Motorcraft tranny filter, cleaned the tranny pan, cleaned magnet, torqued all tranny bolts @ 10 ft pounds, then filled it until it was good. Trucks shifts very firm now! Thank you!

@@johnonthecooldoe6338 There is a plastic inspection plug on the bellhousing just in front of the pan. Take that off and have someone bump the starter while you watch from the bottom to see when the plug lines up with the inspection hole. On my 302 F150 I could not get the plug lined up with the hole using the starter - I put a socket on the harmonic balancer nut and tuned the engine over that way. Remove the drain plug and let it drain - give it plenty of time (about an hour). When you reinstall the plug use some loctight,. When refilling I pour in 5 quarts, start the engine and pour in 6 more quarts with the engine running. Thats when I start checking the oil - I will even drive it to get it good and hot for an accurate measurement. My F150 took exactly 13 quarts - per spec its only supposed to take 12- and that's from dry.

I didn’t exactly follow this video to the T since I have experience in doing a few “old school” US domestic car automatic transmission fluid, filter and pan drop service. I did my 98 Ford Crown Vic ATF service recently. It is factory equipped with a 4R70W automatic transmission. I dropped the pan, washed out the pan and circle magnet with a shop parts wash machine, and then button it up. Rather than 4.5 quarts, i put 4.3 quarts worth of Motorcraft Mercon V ATF. Drove the car for over 10 miles, parked it on leveled surface, shift each gears back and forth about 20 seconds each position, let it idle for 5 minutes in park and check the level. It was ON THE MONEY! Results: a happy car owner and wont have to do this service until the next 30K miles 👍🏼

The narration and explanation are excellent, the camera work was great (tripod!), and there was no annoying and distracting metal/techno/rap "music" blasting in the background. This is a professional-looking production that walks the novice through the process. Thank you for the superb work, FordTech.

Completed the job with my son and I. Good learning experience for him. 2002 F150 216K miles. I found the little yellow plug in the pan. Magnet was covered, but not excessively. Last transmission “flush” by a Ford dealer at 112K in 2010. Paid $169, so I think they flush without removing the pan. Not happy about this. Wonder what I paid for???? Same dealer did a “flush” at 55K. Sorry and I waited this long as I am religious about changing the engine oil every 3K since I’ve owned it at 45K miles. Thank you. I hope you are getting some great residuals from your postings.

Draining the torque converter is very simple on these transmissions. You can see the round indented rubber plug on the bottom of the bell housing. Pull it then turn the converter with a screwdriver until you see a bolt. Unscrew the bolt and be ready for about 8 to 9 quarts to empty. Put bolt back in. Fill up with 4 quarts and start engine for 30 seconds. Turn off and add 4 more. Start engine for 30 seconds. Add 3 more and turn on engine. Add balance of oil as needed.

@@roberth912 I would change it, but in a multi-step process. Drain a couple of quarts, top it back off and drive it for 500 miles or so. Repeat the process several times with about 500 miles between each step until the fluid looks clean. If there is any dirt/debris, it should slowly loosen it up and work it's way down to the filter. After it's looking clean, drop the pan, clean the magnet, put in a new filter and top it off. The 4R75 isn't nearly as sensitive as others to contamination, but I would still spread out the flush procedure to avoid breaking up a bunch of dirt all at once.

@@roberth912 I just looked it up in the service manual, it is a 4R75E. I think the W versions were typically used in the trucks. Yours uses Mercon LV fluid. Total capacity is 12.8 quarts on the police applications. The filter should be the same between the E and W versions. The pan gasket is re-useable and the pan bolts should be torqued to 124 inch/pounds in a crisscross pattern. After a pan drop and filter change, add about 5 quarts of fluid to begin with, drive it for 20-30 minutes to warm up the fluid and slowly bring the level up to about the middle of the crosshatch range. The fluid expands a lot with temperature increases, so don't fill it all the way to the top of the range.

I own a 97 Thunderbird with a 4R70W transmission. Front seal leaks and I am wondering which of the trans seal additives may work best on this vehicle. I have been lead to believe that Blue Devil would be best. What say you?? Thanks.

A shop that I got a quote from to do my transmission service on a 04 f150 xlt with a 5.4 said it called for 14 quarts of trans fluid. so I guess all I am wondering about is after the 4.5 that u started with. How much did you end up adding

Great tutorial! I just bought a 2002 F150 with 241K on the odometer and changed the fluid according to these instructions. It still had the yellow plug!

@@JKRhodes, so the transmission on your truck was flushed at least once, but never had the pan dropped to change the filter until you did it. That's good to know. I bought my 2001 F-150 with about 210k mile almost 2 years ago, and checking the transmission fluid recently, I noticed it's about time to change it. It doesn't look/smell burnt, but it's not clean either. It has about 235k miles now. I don't know how many times the fluid has been flushed or changed, but I'm thinking it was probably done at least once. Needless to say, it's probably a good idea that I go ahead and change the fluid and filter soon

My dad is giving me his old 2002 Ford Expedition 5.4L V8. It has the 226k miles and said he's never had the trans fluid changed. When I checked the dipstick it was still dark red. It doesn't smell burnt or anything. Do you think it's safe to change the fluid at this point?

My 2007 f150 4x4 5.8 flex/at is at 70k. I'm going to do a filter and 5qt change like your video shows... Is there any merit to doing a full system flush like other videos show? I don't have any issues except very minor trans slip at high way speed when it's trying to decide which gear to coast in, usually at about 70 mph.

which is better, to change 13.9+/- than 5? Why add a new filter when you are only changing out 5 qts. if ATF?

Hi, I'm thinking about replacing the fluid on my 99 E-150 4R70W transmission, as have no service history and probably it has never been done before. There is one thing that is unclear, amount of fluid to pour back in. Tha 4R70W capacity of fluid is around 14 qts but you have use only 5 qts to refill. Could you clear this out for me please.Thanks a lot!!!

Hi friend, this is a great video and wanted to mentioned that I had a small accident with my 2005 4x4 F150 (broke the oil cooler and the oil leaked while driving), after a few miles I stopped and had to be towed back home. I'm in Canada and the truck has 270,000 km, got it one year ago and don't know any mechanic history of it at all. I have the new oil cooler and wanted to know if I should change the filter now that is "empty", and if you know how much oil I may have lost and how much oil would require to bring it to the correct level?

Hi makuloco , I want to do a fluids flush on a 2013 ford f150 xlt with 188.000 miles on it, I called one of the shops in colorado springs Colorado, and they don't want to do it, they claim that the transmission might ruin because is not use to new transmission fluids? Is this accurate or they just don't want to do it? Thanks
