Ford C6 Transmission-Replacing shifter shaft seals

[@fomoco173]

Nicely done! I just pulled the C6 out of my 74 F100 and am in the process of tearing it down to rebuild it.

[@AJsGarage]

Thank you! Have you rebuild a C6 before? Thought about giving it a try but I’m actually going to switch the truck to a 4 speed

[@fomoco173]

@@AJsGarage yes, done a few.

[@douglaselser2440]

Man, really appreciate this. Could not get placement of kickdown correct and your detail really helped

[@AJsGarage]

I’m glad it helped, thank you for watching! Got everything back together?

[@douglaselser2440]

@@AJsGarage I did indeed. Thanks for asking. This was only part of the problem though...pulled the tailshaft cover and the governor was completely disconnected!

[@CalvinHamilton-s1x]

Went in easy on the valve body because u didn't do micrometer measurements or even explain it lol nobody has a shifting c6 after this smart ass

[@josephmclovin9763]

When you dropped the bolt while installing the valve body- I laughed and said, that’s me

[@AJsGarage]

Usually I won’t leave stuff like that in the final edit but maybe I’ll start putting them together at the end of each video

[@Jacobswalk1]

There is an easy way to keep from making a mess by using a cheap manual transfer pump. They come with long hoses that will fit in the fill tube. Shove it to the bottom and stick the other end in a jug and start pumping. there will still be some fluid left in the pan but if you're careful, no mess.

[@AJsGarage]

I never thought of that, it’s a good way to get most of the fluid out. The drain plug makes it a lot easier now. Thank you for watching!

[@CalvinHamilton-s1x]

Lol😅😅😅when u ask wich way should the shift lever actually be pointed when installing 😂😂 or anyother specific valve body questions 😅

[@thomaswilliams1602]

Where did your get the o-ring and. Washer for the shifter? I have the pan gasket and filter gasket, but I can’t seem to find the parts you installed in this video. TIA

[@AJsGarage]

I found them on eBay, not sure of the part number but the one I got came with a rear seal also. I believe I just searched C6 shifter shaft seal and it should come up. Thank you for watching!

[@cesargutierrez4476]

I can't seem to find those parts too. You mentioned EBAY but no luck

[@TheThirdWheel618]

many people on here might know about this but I always had leaks on my transmission pan gasket especially on some of these trucks if it had a big block they had the motor leaning backwards I used a lube locker transmission pan seal. that was the best seal that I've ever used on anything and I will use them for life from now on whether it be timing cover oil pan valve cover transmission pan they even give you the torque sequence on the box for the c4 C6 I just changed my fluid and my gasket last night love that gasket it's called a lube locker check it out.

[@AJsGarage]

Ill have to check it out. I have actually used lube locker before, they make great stuff. I have a lube locker gasket on the differential in each truck seals up great and no leaks.

[@garyszuckerman]

Torque the FILTER bolts 40 to 60 INCH pounds and the PAN 12 to 16 FOOT pounds (95 INCH pounds) if it is a factory steel type..Torque the valve body to the case 95 to 125 INCH pounds..These numbers are out the 1972 Ford Overhaul manual for the C6..I have found it best to Torque the PAN to 10 foot pounds and then RETORQUE to 12 foot pounds AFTER THE TRAMSMISSION WARMS UP. .

[@AJsGarage]

Thank you for the information. Definitely going to go back and torque everything down to the proper amount. Especially the pan. I plan on changing it out.

[@things971]

@@AJsGarage do you have the part number for the seals?

[@AJsGarage]

@@things971 No I just ordered them off of eBay. I’m sure if you just search for C6 shifter shaft seal it would come up.

[@lipton4453]

Hi you don’t need to remove the filter unless your going to clean it out just all the 3/8 head bolts to drop the valve body your doing great tho

[@AJsGarage]

Thank you, Thanks for watching!

[@landyndonovan9958]

@Blake Kaleb i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@landyndonovan9958]

@Blake Kaleb it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account :D

[@yeboscrebo4451]

I need to do this too. Thx

[@AJsGarage]

Thank you for watching! My seal for the kickdown linkage is still leaking slowly so I need to find a different o-ring.

[@CalvinHamilton-s1x]

Back of the select valve is sticking out a inch and 80 thousands there badass its supposed to be just under 90 thousands when ur farthest away from park

[@dandyman132]

Where do you get your music for your channel. Ive been getting my royalty free from a site. Just wondering if you pay or if its free. Ive been using Adobe Rush to edit but the music selection is not very good.

[@AJsGarage]

The music I use is already on my MacBook. In IMovie, I’ve been trying to figure out how to use something different. There’s some good little clips but sometimes I’m editing video clips to fit the music length.

[@ghostbuster9776]

The only video on youtube I could find....PLEASE ADD kickdown shaft replace in description....I broke my kickdown/ tv shaft and could find a single replacement video online....yours was the first

[@AJsGarage]

Glad my video was able to help out! We’re you able to get yours swapped out?

[@jeogriffith]

6:38 damn would have loved to see how to seat that

[@AJsGarage]

Can’t remember why I didn’t get a chance to record it but use some ATF so the seal and surface aren’t dry. It’s a cramped space so I just tapped it very lightly all the way around until it seated. If I had to do it again I’d get a small block of wood to apply even pressure

[@dandyman132]

Almost worth buying a baby pool to use for the mess....lol. Buying stock in baby pools right now! LOL

[@AJsGarage]

Seriously! No matter what I always spill transmissions fluid. That’s actually not a bad idea haha.

[@CalvinHamilton-s1x]

Lol 100 inch lb on the god dam bolts for the valve body also

[@CalvinHamilton-s1x]

Did u drive it 😅😅😅😅lol im still.laffing
