[@oby-1607]

You have to wonder what the cause of this is. Is there a sudden shock loading on that servo causing that snap ring retainer to fail? Can this be modified to prevent this in the future. I do know that solenoid control is usually instant with no gradual ramp up of pressure though. So that is probably the main reason. Also amazing the heat treated steel failed and didn't chew out the softer aluminum in the process.

[@johnferguson7235]

I have a TIP FOR YOU : Get some cheap wrist bands from the sporting goods store and run them up onto your forearms to stop the transmission fluid from dripping down your arms and into your armpits and shirt when you are dropping the pan and valve body. It makes it easier and quicker to clean up as you jump back and forth between jobs. Thanks for posting.

[@melvinlancaster768]

The improved check ball link says the are plastic and for a gm vehicle. Not doubting your knowledge, I just want to make sure I get everything correct before I place my order.

[@cpeoj2001]

You checked the valves with a pick and they were all fine in this case, but if one is sticky what do you recommend? Also, I've seen a "super tuff" separator plate for sale. Do you recommend upgrading to that? Thank you for sharing this video. Once again another fine job, I'm a big fan.

I was hoping the servo would fall out when I took it apart like you showed, sadly it wasn't that :( No overdrive, has to be the ban inside that is broken, have to spend the big money now to get it done, but it was totally worth the try, thank you for the great video.

[@jimkryzak811]

Same happened with mine. The servo and snap ring were fine. I opened up the valve body to check it and found a tiny aluminum chip holding the overdrive plunger open.

[@robertharrell3848]

great video.i replaced the ring on the reverse servo and when i pushed the servo up it wont come back down. doesnt seem to be binding is it fluid driven or something?

[@dorslv2342]

I did the same, i think the piston on the OD servo got jammed, i popped the e-clip off and dropped the plate and spring but the servo piston is stuck! Any suggestions?

[@user-gc6jk3ww1s]

What happens if I break one of the tabs on that plastic circuit?

[@Msnborosurfr]

Tried your fix. Everything went smoothly. One check ball was shredded into pieces. I have same issue as your customer and can't access overdrive, shifts into and out of overdrive. Checked everything else. My servo and snap ring were intact and so just reassembled. Truck drives and shift smooth but same overdrive issue. Any thoughts?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Either that overdrive valve is sticking on the other end of it or the weld is broken on the overdrive band.

Where did you get that red plastic pry bar tool you used to hold the band while installing the servo?

[@alanaz4265]

Just completed this repair today on my 2005 F150 4R75E. Absolutely perfect, thankyou! Something I did to make this a little easier was to pick up a fluid extractor (Harbor Freight $6.99) and pull about 5 quarts of fluid out through the dip stick tube. Really decreased the amount of mess when dropping the pan, does not completely eliminate the "waterfall" but sure makes it a lot more manageable. This is really easy if you take your time and pay attention to detail. Double check everything and you'll be fine. BTW, my snap ring was in about 15 pieces and the overdrive piston came down with the valve body just like in this video. Found about 4-5 little pieces inside by the regulator valve.

[@freddyhollingsworth5945]

Also Brian I absolutely love how meticulous you are. You take crazy time make sure everything is clean and your particular ways of things like letting the snap rings snap into place so you can hear the strong pop vs releasing the snap ring into place by the pliers. You truly work on every car like you're doing a repair on you own Mom's car. I certainly hope your able to make it financially with how proper you work and how slow you go to make sure it's all perfect and how honest you are. Thank you for doing all this right for people. In the short run, the other guys might get 3x the work done as you, but lots of those jobs will come back in with major issues, but you do such good and thorough work that eventually you'll build up an amazing positive equity on the streets that you'll have more work than you can handle.. In the end, you win bc you do the right thing. You're worth your weight on gold and it's so hard to find honest and meticulous mechanics these days. Thank you again.

[@robcoile3127]

Great video! This happened to my 2004, except both the snap ring and e clip broke and force of servo spring broke a chuck out of OD plate. I changed all those parts. One tip - I traced around shape of my new snap ring on a piece of paper and then placed all broken pieces in the trace to make sure I had all broken bits. There was a small piece in a channel of valve body so make sure you get all pieces identified. Mine going strong after this repair.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

That works too, normally it is just an ear, this was extreme. Either way I was going into the valve body for inspection of all the circuits and wear items.

[@danhg3885]

Great advice. One broken end of the snap ring likes to work itself into the OD regulator line up in the valvebody and sometimes will jam this valvetrain causes 3-4 shift trouble. Best to look over the entire valvebody and change the checkballs during the work.

[@scruffy6151]

Very good ides if you have many pieses.

[@kevinfreund1685]

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I thoroughly enjoy it and I would like to say thank you for this video I was ready to change the transmission in my wife’s 06 f150 but decided to check this issue first. What I ended up finding was about half an inch of the O/D servo clip that was jamming a shift valve in the valve body. Keep up the great work!

[@mfb123617]

Thanks! Videos are pure gold. My overdrive piston pounded a hole into the valve body circular stress plate and damaged the separator plate. Didnt ever fully lose 4th gear either! I think the piston rod was able to keep the overdrive band captured even though it was flopping around in there. The piston eventually bent. I inspected everything, cleaned it all out, put it back together, and it's back in the road for under $200. Saved me thousands. I'll see you for my timing chain and pump job man!

[@jacobrogers4619]

See I’ve had issues with my truck on the express way it would indicate “transmission malfunction” and O/D off, basically sounds like it went into neutral. I would pull over to the side of the road turn truck off and back on and it would reset, this happened multiple times then randomly stopped. Now I can drive 70 mph at 2000 rpm no problem, but now it’s having other issues driving around 20 to 30 mph trying to find a gear, slipping, shifting too soon and then it also hesitates and feels like it shifts twice. I’m believing it’s the valve body.

[@jimhilton3914]

I have to say the way you presented the repair on this transmission is the best I've ever seen. No trying to be cute for the camera, no flowered up music just straightforward instruction from a young man that knows his subject completely. I am now subscribed to your channel. Thank you very much.

[@yamahabradley]

Another little tip is before you put the snap ring in make sure its right side up. In this case the sharp edge should be oriented down, the rounded side up.

[@billspooks]

THANK YOU...!!! I really appreciate you doing this video. I am going to change the valve body on my 2000 Crown Vic when I do the filter and fluid. I have shuddering in third gear which goes away if I accelerate or when the car warms up. I want to have a look at the infamous snap rings and see if they need to be replaced. I think I can handle this but I have been worried about where all of the check balls go.

[@tangeliagreer2239]

I live in Miami, Fl., do you know anyone I can to, to have mine done. I have the same problem, which just started 2 weeks ago. I have a 2003 Grand Marquis SVT. It used to be a race car. It has a 2 gear shift change, flomaster and 22inc rims. I recently had 3 jobs done on it by a street guy, who knows a little something something, but Every Time he fixes one thing, something else happens. First, he replaced the power steering pump, after that was done my car overheated and my radiator exploded and he replaced that, and my transmission cooler literally fell on the ground and he replaced that. Now, my car will rev when I try to accelerate at 40 or higher when I release the gas and press back on it. However, if I press the gas and dont let up off the gas, the car will continue to accelerate, but as soon as I release rhe gas pedal, I have to wait for the car to slow all the way down in order to accelerate again. I have no problem driving and releasing the gas pedal below 40mph. I took it to a mechanic and he wanna charge me $1,090 to do the transmissiin and he say I need the converter, as well for $190. He say the car was losing power in over drive. I don't know what to do because I am a female. If I was skinny, I would try to fix it myself. I was going to take it to Ford dealer but they wanna diagnose it because they can't accept another person's words that the problem is what they say it is. I know the dealer would be a lot more. Another thing, my break light has been on the dashboard for a while and never goes out. I have no engine check light on for any problems. I dont know if I'm low on brake fluid, the reason why the brake light is on. My car brakes fine. I'll have to check the brake fluid to see if the brake light has something to do with the fluid or the loss of power over 40mph.

Hello, very nice video. I want to ask about the snap rings used in the repair. Most all "C" clips, "E" clips or snap rings have a flat side and the other side a rounded outer edge. I was taught that the flat side goes to the outside or away from the spring pressure. In theory, the flat side will lock in the groove with a better fit. Do you have a preference on which side of a snap ring you put to the outside? Just curious OK, I worked autos and jet engines for 40 yrs. Thanks Jim

You will be driving in 4th down the interstate and it will start going back and forth sometimes. My snap on modis showed the seconds to be 1.-1, 2 for the seconds on the torque converter which was described to me that the torque converter was holding. Then SOMETIMES the numbers would go from maybe -1 to 136 of course when it did, the transmission went back to 3rd. Any ideas?

I just watched the video before attempting the repair. It went perfect except I broke one of the clips on the harness. I figured I had done all this and there’s no way I’m putting in a broken part so I ordered a replacement from Amazon that was made in America for seventeen dollars. So far it’s working perfect!! Truly,you are doing God’s work. Thank you so much for these videos. I don’t know what I would do without you

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

Do you mind sharing the part number?

[@ccn3800]

Thanks for this video, by the way I have a F150 XL 1997 4.2 V6, and I pay for rebuilt transmisión 2nd gear not works, but the think is after reinstall the rebuilt it I have the same issue, I don't know What to do since I expend a lot money and still same...it could be antoher fail not related to the transmisión?. Thanks 4R70W.

[@thearrow5793]

[@davidplata2959]

Nice video . My expedition just don’t have 3rd or 4 th . First and second change ok. That can be the problem?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yes sometimes it hangs up the valve affecting third and 4th

[@tracydiller4492]

Great video Brian I see people talking about drain plugs in the trans pan, I remember when they use to install drain plugs in the trans pan but that's when common sense was still around.Once again great video so keep them coming.

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

Dorman makes one

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

Only like $26

[@louiscollier6577]

Love watching your content sir

[@wilziam]

The repeat business this guy must get from ford owners must be astounding. He knows everything about these trucks!

[@Ashroyer86]

He was smart enough to know which line would bring the most business.

[@mikecont9742]

Very informative. I like the step by step process. The tech tips is what makes your videos better than the rest.

[@rotie140]

Awesome video 👍 I'll be doing mine asap as I have some funny shifting and lack of power. I suspect it's that #7 ball ☹️

[@mark98070]

Great video Brian, Thanks. Looks like ford could/should reengineer these valve bodies to accept a beefier snap-ring.

[@johnfitbyfaithnet]

Good point

[@GKnee72]

I watch a a lot of transmission tear downs and love precision transmission because he is also professional and informative! Just don't see a lot of Ford tear downs loads of GM!

[@tamara7859]

Sucks not having a transmission pan drain bolt.... mess everywhere sigh

[@THEGAMINGHELP101]

Well if they would have put a drain bolt people may question the "lifetime" fluid and would end up changing it. Without a bolt, people are more likely to believe in the "lifetime" fluid.

[@JAKE3914]

Very, very well done!!! Just like a class at WyoTech!!!

[@tedjones-ho2zk]

If Ford still used an Overdrive servo cover like in the AOD and the AODE transmissions they would not be breaking snap rings. I guess Ford wanted to save weight again by removing the cover and having the servo slam against the snap ring, Ford quality compromised by a bean counter. Fix Or Repair Daily!!

[@thefordmaniac]

4r70w did...4r70e does not.

[@KarmaVoyager]

Yup. Typical shitty ford design.

[@omardeleon867]

This was so detailed, neat, simply great video. I watched the whole thing and I don't even own a Ford anymore. Awesome channel.

[@sabajupicuda7655]

can you please do some 2011 & up 5.0 V8, F150 engine videos?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

If they come in of course.

[@sabajupicuda7655]

Thanks for all your videos they're top shelf !

***NO REVERSE, after completed, HERE IS YOUR ISSUE! *** At 44:44 Brian points to and talks about the "Critical Part" of the manual valve, when reinstalling the Valve Body. BE SURE you pay attention to this, BE SURE as he points with his INDEX FINGER, that it lines up with the FIRST Groove and NOT the SECOND Groove with the washer. IF YOU DO NOT line it up correctly, you will get it back together and you will NOT Have REVERSE. and will have to pull the pan again and reset it!
