FORD F-150 NO REVERSE 4R75E (FIXED)

Back In June of 2018 We Repaired A 2005 Ford F-150 5.4L Pickup with a No Reverse Issue within the 4R75E Automatic Transmission. We removed and diagnosed the Transmission and were able to successfully repair it at a fraction of the cost of a Dealer or Transmission shop, With absolutely zero experience doing so...

"if you have this problem just jump right into it" yeah right!!!! I've done a lot of car repairs but this is still beyond me. Great job and my hat is off to you.

[@jasonstraits1935]

I never comment on videos ever, but I have to give you credit here. You nailed a few key points here that will help boost confidence in someone that is skiddish about disassembling this trans. Here I go! I'll update this with my outcome. Thank you

[@adengreekii4810]

Confidence level ===Jesus..... wtf did I just watch just jump right in the water feels fine 😳

I give you credit for doing this in a tiny garage.

[@angelinaakicita24-7]

Just FYI it is better to draw a diagram on a piece of cardboard and poke holes with a screwdriver and place each screw in the hole. Because if you put any screw anywhere you will definitely strip the threads and end up with problems down the line.

[@supersawyer358]

I did a complete rebuild for 500. Went together dandy. Had a stripped direct drive clutch drum. Clutch packs were iffy so I did a top down replacements. I'd do it again.

[@westleyloignon3767]

Well done video. Thanks for putting the update at the end, most videos don’t do that.

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Good catch, sadly far too many mechanics will turn that less than $500 job into a $5000 job if they could.

[@IsmaelRodriguez-oh1nv]

U forget the labor charges to take the transmission out and do the disassembly. Lets not forget while ur in the transmission might as well do the rebuild to make sure it doesnt break again for a long time

[@suzannta2827]

[@shadetreeautomotiveenthusi1284]

When you re-installed the oil pump assembly, I missed the pump return spring, did it not have one? I'm tearing into one now, that a "professional" builder did and the builder installed the pump "Piston Return Spring" backwards. The result was the intermediate clutches are now toast AND no reverse. This is my 2nd time taking apart an automatic, my 1st into the clutches or housing. Mine is an '07 model 4R75E. Did you have to take it back off and put in a return spring in later? Just wondering.

[@stephaniebaggett8045]

What about the ring that was dry rotted /bad. Does the rebuild kit include those? Is it possible for that to be the issue if transmission engages but does not function. Any tips?

[@GeorgeJFW]

Big props opening opening up a trans. Those thing are like black magic to me lol how long did it take you to pull that sucker?

[@GitItGarage]

Thanks! it was a challenge for sure going in.. But not so bad in the end. Very doable for someone with some mechanical experience. Hard to say how long exactly it took to pull due to the fact we spread the job out over several days. But with 2 people and the transmission jack I would estimate maybe 1.5 to 2 man hours to remove everything with no experience.

[@hoseaembury2071]

If your transmission has a dipstick, you can remove most of the oil with an oil extractor. Just stick the tube the whole way down and suck it out.

[@craphittingthefan2360]

I personally would have replaced the overdrive servo and band sense you had it apart and pop in new accumulators for 1-2 and 2-3 shift

unfortunately no.. your transmission is not the same. all versions of the Aviator were equipped with a 5-speed 5R55S overdrive automatic transmission. hope this helps and good luck! Thanks for watching!

[@chuygarza1505]

Hi, just wondering how long did it took you to remove the transmission?. Thanks for the video.

[@danielebrparish4271]

Probably an hour or less. Put a drain pan under the rear seal to catch the fluid when you pull out the drive shaft. Use some tape to prevent the drive shaft bearing caps at the differential from falling off. Disconnect the oil lines and electrical connection. Use a transmission jack to support the transmission because if it falls it can crush your chest. remove the bolts that fasten the bell housing to the engine then wiggle and pull the transmission from the drive shaft end. It will be safer and easier to have a helper for removal and installation. What makes it simple is that nothing needs to be measured or adjusted. It works like legos.

[@raphaelroberson1129]

Did you have to remove the engine to remove the transmission to repair. Will you need an engine hoist? Can you access to remove the transmission with the stand. Ford f 150 2004 same issue. Drives but no reverse..

[@chrisb900]

I just swapped mine out. No jacks I have 3” lift tho. Took 11 days in Autozone parking lot to do. Dont remove engine. Steps go: drain fluid, remove DS, remove starter, Remove support bar after trans jack in place to front of trans more toward bell housing and strappe in, (I tried doing without trans jack an it’s absolute must) unplug 4 wire harnesss and 2 o2 sensors, not necessary to remove exhaust but actually may save time in the end- I did not, remove flex plate bolts from TC (4), remove bell housing bolts, pry between bell housing and engine plate to disconnect transmission and lower with jack supported. Make sure as mentioned in video to support TC with an open end wrench and bolt or that tool mentioned,

[@chrisb900]

Also if strapping old trans for different one, I took off pan filter and valve body of old one which gave me a few more inches clearance but wasn’t totally necessary

[@chrisb900]

Hardest part is snugging bell housing to engine imo. And getting TC bolts even with flex plate holes. I tried doing with two half ton pos jacks and finally went and got a trans jack as I wasted 2-3 days using crap jacks atleast

[@chrisb900]

I also used an old fishing tackle box to organize and label all bolts, nuts, parts etc. I only had 3 washers and one nut left over 😂

[@raphaelroberson1129]

@@chrisb900 Thanks for the tips. I found an old man to remove the transmission. The engine didn't have to come out. The bearings in the flex were rusted out. I had to replace all of it . She rides great now !!! No note is the best way to go..👍💯
