[@princeali2555]

you are way cute dude ! guess u already know that !

[@RobertDeshazier]

Looks like front pump been replaced and or seal been replaced before replacing in transmission

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yes, I had this transmission rebuilt less than a year prior.

[@daviddarmody937]

How much fluid did you prime the torc converter with and how much does it take all together to refill the transmission? Great video.. I am going to tackle my Lightning soon

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I put two quarts of fluid in the converter which seems to be the standard. The transmission as a whole, I think takes 12-14. In all honesty, I just fill the transmission until the dip stick reads the correct level. You should be safe with 12-14. Though. Even if you are still a bit short, you will have enough fluid to get to an auto parts store. If you have too much you can return it or keep it one a shelf for a future change.

[@jamesscherbenske5985]

[@whiskeybuilder6335]

It'll take a case to fill it, converter and all from dry.

@@TheMinuteMasters I appreciate the reply. I found it online. They go in the dowels. However, now I have another question now. How do you get the fluid pump gear to stop spinning while you try to seat the torque converter. I thought of taking the pump off and packing the pump gear with vaseline so the gear would resist spinning with the converter.

Do you have to torque any bolts? I’m looking for torque specs.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Kirsten Ott Yes, you will definitely need to torque bolts. A good repair manual will have torque specs. I used this manual: Ford AOD Transmissions:... www.amazon.com/dp/1613251149?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I’m pretty sure it had all the torque specs. You can also buy a Haynes manual from any auto parts store and they have torque specs at the beginning of each chapter.

Hey Steve i installed my transmission, but it won’t shift into gears - it’s an automatic everything looks good but won’t Shift - Any advice?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Is your transmission fluid at the correct level? Does your actually shifter move and does it feel like the linkage is working?

[@aylamerritt4567]

I'm having exact same problem! And my shifter won't move

[@rasheedaustin6064]

Great video but it’s a piece on the top next to those 3 connectors u showed… where is the hose that connects ?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Are you referring to be almost 1 inch in diameter black hose?

[@rasheedaustin6064]

@@TheMinuteMasters I wish they allowed pics… it’s a single metal piece that sits at the top of the transmission all alone around the area near the 3 connectors.. it might has a hose that go over it but on my truck it’s bare and when I pour or start truck trans fluid pours out .. If I was to go under the truck and reach up above the pan it’s right there… apologize for lack of clarification

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@rasheedaustin6064 So there is a piece of metal that holds the middle part of your dip stick tube. Without it, the tube won’t stay seated. That would explain why fluid leaks out when you start it or try to fill it up. That plate is held in place by two of the transmission bell house bolts.

[@davidbrumfield158]

[@maxkinsey5260]

Hey long shot but it would help massively. I've misplaced my bolts. 4r70w going onto the back of 4.6L, any idea on sizes?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Definitely a long shot question for sure. I don’t even think I have a thread sizer big enough to size the bolts. I’ll say this, if we’re just going to guess. I would figure it to be a metric bolts. Probably a 1.75 or 2.0 metric thread pitch. The pick up a M12 or M14 as a test bolt. The longer bolts are probably 2.5 to 3 inches long.

[@whiskeybuilder6335]

Go to a junkyard and remove the necessary hardware. Don't misplace them.

[@sargonkhabeer8471]

That’s the funny thing. When I started working on the truck, I put it on neutral. After I installed the new tranny, for some reason the shifter in the car was on drive. So I put it back on neutral but still the same. Could it be the neutral safety switch is no in the correct position

[@TheMinuteMasters]

sargon khabeer that’s weird. It should stay in place. The switch/adjuster is on the side of the trans.

[@borderlineiq]

Stevie, it occurs to me, you might want to use a laser pointer when indicating remote things in your nether regions, for clarity. Good video as ever.

[@borderlineiq]

Oh, and just a random question: why do you opt not to use a GoPro for tricky two-handed demonstrations? I know you don't want to make the videos long by showing all work, but you seem chagrinned sometimes that you are limited to one-handed demos. I've never used one, and I guess it would mean editing, as people would still want to see your face rather than just hear a voiceover.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Camas That’s a good idea and I can definitely do that. It’s pretty dark under the truck and transmission work is definitely hard to see.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Camas I’ve considered getting a GoPro and I think I might just do that. I guess I was always putting GoPro budget toward parts. However, I’m thinking of showing time lapse videos of me work to give a broader sense of how a repair is done.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Camas Thanks Camas! I appreciate that!🤙 Yeah I’ll definitely get one. It may come as no surprise but my channel it monetized and I do get a monthly kick back. I’m not allowed to disclose how much but it’s just enough to get a refurbed current gen go pro or a new older gen. So I’d say you guys have done your part in helping get the necessary funds to get one. Although, I never knew that is what Patreon was used for. I’ve had people tell me to sell merchandise I.e t-shirts, stickers, etc but I didn’t think my channel is sexy enough for that. However consider you recommendation well received and hopefully I’ll be filming next month with a Go Pro.🤙

[@borderlineiq]

I'm sorry to drag on, but you have a very large upside potential for monetizing, and that without product placement or even merchandizing. Your videos are highly specific, so you have a small base compared to someone like Chris Fix. However, your presentation skills, awareness of camera use, perception of the viewer's need, and personality mean you could cast about and find broader topics that have a wider audience. It may be your general contracting know-how to give homeowner tips. Or it could be your knowledge of history/religion/design. I can't know that, but you do, and your family and friends know. Whatever it is, your followers would be in the millions if you were to land on that. I used to teach, but I rarely saw such potential, which is why I've stayed after you on this. You enjoy broadcasting. You are easy on the eyes. You are natural in your delivery. Seize on that. Fulfill your calling. You are no doubt successful at project management, but that is a job.

Was there anything you did that went wrong . my problem is the torque. Converter. How do we know when it in right does it has to free spin when attatched ??

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nope, I’ve now put at least 40k on the transmission. Still works like a charm and I’ve towed a trailer a 1000 miles twice. You’ll know the torque converter is all the way on both shafts when the TQ doesn’t stick out past the bell housing. When it fits over the first shaft it will stick out too far.

[@sargonkhabeer8471]

Thank you for your reply. The driveshaft is not installed. I can’t turn the torque converter because it has 4 bolts that’s go into the flywheel. The tc spun freely before I installed the transmission. And all 4 bolts came through the holes on the flywheel. Does it have do to anything with the transfer case being installed? If the tc was not seats right, the transmission would have not lined up correctly. I’m stuck and trying to figure out what went wrong

[@TheMinuteMasters]

sargon khabeer Ok, yeah your transfer case could have something to do with it. If the tc lined up with the flywheel and the bell housing bolts installed. Then it should be mated properly. You tried putting a socket on the crankshaft bolt on the front of the engine and turned the crank shaft?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

What does the greasing do?

[@phreezown2862]

Honestly I don't know the actual science behind the reason doing it other than there's so much torque that that nub can move around ever-so-slightly inside of its resting place. From the Ford forum I was told that it is extremely important to make sure that it is greased. I don't believe that it's going to be detrimental in any way shape or form, just sharing a little tip that was given. 😉 I just got my 4R75E back into my 05 e250 and should have the trans cooler and driveline hooked up today and able to test drive it.

It is not an easy job but it can be done. I removed both a straight six cylinder engine and trans out of an F100 (same size as an F150.) We used a balancer and we removed the two front wheels from the truck. Then lowered the whole front end. This gave us enough clearance to hoist the whole assembly out at an angle. Hope this helps!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

1 - Don’t force any bolts and risk cross threading 2 - Don’t over torque any bolts and be sure to apply the proper torque spec 3 - Use the correct transmission fluid. Fords are sensitive to fluids. Mercon V for most of the older truck transmissions. 4 - Make sure the torque converter fits over both shafts. They call it the double clunk. It should slide on and stop. It won’t be completely on. Then spin it and it should slide on a little more. 5 - Don’t over fill fluid 6 - Replace filter and gasket while doing transmission install. 7 - Don’t reuse old fluid.

I know this isn't transmission related but I got a 95 f150 5.0. Drives great but when I'm having a hard time starting the truck. I have good fuel pressure and I just replaced the regulator. The fuel leak down test did show that it was losing fuel pressure after it primed. Any ideas? Leaking injector?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Jakestarr1723 Unfortunately, multiple things can cause hard starting. I usually start by eliminating cheap variables. Make sure each part of the fuel, ignition, and air system is working. Here’s some suspects: I’m not sure if these trucks have a fuel pressure regular/check valve. If they do, I would check that. Make sure the fuel filter is new. They are cheap and can cause problems. Visually check the injectors and make sure nothing is leaking. If necessary (and it’s takes some time) remove the injectors and have them cleaned. The last thing you can do, is test the vacuum of the engine. They sell vacuum test gauges at any parts store. Hook it up to and vacuum line on the engine.

I’ve pulled a trans from a Chevy express 3500 and I thought it had the same stud and nut setup.

What’s your Snapchat name I really want to see the truck running? I showed this video to my dad and he said you make it look easy so he’s going to try to tear his down too. Hopefully he don’t mess it up lol.
