How to Install/Replace a Transmission in One Day | 1995 Ford F150

[@omar_padilla]

Wow he did a whole lot less cussing than me lol, boy lining up those transmission lines was so much fun lol. It wasn't easy but the satisfaction you feel when you turn your truck on and drive off is second to none!, shout out to my pops!! for helping it would have probably taken me a week to get it on by myself. Bit of advise if you have a hard time lining it up bring it down take a breather and start the installation over from the beginning.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I sure did! Lolol You are so right about starting over. Most of the time, a new approach solves the previous alignment issue. Pops are the best for car advise!🤙

@@TheMinuteMasters I was wondering is it possible to convert the column shifter to a floor shifter in a 94 f150 automatic?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@christmasdavis2551 I’ve never see it done but I’m sure people have done it.

One of your best videos Steve. Clear concise informative and entertaining 👍 Definitely gonna need a trans jack. Is it too early for a self Xmas gift? 😁

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Greg!🤙 it’s definitely not too early but it’s also an important piece of safety equipment. So plenty of good excuses to buy one.👌

[@1320J]

Getting a 91 F150 XLT Lariat with the 302 5l, only issue is the previous owner nabbed the trans for another truck. You make this look like a piece of cake.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nice! Those are sweet trucks! I won’t say it’s easy, but it’s definitely straightforward if you have all the right tools and take your time.

[@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui]

Hey Siri this is Francisco that’s a very cool video removing the transmission from your truck I remember back the old days the good old days did you Rebuild your transmission

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Francisco!🤙 I only replaced the torque converter seal and the torque converter.

[@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui]

Stevie I ask you cause remember last time in one of the videos you found a part inside the pan the transmission pan so I thought something went wrong with your transmission that’s why I asked always like your videos buddy have a nice weekend

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui Yup, I did find a part but I installed the transmission anyway. Lol My transmission isn’t working very well right now. I’ll probably have to rebuild it.

[@chadriddle4357]

11:25 that is also how I know where my nuts and bolts go.

[@adriannewman1322]

Always always make sure the converter is all the way before bolting it up so you don't damage the pump. My friend is a tranny builder and he's had to redo a bunch of trannys that he's built cause some people put them in themselves and don't make sure it's all the way in. They have extensions that are real long specifically for tranny work for the bell bolts also when I do the converter bolts or nuts I do one then go 180 from that one then do it then the other 2

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Good advice Adrian!🤙

[@estebangomez805]

Awesome, thanks

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

Hey! Do you have a video mentioning how to replace the accumulator valve/spring? I finally heard back from the shop and that is probably what's wrong with my hard downshift from 2 to 1. I can't afford the $1,000 they quoted me to do it so I want to try and do it myself

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Unfortunately, I don’t. But this book is an excellent resource and should show you how. amzn.to/3T4FtsD

[@idkwhatimdoing97]

im installing a new torque converter in my truck and we got everything put back together started the truck up but in drive and reverse it makes a horrible whining noise now and seems to slip when moving in drive but reverse is fine

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Did you pre-fill the torque converter? And do you think you got the correct stall rating for your truck?

[@antonioloera5013]

What would be the best way to go about replacing my knock sensor

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Is yours bad? It’s typical a simple unplugging of the harness and just unscrewing it.

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

Great video! I'm trying to avoid replacing my transmission. The past two days it's been clunking when decelerating from 2nd to 1st coming to a complete stop. It's clunking/bucking pretty hard and I don't want it to get worse. Trans is a Jasper remanufactured w/40k miles and the rear end is remanufactured with 1,500 miles and the u-joints have 10,000 miles on them and the engine has 40k on it, remanufactured. I seem to have a wet area near the back of the transmission near the driveshaft where they mate. I think it's trans fluid but my fluid is full. Is this related or two separate issues? Why would my kinda new transmission be leaking? And from where? How would I replace that rear seal around where the driveshaft goes into the transmission? The clunking seems to be coming from the rear, but maybe I'm wrong. It's not really a loud noise, just a hard jerk. Pretty much only when I brake slowly, not nearly as much when I brake quickly. I don't know what all to check considering everything is supposed to be new and new-ish

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man! Transmissions are tricky. They require lots of diagnosing to figure out their issues but even then it’s not 100%. I like to start with the cheap fixes first. Chalk your front wheels, jack up the entire rear end so both wheels are off the ground, put your truck in neutral, and then go in spin one of the tires. i’m wondering if you will hear that clunk noise.

[@BLueFeaTHeRedOliVeS]

@@TheMinuteMasters thank you! I will try that next, first thing in the morning. Its pouring rain. Can I message you then with what I come up with? People in forums are just saying take it to the shop, which I can't

[@onlypurcells]

Is the torque converter supposed to slide back and forth ? Having trouble getting the torque bots to seat right

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nope, it should be firm. There should be no forward or backward movement. It should still rotate. The TC may not be fully seated inside the transmission bell housing.

[@onlypurcells]

@@TheMinuteMasters thank you ! Will re check it !

[@RoLee-jd2ti]

What transmissions can you use in a 1995 ford f150 v6 manual truck? Like what year trucks could id pull it out of

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s a good question. I’m not a transmission swap expert, but I think a couple of Ford transmissions can be installed behind your V6. I would post your question in a forum or the OBS Revolution Facebook page and see what information you get.

[@lucasshehan7119]

Hey I hope you can get to my comment but I have a 95 f150 with a 5.8 and an e40od trans. I’m putting another 5.8 back into the truck. I’m just confused now because on the left side looking from the front of the engine there looks to be two alignment dowels one in the trans and one in the bell housing. I don’t believe that is normal just let me know your opinion about it and or how to get the one out of the trans.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

If I remember correctly, there should be an alignment down in the back of the engine and an alignment dowel in the Bell housing of the transmission and they are opposite each other. Are you saying there are two alignment dowels on the same side which is making it impossible to fit them together? I’ve never removed an alignment dowel. But I’m sure there’s a way to get them out.

[@RedLightJhunkie]

Does the torque converter push back enough to allow the ability to line up the bolts separately from the dowel pins when you install the transmission or do you have line up the dowel pins torque converter bolts all at one time when you install it

[@TheMinuteMasters]

They have to be lined up at the same time. It sounds more difficult than it is. The dowel pins will start to line up and insert sooner than the torque converter studs, but not by much.

[@RedLightJhunkie]

What camera do you use to record these videos? Is it a smartphone? And do you have an external mic for recording audio?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I used an iPhone for all my videos and no external mic. I tried a lavaliere mic a few times but it’s difficult to preview footage on my phone with it plugged in.

[@oldsoulgarage2982]

@@TheMinuteMasters Man everyone uses iPhones for their vids. Lol, it's most likely the camera quality compared to androids. I asked because I'm thinking about starting my own channel I got tons of projects I could film and have been looking around for a good setup so the audience can see the full extent of what I'm working on. BTW I love the obs ford build, OBS fords are the best-looking 90's truck. I have an 89 brick nose which is a close runner up but the front end of the OBS looks so much better. Personally, I love the 300 inline 6 as my favorite engine compared to the v8's they have great torque and such a unique sound for an old engine design. Keep up the great vids!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@oldsoulgarage2982 The video quality is phenomenal and if you own an iPhone it’s less equipment to buy. Other channels use actually photography camera set on video mode. That seems to be the most superior way of filming but obviously there’s a higher cost and tech learning curve. Nice! I would do it man!

[@andrewlyle4618]

I just reinstalled my transmission got two torque converter bolts on but when I turn my crankshaft it won’t budge? And all the bell housing bolts are in and tight.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Really? Do you think everything is seated properly? Is the torque converter itself properly seated inside the transmission bell housing? If the crank is just plain hard to turn, a lot of people suggest pulling spark plugs so that the pistons have an easier time compressing.

[@andrewlyle4618]

I’m starting to think the torque converter isn’t seated properly in the Bell housing. The engine turned over just fine when I removed it. it’s so stuck that it started to loosen the bolt to the pulley on the crankshaft. But I can’t believe I got Two bolts on the torque converter on and it’s still not seated correctly so I don’t know.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@andrewlyle4618 It sounds like to. I would unbolt the bell housing and push the trans back. Then verify that the TC is seated properly.

Just a few more steps.

[@youareanythingbutordinary4511]

I have a 96 ford e150 5.8 that has a hard time shifting into 2 and up and there’s not much help on the internet would you know some reasons why?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

First and foremost, make sure that your fluid is in good condition and that it’s at the proper level when at operating temperature with the engine on. You can buy a transmission pressure gauge and screw it into the test port on the drivers side of the transmission. Then you can check the pressure needed to shift gears.
