How to Replace Transmission Filter and Upgrade Pan with Drain Plug | 1995 Ford F150

[@luisvalenz3324]

It's also a good idea to remove the old gasket on the filter the orange/ brown one that goes on the tube This guy left it on top it's noticeable when he installed the new filter plus the old filter had no gasket when he was explaining about the magnet on the pan Keep your day job man!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I saw that and removed it after I had shot that part of the install.

[@jeffreyshelnut4507]

best tech tip ever for the ford trans, AOD, AODE, and 4R70 change teh filter and drain and fill every second or 3rd oil change and the trans will last forever. Most of the truck torque converters have a drain plug on them also, so they can be drained through the inspection hole.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Very good tips! Thanks people never flush transmission fluid or change the filter.

[@joeidaho5938]

Very nice. I have an oversized Derale Transmission pan with a drain plug. Haven't done a fluid change yet....but it will be so incredibly easier than it used to be.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nice! I looked at those oversize pans a while back. I never jumped at it then, but having a drain plug is awesome.

@@joeidaho5938 Sort of. My father-in-law built a machine shed last year for his apple orchard. He let me take up some space to do the transmission video. Someday I’ll have a garage of my own.🤙

@@joeidaho5938 Yup! It’s definitely a luxury for me that I will try to use as often as possible.

[@TimCaldwell-d2z]

It looked like the transmission filter left the gasket up in the trans when the filter was pulled out. Then the new filter was installed with the same gasket.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You are correct. I pulled it out off camera once I saw it there.

Excellent video like always buddy excellent video Francisco here

Thanks Francisco!🤙

Will be replacing my old OEM pan with new with drain on my 89 and 90 Bronco 2's ! Isn't there a trans screen to be cleaned prior to installing filter? Thanks for video will be checking Haines book for torque setting bolts!

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Nice! There’s no screens that I’m aware of.

[@bdwren]

Good Upgrade, thought about using a Deeper 4wd Pan, for more fluid and cooling ,would also need a longer 4wd Dipstick

[@TheMinuteMasters]

The 4wd has a deeper pan? I didn’t know that. That’s a sweet upgrade for more fluid capacity.

[@fredcloud9668]

The dipstick doesn't know how deep the pan is.

[@nickpanhead7209]

Another great video and job

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Nick!🤙

[@dougstrickland5947]

so it's cool to run your engine and run all the automatic transmission fluid out of it while the engine is running . ?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yup! Perfectly cool!

Nice, what type of tires and rims you got on your truck? I have a 4.9 i6 stick shift, I'm trying to make it look a little nicer...

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I have a set of white steel wheels. 15x8. They are wrapped in 31” Firestone ATs. For a stock truck, I think 31 inch tires look really good.

[@edgarsanchez6856]

I have a 1993 ford with 152k miles would you recommend changing transmission filter and oil?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yes. However, old fluid has a way of making worn out transmissions work. So if you have shifting issues post fluid change, that is why.

[@mikalvesper1772]

​@@TheMinuteMasters Can you not just reuse the old fluid minus the stuff that you lost just add new on top of that

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@mikalvesper1772 I have reused the old fluids if they’re in good condition.

[@oldsoulgarage2982]

Did the radiator leak coolant into the trans? How is the fluid in the old transmission pan green like that?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I used a UV dye to find a transmission leak.

[@oldsoulgarage2982]

@@TheMinuteMasters ok. Have you ever had to change the solenoid pack on your e40d? Ik those transmissions can be finicky. I just got one and only have reverse no forward gears at all and I topped the fluid level off. And its clean. Any thoughts?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@oldsoulgarage2982 I haven’t but most are accessible once you remove the transmission pan. You can try replacing them and see if that fixes your issues. However, changing your fluid can have the negative result of causing issues. Sometimes dirty fluid can actually make work gear clutches work. For a test I would try to find a transmission “slip fix” additive. If that makes it work, then you will probably need a rebuild. If it doesn’t then it might be worth exploring a new valve body or changing out those solenoids.

[@michaelbingham2219]

Would this pan fit on my e4od ? I’m assuming not. Just not too sure

[@TheMinuteMasters]

This particular pan won’t but I’m sure a manufacturer makes a drain plug pan for an e40d.

[@IvanGonzalez-i9n]

What fluid did you used

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Mercon V

[@vex9680]

i have a 94 with a 4.9 and whenever i start it up it revs really high for a few second and then goes back down to normal idle rpms. any idea? ive thought it may be a stuck throttle plate or the IAC

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Does it rev abnormally high? Typically when you start a vehicle, the engine stays at a higher rpm range until it warms up.

[@vex9680]

@@TheMinuteMasters i dont have a tach so i cant measure the rpms bur id sau ir revs at maybe 2500 rpms for a few seconds then goes back down to 1000 as it warms up

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@vex9680 that sounds about right. My truck does the same thing. I think with these older trucks, it seems louder than newer cars though.

[@fredcloud9668]

Speed sensor on trans or maybe an idle bypass valve.

[@jeremyday2624]

My truck has 175 thousand miles on it autamatic transmission I have heard that it is bad to change it so close to 200 thousand miles if it has never been changed before does anyone have some advice as to weather I should change it or not?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

You are probably right. I changed the fluid one mine for this video and now my overdrive light is blinking. Lol Old furry fluid can make these transmission work and new fluid can make an old transmission not work.

[@mikalvesper1772]

Can you reuse the old fluid that you save and just mix it with some new

[@joshmiller7870]

Hi does anyone know if 1995 fords used single or 4 port/spray hole injectors? Fsb And obs forums not 100% on this. >reason I ask, guys are claiming if you swap out old single hole/port injectors to newer 1996-1998 ford explorer that have same lbs, they have 4 holes/ports to spray gas and this increases MPG due to better atomization. But only makes sense if you have old single hole spraying injectors.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I was told in 95 they definitely had the four port injectors.

[@joshmiller7870]

@@TheMinuteMasters Thank you buddy. You are top dude when it comes to obs info! Btw I seen a few of the guys on FSB forum mention about installing a second catch can. One more between PCV and intake.

You guys are right. I did leave it in there by accident. I was surprised that the filter did not seat all the way but also equally surprised the filter stayed in there. I ended up doing another fluid flush and I found it removed it.

HEYY QUICK WARNING thats the wrong filter dude!! Thay pickup cant reach the bottom of the new pan, you have to get the 4r100 filter aswell!!! I really hope you see this! Edit: Im wrong, thats the right one, ima leave this up tho as some might not know that you do need to get a different filter too.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Really? So the 4r70w filter won’t reach to the bottom of the 4r70w pan? Is the 4r100 an upgrade or does it work better?

[@sucio-]

@@TheMinuteMasters hey, i was confused I thought you had an e40d which is identical to the 4r100 except weaker if im not wrong, they share a pan except the 4r100 has the deeper pan with a drain plug Tho im not sure about the 70’s filter reaching the 100’s pan.

[@sucio-]

@@TheMinuteMastersbut the 4r100 is the beefier transmission of 10th gen, built to handle the 7.3 from the f250 and 350 line of 99 but was also put in the 150’s , the pan and some internals still fit the old e40d design
