How to Remove a Transmission By Yourself | 1995 Ford F150

[@itsnotzen64]

Missed the premier, even though I'm taking the easy route this time around paying someone else to do the work (complete rebuild) to get warranty and save time and space. I've done this a couple times over the years twice to deal with rear main seal issues but it's nice to watch someone else do it. I really like these Fords and working on them.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Not a problem man! I’ll probably take the easy way out if I have an issue as well. I’ve checked the box on this type of thing twice.

[@dragonrider9051]

Now for the hard part, taking it apart and putting it back together better then the engineer cause you have extra parts still after it's all done.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Hahahaha! Actually, I had no bolts leftover. I know…I tried improving the design. Lol

[@bobbywren123]

I've seen them put Ratchet Straps under the Transmission, so you can pull the Jack out and lower it with them.

[@jacobchandler2083]

@@bobbywren123 this could work decently with 2 comealongs and a the cable held in place on like a creeper. Trans sits on creeper and you lower it down

[@chrisbukowski865]

Definitely a shift kit in it. My 94 f150 has it in it and boy what a difference. Wish the factory would have installed them in the 90s.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@chrisbukowski865 I have a TransGo shift kit and I love it. It wakes up the transmission big time!🤙

[@goldwingdudehalbert4458]

You need to try to find a block of wood or something you can wedge between the motor and the firewall when you pull out the transmission from the motor. I had a shop pull my transmission one time and the motor fell back against the firewall and broke off some of the emissions piping going to the EGR valve. Didn't realize it till I got it home. Great videos! I appreciate it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks for the tip!🤙 Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@dannyjones8546]

Been waiting to comment on this. Had a rear main seal leak that I wanted to fix. No idea how to do it except pay heaps for someone else to do it. Job now done, so thanks for the excellent tutorials. For guys like me who can do it,but just don’t know how, these are excellent. Loved the one about the bonnet/hood latch with the aftermarket grill. Have a chuckle every time I see one now.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Yeah, people in a lot of money to replace rear main seal’s. It’s a lot of work, but I think anybody can do it. If you want an even bigger chuckle. When I was filming that, I actually slipped and fell 😂

[@joeidaho5938]

I installed a Derale transmission pan....with a drain plug...when I rebuilt my tranny 2 years ago. Very nice feature to have. Removing the pan is a messy job....when you are doing it at home. The AODE /4R70W looks more manageable than the E4od which looks like a bigger and heavier tranny....on my own truck. E4od weighs about twice as much....lol.

[@joeidaho5938]

Stevie.,...for taking off cooler lines, you definitely need to use two wrenches. One to hold the larger nut in place....and the other to loosen the smaller one, as you did in the video. If you only use the one wrench, you risk turning both....and twisting your cooler line. That happened to me once....so beware. I think you were fortunate on loosening your cooler lines this time around. Same is the case when you're reinstalling them. Need to always use two wrenches when loosening or tightening cooler lines.,,,to ensure one turns...and the other does not turn.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s a good point Joe! These had been loosened before when the transmission was rebuilt and then loosened when I rebuilt it again myself. But for others who have never touch the transmission, it is definitely a good idea to use two wrenches.

[@Bore_Punch]

Another easy way to loosen torque converter bolts is to use a pry bar or screw driver on the teeth of the flex plate. Also use a jack to support the engine as tilts back when you pull the trans off.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll keep that in mind if I do this again. I’ll have to get a taller jack stand to support the engine.

[@danielmiller3967]

Just a little tip, if you use those wobble sockets..wrap a little bit of electric tape around the elbow part of it. That allows it to still move around but keeps it from just flopping everywhere

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Good tip! I like it!🤙

[@Jerrylbee]

Another great video! 🔥 I need to fix the linkage in my 2010 E250 van. Was replaced under warranty last year but the warranty company ordered the wrong model, and I no longer have low gear. Drive and second is it.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks Jerry! That sucks. At least it’s accessible fix right on the side of the transmission.

[@Vodnik110]

I am so jealous. The first time I dropped my transmission by myself, I had a 40 dollar Walmart jack, a bottle jack from who knows when and 2 ratchet straps. My transmission is not small, 92 e40d mated to the 7.5L, weighs almost twice my weight the new one does. I turned the flywheel by using some square stock and pushing it, I don't even want to talk about how many times I cranked the 460 over with the bar on a fly wheel, also I HAD to remove my collector to get the dumb thing out cause it's just a big Y-pipe that would block the trans from coming out, well fun fact, it was too big to just plop out so I had to wrestle it around and actually remove it from the front by bringing it under the ttb axle (absolute nightmare, there ARE easier ways). All in all after getting screwed over numerous times on transmissions and just not being smart enough I've dropped the transmission like 5 times, finally got a built one from monster transmission, put it in, now my rear main is going. If anyone wants more stories let me know lol but yeah I hate transmissions now (For anyone curious it's a 92 f250 XLT Lariat 7.5L 460ci 169,000k on body 30k on crate engine and like 5 on stage 3 race transmission with Thor torque converter 1300-1600 Stall Multi-Clutch Billet Lid, on 35s with quick video on my channel)

[@Vodnik110]

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST LUCK WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION THAT YOU NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I DEALT WITH, though you don't seem like an idiot, like me, so you already got a head start

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Wow!! That sounds like a nightmare! But hey, you got it done and you have a pretty good idea of better methods to get the job done if you ever do it again.

[@MapleMarmite]

Great tutorial on a job I hope I never have to do! However there is some leakage between the engine and transmission that will need attention at some point…. Thanks for taking the time to film it - I know how much longer it makes the job. 👍🏻

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 Yeah I hope this is my last too! Lol if you have a leak between your engine and transmission it’s typically the rear main seal. I filmed how to do that after I removed the transmission for this video. You’re welcome! It definitely adds a good 30 minutes to an hour to each project depending on what it is.

[@bernardlock2728]

@@TheMinuteMasters I had my mechanic trying to find out why my tranny downshifts all the time when the engine gets hot. I can drive it for hours before the shifting problems happen. He finally found the problem and said it was some electrical connector on the transmission that is getting leaked on. He did not say exactly what it was but said the connector can only come from Ford. He told me to take it to a transmission shop since they do not work on transmissions and he is a retired Ford Service guy who opened his own shop. He said back in the day he worked on the these model F150 truck you have. What electrical connector he was talking about?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@bernardlock2728 There are three electricians connectors on the outside of the transmission. I wonder if that’s what he’s referring to. I show you how to disconnect them in this video. Otherwise the only other electrical connectors are inside the transmission. You can see them if you take the transmission pan off. Now that I think of it. I think one of the shift related electrical sensors is inside the transmission pan.

[@bernardlock2728]

@@TheMinuteMasters I think he not say it was on the outside of the transmission but he said it was getting fluid on it. It it was on the outside, would I have a transmission leak on the ground? There is no evidence of a transmission leak while it is parked so could it be happening while it was driven? It would need to be replaced which is why is he said I need to take it to a transmission shop. Do you know what the name of it to say to Ford so I can order the part?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

@@bernardlock2728 That’s hard to say if an external look would fault one of the sensors. The sensor could be exposed on the inside too. Unfortunately, I don’t know the names or part numbers for any of the sensors. I would try searching the harness to see what the plugs go too.

Great video and it looks like the transmission jack stand is a big help. Dumb question but why doesn’t the transmission casing need a gasket to prevent leaks? Obviously the seal seems to be fine when torqued but it had me wondering.

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Thanks man!🤙 The transmission jack is a huge help. I’m not even sure how you would do this repair comfortably, safely, and efficiently without one. So the transmission bell housing does not need a gasket up against the back of the engine because no fluids are being contained.

How much easier is it to remove the trans vs the engine? I know you have had the pleasure of doing both! Thanks

[@TheMinuteMasters]

Very good question! I think pulling a transmission is easier. There’s less to disconnect and you can’t scratch the body. Removing an engine involves disconnecting quite a bit and you can risk scratches and damage as you hoist it in and out. With that said, I would be afraid to do one versus the other.

[@johnbennett6887]

@@TheMinuteMasters Do you think it would be easier to remove the oil pan (to replace the gasket) if the trans is out? Thanks

What tools did you use if I may ask?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

A transmission jack, 1/2” impact gun, and torque wrench are the three most important tools that make this job easier. Otherwise, typical socket sets and wrenches are all that are needed for the rest of the work. You will need a 13mm socket with the star pattern (12 points) to remove the four drive shaft bolts.

What’s the chance of twisting a bolt off or breaking one off because my 95 is 27 years old?

[@TheMinuteMasters]

I think your chances are pretty slim. The bell housing bolts are fairly large and hefty. You may need a little heat or some penetrating oil for the crossmember bolts. The torque converter to flex plate nuts should come off fine.
