I have to say, this has been one of the best automotive instructional video series I have ever watched. Your deliberate style and the fact that you didn't gloss over even the most mundane details made this incredibly informative and educational. In addition, your camera work, lighting and hand work are the most professional I have seen, including videos by large, automotive manufacturing companies. Honestly, before I watched this, I had no intention of ever rebuilding an automatic transmission. It has always seemed like black magic to me. However, now I feel confident that I can do it as long as I stick to your method of breaking each area of the transmission down into manageable tasks. Ol' Henry Ford was right! Sincerest thanks for this series!

[@eddiestanley7017]

James Williams is the best I'm going to be next to him

[@cromaxs]

I have to comment the videos are absolutely 💯 percent the best KZbin has to offer. I am so happy these video classes are for the same transmission I am rebuilding. I mean he even tells you where to put to put your parts and everything m even shows you each part as he removes it. My only regret is that I wish I could of found these videos before I took it apart because I didn't know where to put my screws bolts exceeds I just put everything in s plastic tube but I have faith these videos will get me through the entire assembly. I highly recommend watching them if you are an amateur doing your own rebuilt because your can't afford to get a new one or a shop to rebuild it for you.

[@andrewpeters4642]

I just finished overhauling my 4R75E (2005 F150 FX4) with your incredible videos. The videos were absolutely fantastic and brilliantly made. The attention to detail in videography, descriptions, and lesson planning far exceed anything I’ve ever seen on KZbin or elsewhere. I could not have completed the overhaul without your helpful videos. Thank you!!

[@rodolfovillarreal5]

Finally!!! Someone who i could easily follow the step by step lessons and not get all confused. Saved myself a bunch of money and learned a great deal about disassembling and assembling the 4r70w. Thank you sir.

[@heradio1000]

I rarely comment in KZbin. But you Sr, are the best teacher I have seen. These videos are perfectly done, and your explanations very clear. After watching these videos, I feel competent to tackle my 4R75E if needed. Thanks so much.

I started with this video series to rebuild my 2008 F150 2wd transmission. It's a good place to start, and the ATG tech manual is an excellent companion for more details. I ended up installing and removing the transmission a total of 5 times for different issues. The first time was for a massive leak at the bellhousing, which was so bad I could only drive it back up on the ramps and shut down. I had followed the advice to add 4 qts fluid before startup, then add more once the engine was running. I burned the forward and direct frictions by starting it with fluid that low. The second time, I replaced the clutches but couldn't find anything that would cause the bellhousing leak; the seal was good and the rebuilt torque converter pressure checked good. It leaked again on reinstallation. Third time, I found the converter stator bushing had moved forward about half an inch and bottomed out on the pump seal, apparently from the torque converter binding on the bushing as I tightened up the four nuts. That blocked the return cavity drain for the bushing lube circuit. Fourth time it went in I had no leaks, but the transmission was starting in second sometimes and had some weird shifting behavior. The initial complaint was a delay and then a big jump when selecting Drive; it still did that, even with the full rebuild. I pulled out all the stops for the last time it came out. Although I installed a Sonnax sure cure kit, I was unable to install the two oversized valves, since I did not have and wasn't interested in investing in the hundreds of dollars in tooling. The pressure regulator valve was scuffed and a new standard size valve did not help at all. I decided to buy a Sonnax stock level rebuilt valve body from RA online, since all of my clutches, bands, servos and accumulators air checked good with a test plate. After the valve body and final reinstallation in the truck, the truck drove and shifted great, every shift! It cured the delay going in forward problem and the starting in second gear problem. Right now I have about 600 miles on the rebuild and have experienced zero issues.

[@thomasl1586]

I would like to thank you for creating these videos. I never would have attempted to rebuild my 4r70w without your fantastic instructions. Thank you

[@rayalara901]

this is one of the best videos I watched thank you

[@halleffect1]

Finally finished my 4R75. these videos made it possible. thanks so much.

[@drewkaplin6514]

There need to be more people like this in the world. Thank you Mr. Williams for your knowledge, as others have stated, this is amazing for those who want to learn. I have always feared working on these types of components. Everyone always talks about how futile it is to try to repair automatic transmissions. Of course I always believed that not to be true, that it was possible, given the right knowledge, and determination. I always wondered what black magic was going on in that bizarre aluminum housing, and alas, I have found Mr. Jimmy Williams, the Bob Ross of transmission repair. (insert heavenly chorus) you will go down in internet history for sharing your epic knowledge with the world kind sir!

[@tygertyger8597]

James, this series of videos are the best I have ever seen on KZbin on any subject matter. An excellent presentation done with meticulous care. I wish all KZbinrs would follow your example. I have a 2000 P71 Crown Vic with this transmission that is working ok (155,000 miles) except it has the annoying shudder under light acceleration. According to another video I have seen, that problem can be fixed with a few new components in the valve body.

[@bobbybenning6525]

Your an amazing instructor I'm a carpenter by trade but your videos saved me 1000s

[@jerambelu]

Thank you for your detailed videos. Not only have you removed much of the mystery of an automatic, but you've given me the confidence to overhaul my 4R75E on my own.

[@frankmorgan5234]

Enough said already, you are the gold standard!!!

[@larrygriffin7024]

I just want to say thank you I really learned something here from you

[@oldmanwoodworkerenk4916]

One of the very best described workshop videos.Thank you for showing this. Wished they would have had this kind of places to get knowhow.

[@geeloove7536]

Mr James you are the greatest thank you for time you taught me along and saved me money that I don't have many blessings to you sir🙏😇💯👍

[@mkairsofters8808]

This is so useful! I live in the UK and no one knows how rebuild a crown vic transmission. But thanks to you I can do this myself 😁

[@abdulhassan1107]

Important: If you miss to do 1:00:30 correctly, your engine will not start so pay very good attention to it and follow the instruction literally. Thank you for the excellent video.

[@quentinjoseph4483]

This video series is a masterpiece of work and should be celebrated. You inspire a person to make the impossible a reality. It was extremely satisfying to watch this video and know that I am capable of doing this as well. Thank you for your time and expertise.

[@peterplascencia6301]

I want to thank you for your instructional videos on 4R75E. I just did my first repair on a 2005 f150 5.4 FX4 transmission that had no reverse. Installed the whole kit like on your videos. Works great. Thank you.

[@rogerdc7279]

Thank you very much for this series of videos. I had no idea how it looks like inside, and I will have to rebuild my 4R75E on my F150. I have never seen mechanical instruction videos as good as these and the instructions and explanations are axceptionally good. Thank you

[@marcossoto3960]

I want to say THANK YOU!! This lessons are the best automotive lessons that I ever saw, clear, clean and easy to follow. A very professional instructor, congratulations and thank you again, you save me a lot of time, money and bad moments with rookie mechanics.

[@israelvargas6683]

This is the best educational video I ever seen. The instructor is awesome. Thanks for share this video.

[@gonashfreeman1325]

Just finished my 4R70W. Couldnt have done it without these videos. Well done!

[@kevinplummer6560]

Mr. Williams that was fantastic. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

[@miguelpilapil2375]

thanks for the video series, best video on transmission repair in youtube

[@transmissionbench7842]

Miguel Pilapil thank you

[@chuygarza1505]

I can't thank you enough; these videos are really helpful.

[@MannWayne]

Thank you so much. This is a fantastic series. I am a very good mechanic, but I would have never tackled this project without your help.

[@jimmyp1811]

Your video series is the best thing I've ever come across on the internet. Tore down and rebuilt my F150 4R75E. I wish I could buy you some beers!!!

[@davemcdermott856]

The best instructional video I have ever watched! Thank you

[@MrUbiquitousTech]

I just finished this amazing series, thank you very much for all of this information, it really does take a lot of mystery out of automatic transmissions and shows us they are indeed user-serviceable. Well done, the filming, the teaching, the whole format is great! Thank you again!

[@johannahscott8817]

great video series. i just finished rebuilding my 99 4r70w. wouldnt have been possible without these videos

[@KilroggWOW]

James Williams, you are a... patient man and I thank you very much for this quality step by step by step video series. Thank you

[@Dyingtolive999]

Thank you sir I couldn’t have done it without you, please continue what your doing KZbin lacks in mechanical knowledge that we should all know.

[@MRZ28DAD]

Thank you so much! Best instructional video out there for the 4R75E. No second guessing.

[@rzjk301]

Best transmission tutorial ever. Now I need to order a rebuild kit for my 4R70W.

[@jeff3741]

The 4R70W transmission in my truck is doing just fine. I watched this whole video series just because. I watched the Transmission Bench video to repair my 700R4 last year and it works great.

[@jeff3741]

@WorldRenownedCFE 🎤 I didn't get a kit exactly. I bought most of the bits individually from eBay and Amazon. The parts list is in the comments of the video posted at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWXCXmOZjbqEqqM. The Transmission Bench folks have a kit. transmissionbench.com/700R4parts.html

[@CrikeyMang]

This Kit from Sonnax has been replaced with a different Part# and now referred to as Zip Kit. The Sure Cure kit is different from this one now and requires other tooling to bore the valvebody. Current Part# for this kit used in the video is AODE-4R75E-ZIP

[@grantfairchild7445]

I just want to say thank you sooooo much for these videos. They have been so helpful in rebuilding my transmission, especially when i didn't have $2,000 to take it to a shop and get it done. Reinstalling the transmission today and hopefully it all goes well and i can drive my truck again.

[@craphittingthefan2360]

Thank You James most of the other guys go too fast, I end up watching your video instead, I believe this might end up as my new retirement plan to rebuild the 4R75 type tranny's, I am just finishing mine tomorrow, I sure hope it works setting the input shaft was not covered in this Video but Sonnax helped my out with that problem.

[@Th3R0adWarr10r]

Amazing video series, best I've ever seen. I could not have done it without Transmission Bench videos. All I will say is that in lesson four I wanted to shoot those teflon and steel seals on the stator support when trying to size them and stop getting failed air leaks (was leaking horribly no matter what I tried from out the stat support rings reverse and forward). Eventually with enough lube and resizing and compressing the teflons and steels it stopped the crossleak down to marginal amount. I am forever in your debt for making this amazing video series! Great job!

[@normanhardin4413]

I was going to have this done by others, but after watching this I think I can work it through. I'll buy a decent used tranny first and have it ready to swap (don't want to risk down time if odd parts are needed to be replaced). Thank you sir, it was a great set of real-time videos that added the truth of the build that allows others to have the confidence.

[@omerekaonline]

Excellent videolessons. Thank you very much. And thanks for your slow talk, I am Russian, but I understand it all.

[@thomasgarcia1667]

Very very informative with a excellent instructor, you sir have built up my confidence in taking on the job of doing it myself. After I get all the parts and equipment that I will need.

[@brucefulper4204]

You sir, teach at exactly the speed I need. Perfect!!!

[@donjackson8816]

Thank you this is one of life's blessing. Don

[@JustMike2791]

Have to watch it at 2x speed to keep from falling asleep. The instructor reminds me of Ferris Bueller's teacher saying 'Bueller....Bueller....' Great video!

[@bradkerwin4286]

Thank you. Very well done! And greatly appreciated! Your the man!!!

[@AZRRacing]

AWESOME! Very informative. Have done many transmission rebuilds before, learned a lot from this series.

[@aslant9246]

thank you so much for this video mr. williams! very impressive quality in every aspect

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Amazing video series. Thank you for producing it. If my 4r70w in my f150 ever goes, I will definitely try rebuilding it myself using your parts.

[@bobtenwick]

6 years later and this video is still bearing fruit. I just repaired my stepson's F150 saving him at least $1800.00. One mistake at 44:32, there are 25 8-mm bolts not 27. An absolute stellar video and if you can't rebuild a 4R70W using this resource you haven't read enough Henry Ford quotes. No excuses.

[@ingdanielrodriguez9981]

please activate the subtitles, I am very grateful for your videos, I learn a lot

I deeply appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos with step by step instructions on how to rebuild the transmission. I am going to tackle this project myself with the help of you videos and advice. Also, thank you for the resources on where to order parts. Lastly, my biggest concern now is how to properly remove and reinstall the transmission from and back onto my 2002 F-150 4-wheel drive. Do you know of a resource that illustrates this comprehensively? Many thanks!

[@aag6499]

Awesome!!!!

[@stephenwilkins2960]

Great video series enjoyed watching it really helped since it's been 10 yrs since my last 4r70w build one question I have is what the symptoms of the transmission range sensor

Thank so much well done video. This video could also be used in a example how to make a video !!!

[@michaelfrancis3261]

good day i live down in the Bahamas and really learning a lot from your videos. I'm working on a 2004 jag X-type (JF506E). i chance the fluid in it to Max-life and now it's not taking reverse. no i didn't take out the band anchor bolt. just chance the fluid. after getting no reverse i opened it to find the band broken. i chanced it out and still no reverse. at idle i'm getting 95psi at the Reverse Clutch Pressure Tap. I never adjusted the SERVO PISTON. thank you so much for your help
