I used to be a transmission builder before I became an attorney, and I made some how to videos to help people with their own transmissions. Although I no longer build transmissions for a living, I still have a passion for the skill. Any questions or advice regarding transmissions, I would be more than happy to answer them so just leave a post and I will respond shortly. Enjoy!
Nice!! I use ("The Hill Billy Stomp method") hammer too!! Why buy unneeded tools when just ("A TAP A TAPPY") A quick yank or tap on the table ("Hill Billy Stomp") will do?
Hey buddy I just rebuilt mine how hard should the output shaft be to turn after complete mine turns but take two hands it's pretty tight and input is alot easier to turn
I believe this is what’s in my 05 Mercury grand marquis 260k miles (or the R475w) that’s on its way out I saw you wrote you no longer rebuild them and where located in nyc (I’m from the Bronx myself ) could you recommend a good shop ?
Hey, you're correct that I used to live in NY, and that I don't rebuild much anymore. I'm actually an attorney and I rebuilt transmissions when I was in school. I did it for extra money back in the day. Also, I moved down south about two years ago, so I lost most of my old connections and wouldn't feel comfortable recommending any place.
hi matt im building a 2007 4R75E , had to replace the direct drum, gear train and the front band was toast. my question is on the direct clutch can i get away with the clearance being under .060? clutch frictions spin nice but clearance is under the minimum. thanks doug
Ya, absolutely works great below.060 direct clutch pack. They make different thickness steels, clutches, and snap-rings for the direct drum. I set them with a small clearance, closer to.030". Sounds like you're fixing the general 4R70-75 boat anchor. I always change ALL the accumulators, all the bushings, and use a transgo shift kit. Also, a new EPC solenoid would be a good investment for your build. Good luck!
hi matt my buddy races crown vics in indiana, his car is a 2004. i have some older cores id like to build him a nice, full manual shift unit. any tips on that would be great. thanks doug
I have a 2007ford f150 that's had two speed censoree can I replace it with a transmission that has one or what can I do to make it work what doi have to change. Internally L Mcdaniel
I hate to be a dick but if somebody's watching your video trying to figure out how to rebuild a transmission they don't have a prayer. I mean the idea of filming something is to actually point the camera where you're doing s*** and film it not walk away from the camera and shove your arm down in somewhere and don't show what way something win or what you know what what points where I mean if you're making a video about how to put something together then film how you put it together for f*** sake man
Best Ford transmission was the C6. I had one in my 1986 F150 it lasted over 350,000 miles when I got rid of truck after the second engine rebuild. First engine lasted 200,000. I changed engine oil every 3000 and transmission fluid every 25000. I also always put magnet on engine oil filter and one on transmission pan. That common gear problem is engineered in that transmission. Just low grade gear. Great the case wears out, they could of used a bushing. Great video, you sure know that transmission.
He didnt even show or tell what the things were that fell out when he took off the pan after turning the transmisson upside down.This video is not a learing its a showing.
Hey, genius..... in the time you spent spamming the comments you could have watched the video frame by frame and figured out the answer.... or maybe you don't have enough common sense. 1. The "things" that fell out when he removed the pan were pan bolts. It works like this.... Before removing the trans you have to drain it. Since there is no drain plug you remove the pan. Since you're going to disassemble the trans anyway you reinstall the pan with only a few bolts after tossing the remaining bolts into the pan.... tends to keep everything together. 2. Shift soleniods are mounted in the valve body retaining tabs that are nearly always held in with screws. No transmission on the planet has parts that "fall" out when you turn it upside down.
Not that bad at all for be the first time!!!🤪🤪🤪😝😝😝😝💔💔💔🤜💥🤛💯👶🤝🎂 basically you just going to use the same bellhousing and rear tail oil ring housing, maybe some used ATF.

ok so i bought a used trans,,, the guy installing it says it dont fit..ok so if i bought a rebuilt kit for mine that he took out how do i know the kit will fit if all the transmissions are so dam different. it will be cheaper to get a 500.00 kit and rebuilt then taking another chance on buying something that looks like it will and because the seller say it will
Estoy reparando esa misma transmision perono e pedido los respuestos los engranes los planetarios son de 4 es difícil encontramos hay de 6 planetario es necesario q sean de 4
@@SilverBullet93GT I drove 4800 miles June of '21 from south Floriduh to Anchorage, AK in an '06 F150 4WD 4.6L 4R70E. I was hauling a 5x8 U-Haul way overweight and other than it using over $2k worth of gas, it didn't miss a beat. I rebuilt it (my first rebuild) two years ago, used a non magnetic sun shell, red frictions, valve body work, SureCure overdrive kit and it shifts like it has a shift kit going in to overdrive if I'm getting on it. It's a great trans. I keep it cool and the fluid clean. Nice work this guy does.
Can you please tell me what the name of the thin metal with a roller bearing on the end of it is called ? It is for the shifter but mine is broken and need a new one
From my research: 1) broken overdrive snap ring holding a piston open, 2) 2/3 accumulator punching a hole in the seperator plate or 3) broken direct drum/smoked direct drum clutches.
@@Chrisbuildsstuff247 i think regular gasoline might be even better. as it easily cleans that oil sludge and drys out fast. . juts dont put it on new rubber seals or friction plates. same with diesel ))) . i flashed a tranny with diesel once, and friction plates turned to dust the very next day. ))
I have a 2002 Ford Mustang with about 150k miles on it and it’s having some major hesitation issues and it feels like it’s shifting late. It has almost no acceleration and I can barely make it down the road. Any ideas what it could be i think it could be the transmission but I do t wanna jump to conclusions it is an automatic by the way. And it could have a bunk tune but I’ve reset the computer by disconnect the battery. Also there is no check engine lights. Do you know what it might be?
at 9:24 that part your pulled apart from the pump. There is that gear that goes around the iinput shaft, that bigger gear. It broke off on mine what would cause that to break?
Matt, will a 80's - 93 direct clutch drum from an AOD work in a 03 - 08 4R75W? They look just alike from the shaft splines and ect .... and I know they are stronger and done good in them older cars vs these junk ones of today. Please let me know.
If the spring breaks in 2nd accumulator, then the trans will have a hard 1-2 shift, but it's drivable. It wouldn't rattle your teeth but it can get annoying. This was a very common problem with these early units. And if you were unlucky, the spring would shatter into little pieces and those little pieces of metal would get stuck in the accumulator bore and rip the seal. As a matter of practice, I always change both the springs and the accumulator in every rebuild.
