There is a pump inside the transmission that moves fluid through the system. That will refill the torque converter.

Excellent video, A few pointers to add; 1: the factory elastomeric pan gasket from 94 up is reusable,,,it NEVER goes bad,,,,its even stamped on the pan (reusable gasket) 2: the e4od 4x4 models in 97 and 98had drain plugs.,,, 3::all factory convertors built before 6-2001 have a drain plug,,,ford stopped installing drain plugs 7-2001 4:: when changing the fluid and filter in the pan and convertor,,,it will need minimum 12 quarts,, 5::: a completely empty e4od/4r100 will hold 16-18 quarts. 6,,,12 quarts can safely be added to an empty transmission without starting the engine,,,without risking overflowing out of the vent 7:::when checking fluid level,,, always read the lower side of the stick,,,that is the correct side and level.. 8:::no thread sealant is necessary on the convertor drain plug. 9: when checking level,,,engage the trans into each gear for 5 seconds,,, ,all the way down to manual 1st and back again,,then check the dipstick. 10:::always match the filter to the pan,, All 99 up 2wd superdutys took a 4x4 pan even though they were 2wd,, Putting a 2wd filter in a 4x4 pan will cause the trans to fail!!!!

Brian, thank you sincerely for taking the time to share this video with the community. I am a savvy technically adept guy, but on something like this that I haven’t tackled in YEARS, it was very nice to see a refresher course. You explain things very thoroughly and slowly….making it super EZ to follow sir! I’m doing a B&M deep pan on my ‘93 F150 4x4 with 27K original miles. Fluid was serviced once in its lifetime, and the fluid still looks red, and smells good on the dipstick, but I live in Az. and just wanna extend the tranny life with the B&M pan. I see the torque converter plug area was wet at one time, so I know the fluid was in fact thoroughly changed that one time. I wouldn’t have realized that wet area around he plug was from that without your helpful video. Thanks again! I’m going to subscribe now as well. Chris 💪🏻

@chrisgraham2904 9 месяцев назад

The elimination of the transmission fluid pan plug was a really stupid move by Ford and others. I still don't know the reason behind it, other than saving a few pennies. Draining the pan of fluid before removing it is just so much easier and cleaner than wrestling with a pan filled with dirty trans fluid. It's a mess for every transmission technician, even with a hoist, but it's an nightmare for the DIY owners when doing a drain & fill in the driveway.

@DavidNowDnshady 3 года назад

One important thing to note also, the gaskets are NOT interchangeable, if you pull of a cork gasket you MUST replace it with a cork,you cannot use the newer style reusable gasket in place of the cork gasket,unless you purchase all new trans pan bolts. The trans pan bolts are different lengths when a cork gasket is originally used from the factory.

Thank you so much for posting this in depth video. Your explanation was spot on and very helpful. I drained my transmission fluid on 1995 econoline E350 shaggin’ wagon. Turning that torque converter to access the drain bolt was time consuming but I was able to get to it and drain the fluid as well. I’ve drained a total of 13.5 quarts. When I added 10 quarts and started the van, went through the reverse gear ⚙️ (10sec) then drive (10sec) and as soon as I put it in lower gear it stalled. I figured I needed more fluid and added 2 more quarts. Everything worked out great and after driving it on the highway and surface streets, I topped it off to full hot level. Appreciate you and your channel. God bless you sir.

After all the research I could do I determined that it sounded as if that was the actual issue and so it was worth a shot to replace it. Replacing one solenoid looked like more than I could handle at my skill level (which is very amateur 😅) so I went ahead and replaced the pack.

@jrbarden80 3 года назад

I just replaced the fluid & filter on my 1990 Ford Bronco. The gasket in place was a cork gasket. I ordered a filter & gasket kit for the E4OD and it came with the newer steel & rubber OEM type like what is showed in your video. Unfortunately the 90 trans pan has turned up bolt holes and small ridges between the bolt holes to hold the old style cork gasket. The older style pan requires a cork gasket or you will need to replace the pan to the new style to use the new style gaskets. If not, you will have ATF all over your driveway or shop floor.

You think only having the hot reading is an issue? Try having no dip stick at all. I've changed fluids on a new Sprinter where the engine doesn't even have a dipstick... you have to check the level by the computer. Luckily enough I had access to a Sprinter a few years earlier with a close enough engine that I grabbed the dipstick out of that to check the level. Even worse, those Sprinters will pop up an error message if they are filled to the max line and go over that once they warm up.

I've heard that the filter on these is known for coming loose and causing problems. An aftermarket company sells a little bracket that bolts to the valve body that holds the filter in place. I bought one for my '94 Bronco years ago, but haven't gotten around to doing the fluid change and installing the bracket yet (it's my project car, don't have much time for it, it's been sitting for a few years now). I don't have any transmission problems, but I figure the bracket couldn't hurt, so I might as well install it.

If you make sure you have O ring in properly. The pan will hold the filter in place. No need for a bracket

Following you for a while now Brian. Thank you for all your videos. EXTREMELY helpful. Got a 2003 E350 with 130K I bought new. Always nursed my accelerations, never do Jack Rabbit take off. Got a little rumble (only sometimes) when it starts to switch into the overdrive gear getting on highway. Going to do Trans fluid and Rear Fluid changes. Any input on the rumble?

@LA_Commander 3 года назад

Franco, the new fluid and filter should help. Also, consider installing a shift kit from trans-go or another company like that. Should firm up your shifts. I did that on my '97 T-Bird and it helped a lot. No more mushy shifts.

WoW this is a GREAT video and just what I was looking for. I have a 2000 Ford F-250 7.3 diesel with 229,000 miles on it. My concern after changing the transmission fluid was checking the fluid level. Your illustration was the best. Now I know exactly what I need to do to check my level.

My 2000 Ford e350 dipstick is very difficult to read but now we know how to read it better 👍 the end has dimples so needs to be filled to show accurate Levels. I'm now checking several times... both Before starting and while running, and may start checking 15 minutes after turning off to allow fluids to level off. Cheers 🍻

To those using the same pan, Careful not to bend the flange on the pan when it's tipping down from the weight of the fluid. I try to leave one bolt in on the opposite side and hold it with my hand at the same time, removing the bolt. Also the original ford gasket is reusable, and NEEDS to be torqued to spec for it to crush a proper seal. The felpro replacements usually leak as it's not an engineered gasket like the oem. Awesome video!

Thank you Bryan. Excelent video. 1999 Ford Expedition XLT 4wd 5.4L 4R100. About 2 years ago the transmission got to a point that only 1st and 2nd grear were working. I found 2 broken springs in three pieces, 1 valve getting stock, the oil pressure regulator had the little piston stock inside, all of this in the valve bodies. And also the neutral position sensor was misaligned. Your videos had helped me fixing several problems that came up in this vehicle. Thank you so much.

@rdbs505 6 месяцев назад

I have an 2002 E250 with 76K, been wanting to get this done. Why do some recommend not servicing the trans if its old? I dont want to do this job if its goinf to cause the trans issues? Seems to work properly now.

@colebrucker6724 3 года назад

If you put thread sealant on the torque converter plug don't you risk some of said sealant entering your transmission fluid?

Hi Brian, I have a question about the E4OD. I have a '94 Bronco with one and it makes a rattling sound ONLY in 1st gear. The rattling frequency increases with vehicle speed. I filmed a video of it, which you can check out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-royknuEcNVQ.html Do you know what causes that? I found a TSB for it (NHTSA #50429) but no info on what causes it or how to fix it.

Brian, this was a very good video, helped me through my first DIY transmission fluid change on my 2000 F250 4wd. Just a few comments: 1) I was able to drain out 15 quarts from the pan and torque converter. Good thing I got this much out, the fluid was scroungy. 2) As the video states, check that the filter seal came out with the filter. Mine didn’t; it was stuck on the valve body and I needed to pick it off in pieces. This took a bit of time. 3) I wasn’t able to get a pry bar to turn the torque converter so I used the crankshaft bolt. This seemed easier to me although I had to keep swapping places under the truck in the process. In the end, mission accomplished, my truck seems to shift a bit smoother now and I know it’s got fresh transmission fluid. BTW, I also changed out the front and rear differential fluids as well as the transfer case fluid with the help of your videos. Keep up the good work!

You hired an incompetent mechanic. It should work perfectly when correctly reassembled! Transmission shops are notorious for doing a crappy job. The vehicle runs for a month or so and you notice it's not functioning properly.
