4R75E Transmission Teardown Inspection - Transmission Repair 

To the man in the video - a master of his craft. Not one moment of doubt or confusion; every part could just toss aside because he knows every part like family. You're the best I've ever witnessed, faster than any and you had to slow it down to accommodate us. You're a pleasure to watch and learn from. 100% business, 0% bullshit. You wanted to be the best? Well, you are.

He is right about high line pressure blowing the end off the forward drum. However, there is more to it that needs to be addressed OUTSIDE of the transmission. On older Fords they are programmed to start with, and maintain, a higher engine idle speed to help light the catalytic converters off. Cats won't work until they reach a very high internal temp-like 1200 degrees, or something crazy like that. As the cats age it takes longer to get them up to temp where they start working. Ford, recognizing this situation, programmed their vehicles that as they age they will idle HIGHER, and will idle higher for longer, than a new engine does specifically to get the cats up to temp and working as they age. The problem here is people that jump in their vehicles, start them up and then instantly drop them into gear.. When the idle is high, so is the line pressure! When the engine is cold-so is the trans fluid which easily makes excessively high line pressure when paired with a high idle. We see BOTH the end of the forward drum blown off, and the band pin anchor on the reverse band broken off. Yes, the Sure Cure kit will help.. But ultimately telling your customer to let the idle drop below 1,000RPM BEFORE engaging F or R will ultimately stop this problem from happening. So, the entire fix is a two part process. The Sure Cure kit (or even the Trans-Go kit), and then fixing the nut behind the wheel. I find it much more difficult to fix, or control, the nut behind the steering wheel. Transmissions are easy. Those "nuts" are the challenging part.

This video is an education. It is comprehensive & exceptionally good. One of maybe (3) on all of RU-vid that is serious & extremely well detailed. This gentleman is giving a little history as he works, early models, how they differ...Only very capable people can incorporate that as they work. Thank You Sir! You should be proud.

This is the best teardown video I have ever seen. The whole trans disassembled in 32 minutes. Impressive. And to include the explanations as well proves that you are a true master builder. Kudos to you sir.

I lost you have 3 mins of the video, never seen a person take apart a transmission so fast and explain every part of it. Great video, will most likely keep re watching it to learn about transmissions.

This guy is a genius. I know he's probably done this a few hundred times maybe but for me to look at all those gears and plates and metal is like an impossible puzzle. Why they make these things so complicated. Good lord

one thing I learned from this - I'm not going to try to rebuild my own transmission

I'm not a transmission guy, but it is awesome to watch an expert like you do this type of work! it really helps to see the internal components of various models as well as your expert explainations of them. Keep making videos, you are a trans God!

This makes me want to commute by bicycle, you may as well be operating on people with so much complexity! Very well done sir, you're a rare breed!!

It's good to see that true professionals still exist.

Going back and reviewing old videos. I am rebuilding one of these now, so I'm also taking notes on what to look out for. You are missed my friend! I hope all is well with you! You've helped me so much over the years! Mandandote unos abrazos fuerte! 🤗🤗

I want you to rebuild my my f 150 4r75e transmission . your the kind of guy that we all wish we could find. it's obvious you know your transmissions wow! very impressive!

This guy knows his shit.

It's hard to find a good and trustworthy transmission guy these day's

Nice to see someone who’s been around long enough to have master level experience. Good job.

You are a true Master in your art. I wish all the mechanics were like you. But that is only a wish, and you know that never happens. I respect you a lot. Thank you for the great demonstration.

I love videos like this and its great to learn and see what it is all about. Also a great way to arm yourself with this information because unfortunately, some transmission shops are not honest with you. I learned this the hard way.

Good stuff - thanks for your analysis on why the failures happened.

Thank you my brother. Very straight forward and to the point. Very good delivery of the information. Most of all you know your transmissions inside and out. Props to you for sharing your knowledge with others.

Great video. I like how you specifically knows what each piece does and if it is good or bad.

You are absolutely a genuine example of a MASTER TECH!! No words can describe your skill level… Wow!!

Great video. Have a 4r75e transmission that just had a drum failure. Your vidoe was great explanation and reference on these transmissions and issues. Thanks!

Amazing video by a master at his craft. I unfortunately just started having transmission problems with my 2007 E350 Van at 182,000 miles with the 4R75E trans (failure to shift into high gear). This video was illuminating going to drop the pan in search of metal and see if I’ve got any codes.

Wow I'm amazed on how much info you have retained on transmissions. Great job sir.

I watch this video and this is the transmission we will be working on in fanshawe as our lab assignment. I find it to be very informative and easy to understand. thank you.

I watched this video cause I'm about to tear into my transmission. I haven't built a transmission since I was in school. Dude, your a beast. Great video

a man who obviously knows his craft.

Hands down the most informative and educational ford transmission video I have seen by far... Ive learned more in the last 32mins here than in.the last 5 months of reading and watching and trying to plan out how to save my 2012 E-150... I actually lost the sick feeling in my stomach and now Im just pissed at my locsl dealership for telliing me my transmission is toast and telling me I need to fork over $4000.00 to fix a purpose built delivery van that only has 43,000 miles and that I paid cash for new at their dealership... a huge thanks to Automatic Transmission.... you sir are a craftsman of the highest order...

Thanks for the information you put out. You've given me the confidence to rebuild automatics and helped me save some friends a lot of money!

impressive... you do an amazing job explaining every component and showing where to look for ware. thank you.

excellent job Hiram thank you for one of the best quick tip inspection videos I've ever seen on youtube. I subscribed to your page and look forward to more great videos. Thank you

You're a great teacher, you know what we need to know and show us what we need to see...thanks.

That was really good. I’m doin an el cheap o fix on an 04 4r70w out of a grand marquis 170000 miles. All I found was toasted forward clutches and steels and blown out piston seals. Front pump seal was almost falling out too. This is 1st time I opened one up so I made notes on several things you said. I bought the car to get familiar with the 4r70w cause I wanna supercharge my 03 marauder and will have to beef up the 4r70w from the marauder. I just found ur channel bout a week too late. Thanks again for the knowledge.

Great job explaining things, no time wasted! You're good at what you do. Thank you very much for the video!

Fantastic video! I enjoyed it very much. Very impressive knowledge. I envy this guy.

"This drum is no good no more" and the blood on the customer's face drained

He makes it look so simple. Excellent video, Thank You for sharing.

Very impressed with this man's working knowledge

Great job detailing step by step. Has having trouble figuring out where a wavy spring came from. It was the Intermediate sprag retainer from 16:21. Now to get one here fast. No stores

Always a joy to see someone rip into something so complicated as if it were nothing. My 07 F150 FX2 (4R75E) has 123,000 miles and doesn't like coasting through slow traffic then accelerating. It usually races then bangs pretty hard. Doesn't do it in OD off. I'm changing fluid, Mercon V, and filter this weekend and hoping for the best.

+eddie corbette. That's the same thing I was saying too..like how does he remember it all? Lol but sir I don't have a clue what you're talking about Mr. +Hiram Gutierrez. But I just loved this video because I have a passion for cars and fixing them up and stuff like that..I want to actually go to school for it.. that's how much I like it..you're video encourages me more further ..thanks for all the knowledge even though I don't know most of that stuff..lol

great video. very educational. I lil quick at the hands but that's ur experience at work.hard to slow down. .wish I was that confidence in disassembling my trans an rebuilding it..

Well done! You know your shit! =) The trans in my '06 Police just shot craps. In the exploratory phase right now before I go digging into it. Thanks for taking the time to do this! Much appreciated! =)

Thanks for your nice video and teck teach ! because of this i was capable to do it all by my self and did a good work ! all people did i ask for an estimate for doing this job all of them talk for a lot of money and all it was done for less than $ 500 bucks ! thanks again Hiram !

Thank you for the making the great informative videos.

Yes,yes,yes somebody that actually know what the hell they're doing with the perfect amount of narration to cover the topic.My 4R70W no reverse & neutrals in OD but now I feel better about tackling it myself.

I normally don't leave comments, but your Video is perfect! Thanks!!

Good video, whole lotta parts to keep track of. I think I'll leave it to the experts.

As a mechanic i appreciate this video. TY my dude

Thanks for your explain And you have a good experience in that

I have an F150 '08 5.7 and the transmission just went out, no forward or reverse. If I let it sit and cool off it will go into either forward or reverse until the fluid heats up, let it sit for an hour and it goes again. having it towed to a trusted mechanic but I want to have a minimum knowledge of part names and a minimum idea of what conditions can cause what problems. when I do visit the shop I won't stand there bug-eyed when I hear what needs to be done. I'd rather spend the money on an excellent repair than have a truck payment. Thank you for the easy to understand explanation.

You would be a great classroom instructor. I like your no bullshit straight to the point method. AWESOME video.. Thanks a million.

good video smart man

I liked the video very much, keep em coming.

thank you i learn so much from you plzzzzzz keep the videos coming

Normal wear not ware. Thanks for taking the time for making this informative video.

Took notes on this video... thanks again...

Awesome, I was like I got this until you pulled the whole damn thing apart around 15 minutes, lol. Very helpful though thank you.

Wow, totally perfect explaination!

Thanks. Brother just took mine apart. 04 with 170k. Exactly same problems mine had

thanks for a great video hiram

I have the same truck with 250 000km. Was doing exactly the same as you... and last week and I ended up needed a complete rebuild. Truck drives like new now. The more you wait the more things will neeed replacing as the metal inside is eating away....

Can’t be more easy as your explanation

Thank you sir, Thank you so much. Very very helpful video. It's worth so much this information. 🙏🙏

I learned a lot here, thanks!

great video quick teardown and still explaining alot i alwasy though it would take way more time then this

Why I m so late.Thank you great video.

THIS AWESOME MEN KEEP IT UP THANK YOU

Thank You very Much! Great Video Very Helpful!

I have a friend I am helping pull one of these out of a E series van and he is going to rebuild it in his garage. I hope it works out for him!

Very nice job explaining every step as well as great follow- up with description of parts needing replaced. JK

Great video much appreciated

Very good video. Thank you.

Tims auto if you're in chicagoland area....master of trans....plus great mechanic...

Nice presentation. Generally speaking , with average use, how many miles are on the transmissions before you rebuild them? What's the greatest mileage you have seen ?

informative thanks for the info great video

Great job

Thanks Hiram, I have a 08 overdrive problem, shifts into OD and its like its in neutral, disengage the OD and runs and shifts fine...Im going to try and change the ring myself, seen a couple other videos on it and I feel I must have the same problem.

This is exactly what I needed thank you so much. Absolute legend looks like he can do it in his sleep. Watching you work on transmissions is like watching Michael Jordan play basketball
