How to Replace a Torque Converter Seal | 1995 Ford F150 

Thanks man!🤙

You’ll have two more steps than the 2wd. That’s removing the front driveshaft in the transfer case.

@@TheMinuteMasters And dealing with the Heavy E40D and Transfer Case

@@bdwren Ah! That too!

🤷‍♂️ lol

My eye 👁️!

How do you do that?

@TheMinuteMasters well I did a converter once didn't check how the seal wood fit the torque converter after all the work I did on it when I started the car had a massive leak after redoing everything turns out they sold me the wrong seal ever since that incident when ever I have to replace this particular seal I first check seal to torque for proper fitment before install never had that issue ever again

@@ramonolmeda2280 gotcha. That makes sense I always replace like for like.

You are correct. I didn’t change the gasket between the pump and the bell housing because I didn’t want to get that far into this repair. I also didn’t think it was leaking. This transmission needs to be rebuilt anyway.

What might last a week? The TC?

I did a rebuild years and ago and filmed a two part series. It does to cover every little detail but it will get you through certain parts.

The bushing should be good. I didn’t see anything out of place when I pulled the seal.

I’ve heard that too. In my case, this seal was the culprit.

Thanks Terry! I appreciate it!🤙

Thanks for the tip. As far as I could tell, the puking has stopped. So the seal definitely did the trick.

Good observation. I’m not sure if those notches mean anything.

Did you put the bushing in or was that stock?

I know right! Lol I guess that’s the craftsman in me.

It would leak a good couple of ounces once I would park and truck and turn it off.

I believe the install manual recommended it.

I’m not an transmission expert either but that’s how these seals are installed. When I’m doubt, match existing.🤙

I’m not sure what transmission that is, but I think they’re all similarly built

If you leak enough fluid, your transmission won’t function properly. However, just having a slow leak won’t cause issues.

If you were looking to replace the torque converter seal shop may charge you between $700 and $1000. If you do it yourself, it’s just the cost of the part.👌

This is the front of the transmission inside the bell housing.

@@TheMinuteMasters thank you , im sure this seal is broken or bad on my 08 f150 it basically pissed trans fluid the other day and it didnt want to drive anymore , how much would this repair cost on average if i go to a shop!

@@evangonzales4848 Hard to say, you essentially have to remove the transmission. I’d ask for a quote. It could be $600-$900.

I believe so. At least that’s what the professional shop used.

@@TheMinuteMasters i see others used red loctite, rtv sounds like a better option to me

@@TheMinuteMasters but also wont it block the oil fill hole

@@user-uq6vh3ps7m I don’t think so. At least my truck hasn’t exhibited that symptom.

Hahaha! I hope so too. I’m done for a while. Lol

@@TheMinuteMasters have you thought about doing a full restoration/rebuild?

@@adamfpv8294 Like park my truck and completely disassemble it? I’d love too but I don’t have another vehicle for a DD.

@@TheMinuteMasters yes, you’d also need a large sum of money :)

@@adamfpv8294 This too! Lol

Good question! It’s been away since a pulled a C6 but I’m sure it’s similar. If I understand this correctly, the AOD, 40DE, and 4R70w are basically C6 transmissions with overdrive, slightly different gear ratios, and some electronics.
