Transmission Removal 7.3L Super Duty 

Dude i respect you more than 99% of men these days this is hard work , like they say dirty hands but clean money

Top Notch Instructional Video by a Top Notch Guy!!! One of the best mechanical informationals I have seen!! Thanks hunter

This video is as simple as I needed it to be , great job explaining everything you kept it nice and simple. I will be saving myself a few hundred dollars after this video

This is the best Video I have Found anywhere!!! I will be following step by step when I Install my Torque Converter and jump on my Rebuild. Hunter you have Saved me a lot of $$$!!

Awesome video! Thanks for being direct and not talking about what you had for breakfast and what the weather is doing. Awesome job!

Good job Hunter! One of the best DIY videos I've watched! He shows you everything without wasting a lot of time between steps. I also like that he makes a lot of comments about safety. Thank you!!

I know this is an older(4yr+) video, but I had to drop a line. I have been in and around dealerships, primarily Ford shops for over 15 years. I enjoy finding and watching videos of people tinkering to see how people explain shit. I Must say, MAD PROPS TO THIS YOUNG MAN! Bro, you don't over complicate with long b.s. explanations, and you (kis) "keep it simple". KEY POINT; IF there is someone for the first time looking for solid direction on how to D.I.Y, id recommend this video! Nicely done homie!

Well done hunter, this video is perfect in every way. Extremely informative great detail to ever process I'm convinced u could get a guy that's never even seen a transmission through the big task with no problems I wish all DIY videos were this detailed

Thank you for recording this. I used a lot of your advice this weekend to change out my son’s 4r100. We were Successful! Really appreciate it.

Big thanks for your DIY vid. Been tackling my 4x4 manual trans for a few days now. New flywheel, pressure plate, clutch, etc. At 60 yrs old and solo -- it's a chore, but chugging along. Your video was a big help even though some things are a little bit different on my 1996 7.3.

At first I was like this kid hasn’t done this before but you started talking and I was like, this kid knows his stuff. Thanks for the tips and detailed descriptions!

Love your style and intelligence. I wish more young men where like you! You must have had a great role model! Good luck to you.

You are awesome! This was the most comprehensive video on an 4R100 i have ever watched. Great attention to detail and love how you keep safety a priority! Thanks man!

I'm 50 and about to change out the 7.3 in my 99 F250 in the summer heat in Florida. I just can't give up on the ole girl. I wanted to see where all the bell housing bolts were and it brought up your video. I hope to see more

Incredibly descriptive and informative video. Had to pull mine this weekend and this helped me get my 4r100 out without a hitch. Thanks so much

Where is part 2, that was a really great detailed step by step removal video!

I'll be doing this in a few days. Great video! Very informative with socket sizes, techniques and part numbers.

Excellent! Fantastic camera lighting and angles. Thanks, man!

That was a great video your camera work fantastic. You really captured the scope of this job and thanks for showing every little detail.

You seem to know what you're doing! My 96 F-250 has a 5.8L and is a 4x4. Your video seems close enough to what I'm going to be working on though. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

About to do this to my 7.3 on Saturday, wish me luck!

Thank you man from México, this video is old but is gold.

Excellent video!! The best "how to" video I've watched. And I watch a lot! If I were 20 years younger I would follow it to get to my stripped starter ring gear in my 2003 F-250 race car hauler. Race cars are easier to work on. But at 77 I'm going to have to look for a shop. Any suggestions on how to pick a shop for this project? Again, well done!

Thxs for this vid might have just saved me my truck blew a seal but all the shops want to replace it and I don’t have the time but I do know how to rebuild small engines (and some larger engines), but transmission on the other hand especially without a lift was worrying me

Excellent job, well done, great video and you did an excellent job of explaining what, when and why of the sequence!

Thanks brother all the way from Mexico 🫡

Thank you for doing this video man! I need to remove transmission from my 97 f350 for the first time.

Great video, thanks for all the bolt sizes and not just wratchet jawing about other bs. Good job on handling the camera too. I know it had to be hell doing all that mostly one handed.

Awesome video man. On things i haven't done before i like to gather some insight to see what's ahead. Different from my typical corvette job lol.

Awesome video bud very well explained thank you sir

Good Video! Looks way easier than i remember my last transmission removal with truck on the ground how you ran through this. Thumbs up!

Really good video , it has made this job for me a piece of cake. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Handled that like a real man. Frfr.

That’s how you get it done bro 💪🏽

Thanks Hunter, very informative and well done .

Lovely southern neighbours

Getting errrrrr done. Nice video

Thanks - keep it up man your videos are well done.

Thanks for this very detailed step by step video. It really gave me confidence to remove my transmission. I also couldn't find any videos showing how to remove the wiring harness connections on top of the transmission and somehow you got your camera close enough and explained enough for me to see how to remove without breaking them. I really appreciate the amount of time you put into it... having tried to edit a few of my own videos...it really takes time so I thank you. Also, the underside of my truck was not nearly as clean. Did you power wash and degrease the undercarriage?

Thank you, Sir!

Outstanding video. Thank you

Well this going to suck. Thanks for the video.

Thank -You Hunter,Great Name ,my Sons middle name, I gotta say Buddy!!! Great vid. Best of health to you and your LOVED ONES, in these wild/crazy/uncertain times . peace and happiness to you..... Bust a Knuckle

Very well explained 👍 You got a new subscriber 😎

Excellent video

94.5-97 psd has a E4OD, E99 ( basically 98)- 03 has a 4R100 great video though 👌🏻

Man thank you!! You saved me $3K!!! Instead of taking it to the shop, only thing that hurts isn’t my wallet…it’s my knuckles 🤣

Good job brother I’ll be doing this in a couple of days just gotta go buy a impact and sum last bit of tools I’ll need

Lucky bastard lol I'm putting a torque converter in my 5.4 4r100 and I'm in WNY. What a pain

Very good video! Great detail and know how! Have you ever had a torque converter seize up? Is so how did you remove the flex plate bolts? My 99 f-350 7.3 4x4 engine acts like the engine is locked up but I think it’s the torque Your thoughts?

Thanks bud ... Very good video

Excellent!

Awesome video man

Wrap it up! Always a good idea!

I think you did a good job on this video

You got mad skills bro, what happens to part 2? I found this video because I’m r/r a torque shift 6 on f550 diesel and I was looking for tips on how to flush the cooler and lines and tips on an install

Great video

Great video dude thank you

What happened with transmission? You just installed rebuild transmission and again? What is going on?

Did he show how to remove the top bolts on the bell housing or am I missing something?

Is that the transmission you just replaced? Did you take it out just to service/inspect it? Curious, good vid

Great tutorial!

Awesome video man, I can tell you know your shit.

Great great The best

How long does it take to remove and replace transmission on 01 f350 7.3 truck brother

thanks!

Hunter! Im about to put a transmission in my 2003 super duty! F350 7.3.. I heard I was supposed to have my transmission calibrated to my diesel motor after I put the transmission in my truck is that true?.. please! respond thank you!! Sir..

Where'd you buy the new transmission?

That 4r100 is a heavy arse transmission thats like wrestling an anconda under a truck on the ground. 😂

Well done!

Молодец

What size are those bell housing bolts?

where did he buy it

So you really didn't need to remove the transfercase or starter then?

I’m stuck I have the goddam thing out but I can’t get it straightly mounted on the Pittsburg tranny Jack. I will figure it out today….

I'm in the middle of this, started today. Replacing the flex plate. Do I need to take the transfer case off and completely remove the transmisson, or just slide it back all together ?

Wait you already put a monster in? What happened 🤔

I can’t budge those 6 bolt for the life of me !!

Looks like your new transmission came packed well, where did you get it from??

how did you get the tcase shifter linkage removed?

Did you get your transmission from street Smarts

Does the transfer case have to be removed?

How long (time) does that job take between 2 guys ?

Do you work at Ford? I see you wearing a Ford uaw t-shirt

About how long did this take you?

Looks like you’re removing a new trans….what gives?

Not bad for a rookie DIY’er, I’ve been turning wrenches for 20+ years and still do some of the things you do in my driveway when not at the shop. Safety is ALWAYS more important than any repair job in even the worst circumstances, but quality and accuracy is key to a reliable repair. Torque wrench’s are cheap these days and there’s no excuse for German torque excuses or jokes except for fools that think they have any skill or pride in their repair with “Good-N-Tight” as a measure of torque. Hence the reason why many people break down from sheared bolts while rock crawling or other 4X4 events, as well as the guys that sling U-Joint parts while try to launch at a drag strip. “Good-N-Tight” wasn’t tight enough, Obviously! First good video to a point, safety doesn’t mean vehicle on undeveloped surface, rear tires on sender blocks wood and metal ramp in grass digging into the ground. Couple sheets of 3/4” 4X8’ plywood one front and rear two pair of harbor freight 3-Ton or 6-Ton jack stands and on a more level surface would be much safer and much more trustworthy. Safety isn’t safety if every considerable thought isn’t given to possible bodily injury or death by ignorance, no offense. Second good job on the parts descriptions and wrench turning for a DIY’er, good techniques and unless I missed it which maybe I did. Only watched this video and not others so I maybe missed why swapping what appears to be a rebuilt tranny? Key points to remember as a DIY’er, you break it replace it NO ZIP TIES for bracketry “dipstick tube”. Wooden blocks are never safe, not in a driveway, field nor ever for working under the vehicle weight of several thousand pounds that can and will kill you if given the chance to do so. Third torque all drive train, frame crossmember and rotating component bolts/nuts. Anything other than that you deserve what happens if bolts back out. Locktite is not the rule it’s in addition to the rule, the rule is to torque the aforementioned bolts/nuts. Inspect any plastic linkage bushings and replace if any signs of ware or damage are found no exceptions. Always use proper OEM recommended or equivalent fluids in all drivetrain components, NO EXCEPTIONS. Last but CERTAINLY not the least store brand garbage fluids are for fools that believe foolish advertising and have no real understanding of the component and the fluids the depend on. Also, don’t think that exorbitantly priced hyped up fluids are the way to go either, save that for the upper class of foolish that really believe those are better. Stay in the middle and go from there not the cheapest and certainly not the most expensive but, modestly priced and good quality fluids are the best and proven to be the most reliable.
