Getting ready to do mine tomorrow, and I was feeling strong; until the way you said "good luck" Lol. No, it doesn't look too bad other than the upper bolts. I don't think I will be able to do it this way from the ground though, because of the angle required to get it out. If I misunderstood and you see this post, please correct me and spare me the troubles I made myself. Great explanation friend. Thanks
man, after watching the video, from cussing at ford and mentally getting ready for ww3, it went to, this is not that bad AT ALL big thanks, this is most common sense informative video on youtube
What an excellent video--I watched it and my F150 transmission doesn't even need to be replaced! I wish everyone's DIY videos were this good. Keep up the good work!
I actually have the same transmission out of a rolled f150 with a 302 5.0 efi engine and it ran and drove but I just ripped everything out of it because it was a donor car for a different project other than my current f150
@@johnworkman5121 the point was a rookie watching might not know that and we teach people proper terminology so others know what they are talking about. If said rookie were to find the flex plate was cracked and went to order one at a parts store he would be asking for the wrong part. Additionally he calls a transfer case a "rear dif" and those are not even remotely the same thing.
Pretty sure I need a new torque converter in my 2010 F-150. This looks like a pain in the ass and probably not something I'm willing to attempt in the driveway on jackstands lol Thanks for the video however!

Hey buddy I’m installing mine tomorrow it was out of truck already I have a question what is the rubber hoes dangling down at 1.24 1.25 mine has tht and it’s not connected to anything just a single hoes zip tied at the top
I would suggest using four 2 ton jack stands too put the truck on as high as possible then use a transmission jack too lower and raise the transmission if you dont have a lift you can use.

That is not the easiest way to do that you did it the hardest way you can do it. Just remove the exhaust off and then you don't need to take the transfer case off or the flex plate it only takes about 1 and a half hours to get it out the way you did it looks like it would take all day
I just pulled mine out of an 08 F150 more less the way he described, and you're right it took all day, but I dont have to deal with exhaust problems on a rusty high mile truck. The main problems I had were the top bolts, the dipstick tube was seized in its bore, and dealing with the mounting bolts to the transfer case, which wouldnt have been any different pulling the complete unit. It wasnt too bad, and reduced the weight and bulk quite a bit which counts lots when your on jack stands working on your back by yourself. On a hoist it would make more sense alright.
untill "just remove the exhaust" involves breaking a stud and having to removing the manifold. Then breaking off one of those manifold bolts in the head. Then this was a lot less work.
Straight to the point. No talkin about meatloaf he ate last night. Great video

Well done! I believe you just helped me navigate a minefield of shit i would have fucked up. In under 6 minutes. Good job!

I have a Mazda m5r2 transmission in my 92 F150 I removed the stick and was able to get those from the hole in my floor with 2 12 inch extensions
That is a great idea! Gotta pull one out to fix myself too. Wasn't sure if I'd have to tear the entire bottom half apart 1st....thanks brother.

You can also pull can and just grab it with a shop crane from top
Great vid. Also it's a flex plate, not a flywheel. Flywheel is for manual trans, flex plate for auto trans.
Really going to get that picky lol we’ll give you a pay on the back I’m sure he knows that

@@toddmiller5322 Hey stud, why don't you make some videos so we can all learn something!
If you want to get picky ...he kept calling the transfer case the rear diff..but we know what he meant..lol
Anyone know easy way for 2002 f150 trans removal.... please link a video or what ever you have. Thanks!!!
It's a pain
I’m here looking for the same .. did you find anything ?
Pretty much these same I'm doing it in my 99 as I type well actually breaking lol
Hey has anyone found a video yet of taking a 2002 f150 trans off
Quick simple and to the point love it!!!

Hmmm cant seem to find any vids for a 2015 3.5L V6 (non-turbo) version....
I did the same thing on 07 f150 but with regular car jack and a lot of ratchet strap but I Left the fly wheel there
I like your information. It's all I need thank you so much
Love your ptsd commentary. 😂
"As you know, it's a b*tch!" 😆
Thank you Nathan!
Good stuff man
Starting my removal soon . If I’m just replacing torque converter would I only lower jack enough for it to slide out?
3:33 mentions " that's why we scooted the rear diff back a bit? Do you mean the transfer case? and did you unbolt the transfer case to scoot it back a bit?
transfer case, not rear diff
I was like whaaa 🤷🏾♂️
On Point
You missed the whole part of unbolting the the torque converter from the flywheel....
Hey buddy I’m installing mine tomorrow it was out of truck already I have a question what is the rubber hoes dangling down at 1.24 1.25 mine has tht and it’s not connected to anything just a single hoes zip tied at the top
Good tips
How much to rebuild my tranny and install? 3 to 4th gear doesn't like to shift with power on it..sounds like a duck squaking or clunks hard...
6 or 4speed auto ?
How long did it take you to remove this transmission... I'm afraid I'll need to do mine soon. Reverse is getting worse
Is the the 4r75e?
Does transmission need to be in neutral? Or parking?
When you remove the trans rod it needs to be in neutral to stay in alignment. Hope that helps
"Looks back at diff" 🤔
What happens if torque converter pops out and leaks some fluid
Nothing, you loose fluid. Mainly you don't want it falling out onto the floor and damaging it on accident. I empty them once the transmission is out.
Looks like OP doesn’t respond. Can I do this without a lift?
I would suggest using four 2 ton jack stands too put the truck on as high as possible then use a transmission jack too lower and raise the transmission if you dont have a lift you can use.

12 ton bud...2 ton will kill you.
