👏 🏆 🔧 This is the best tutorial for the Panther platform trans oil and filter change. The narration and explanation are excellent, the camera work was great (tripod!), and there was no annoying and distracting metal/techno/rap "music" blasting in the background. This is a professional-looking production that walks the novice through the process. Thank you for the superb work, Mr. Tool Demos!
That was very kind of you John. I appreciate ya.
Finally, someone who has demystified this for me. Bless you.
Glad it was helpful.
I've watched several videos on how to change the Trans fluid in my 03 Lincoln town car and I feel this is the best video. I have one of these fluid extracting contraptions and I didn't even thing to use the fluid extractor first to make the job a lot less messy. Thank you for making this video. I'm going to do this job asap. 4/22/22 .Thanks. Craig Moir
Thank you Craig, I appreciate that. Happy wrenching!
great tips & tutorial, thanks Steve !!
Thanks for your feedback. Always good to hear from ya.
@@ToolDemos > and always good to keep up on your latest, thanks man !!
Thanks for including torque specs 👍
You bet!
You forgot to place a small amount of transmission fluid on the new filter gasket before you installed it. This helps to prevent the gasket from sticking inside the transmission as what happened to the last one.
You’re right, thanks. Good tip.
If ya don't have any tranny fluid, a smidgeon of Preparation H oughta work just fine !!
Great video thanks!
Thanks, Mike.
Thank you for the tips good Sir.
Glad I could help.
NEVER use a metal tool to remove a stuck filter gasket !! WOOD or PLASTIC -- ONLY !!
The early 4R70W has a flat-bottomed Trans Pan. Install a Drain Plug on the rearward wall of the Trans Pan.
The newer 4R70W has a bump in the bottom of the trans pan. Rock Auto has a pan with a Drain Plug where the bump is.
I use and recommend CASTROL "TransMax" Full Synthetic Mercon V trans fluid for the 4R70W.
Good tip
@@ToolDemos Thank yo, sir !
Great info!!!
How many miles did you have on the car when you did this?
Thanks!!
I believe it was about 91k
thanks!!@@ToolDemos
is it really takes 14 quart to fill it ?
That is what i find.@@ToolDemos
@@summerforever6736 yes, to fill it from empty, but not just from draining it.
thanks !!@@ToolDemos
I thought they changed there transmissions in 2006 to the 4r75 from the 4r70w
You’re absolutely right. Thanks for the correction.
@@ToolDemos yup no problem its important to know because they had problems with the old 4r70ws and theres not enough info out there on it i bought a 2003 by mistake because wikipedia has lies about them changing in 2002. and apprently in 2005 they changed to a 4r70e instead of the 4r70w then the next year went to 4r75 so idk what fluid the 4r70e would take
@@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537 I just checked All Data for the ‘05. It calls for Mercon V.
@@ToolDemos Okey-dokey -- so all Panthers from '92 thru '05 get the MERCON V !??
Got it !!
The famus 95 MERC runs a B&M Shift Kit, B&M 13,000-lb. Trans Cooler, B&M Drain Plug Kit, and CASTROL "TransMax" Full Synthetic trans fluid in it's 4R70W.
Perfect for cuising the Vegas boulevards -- or touring in the Rocky mountains.
@@SlikLizrd nice!
You did a good job but you missing drain the torque converter
This year didn’t have a drain plug for the TC. It went away around 2000 or so.
At 12:34 what’s the box in front of the transmission pan with the circle ring looking thing?
That’s the transmission bell housing, the circle at the bottom is a rubber plug that covers the access hole. Ford used to put a drain plug in the torque converter so you could drain more fluid, but that went away 20 years ago. They stopped putting the hole in the bell housing several years after that.
Oh well mines drenched I think it’s leaking I don’t know where though?
@@Gostintheshadows pull the plug and have a look inside. If it’s full of motor oil, look towards the engine, could be a rear main seal.
@@ToolDemos would there be any symptoms of oil leaking into the transmission without pulling the plug?
@@Gostintheshadows When it gets really bad you’ll see a leak hitting the ground under the car. But until then you’ll have to have a look through the access hole.
