One thing not mentioned in this video is to make sure you flatten the bolt hole surface on the pan. Steel pans will dent in form tightening (usually from over tightening) so you have to flatten this area again to help gasket sealing.
Hey!! if I'm not mistaking ...when you are removing the Pan, there a SPRING & Ball that comes out ... not show in the Video. It's been awhile... but I believe there is, lose it your in deep kimchi !
No RTV black sealer? I always use a light skim of sealer because I don't want to do it a second time I've had too many times where they slightly leaked because the pan was not perfectly flat.
I have a mustang that has been sitting for over 20 years. Just got the engine running again. Now ready to start on transmission. Any suggestions on what to do or not to do for a car that has been sitting this long. I know it will need fuild I am sure. Also have made sure rear axle is spinning and not frozen.
You are probably going to need to drop it to put in a new front input seal and rear output seal. Also replace the shift shaft rubber seals in the side of the transmission, the dipstick tube seal, and the speedometer O-ring seal. You might get lucky and this stuff is still holding but probably not. If you have greasable U-joints in the driveshaft, hit them a few squirts of grease, too. Replace the soft fuel line from body to fuel pump and also fuel filter. Check your brakes and brake lines. If they are rubber, time for new ones. Flush ALL old brake fluid and install new and bleed each corner. Check the rear end fluid, also. Well worth the time to run it a bit and then suck it all out and drill/install a magnetic drain plug in the bottom of the axle housing. 1/8" NPT. Don't tap it too deeply. Good luck!
Make sure you use Ford c4 transmission fluid Type F. That said who knows what will happen after that long going to be like throwing dice you might get lucky
Hi I recently bought a ford mustang 1970 with a leak in the transmission. We changed the oil filter, cleaned the oil pan, and installed a new gasket. It kept leaking so we bought a new gasket and it still leaks, any answers as to why?
(I know this is an older comment but) Typically when you're dealing with fluids in vehicles, and you have to pieces connecting you NEED a gasket of some kind to help prevent leaks and wear. Gaskets need to be well maintained and kept up with especially when talking 35+ year old cars.

Old timer mechanics in Europe would have charged around 300 euros in labor to do this let alone rip you off by another 80% or so with importing the pieces. Glad you guys are doing these videos! Xoxo !!!!
As I was removing the last bolt on the filter I had a spring and a little round piece (looks to attach onto the spring) fell out and I do not know where it came from. Any ideas what this spring is for and where it goes?
Though this was 7 months ago and I assume you fixed it, there's a hole that differs from the rest (slightly larger and has two cut outs so it looks like two half circles). The easiest way to locate it is when you hold the filter in place it has a little lip sticking out over one of the screw holes. This lip covers where the spring goes, it goes in with the metal pin touching the filter. Hope this helps.
@@neiltheliger are you sure the pin doesn't go in side the valve body first? The Research Ive done says the spring end touches the filter....ill find out tomorrow lol
keith holden My 65 Mustang has one. If you are standing at the nose of the car, the dip stick is a little left of center and right in front of the firewall.
Is that gasket rubber? Looks like rubber. Those paper gaskets ones are pieces of crap so looking for the rubber ones. Avoid the Moroso gasket, those are expensive crap!

How many quarts does it need for that c4 transmission
I really appreciate the informative videos but GOOD GRIEF the music is horrible !!!!!

What about the torque converter?
Excellent! I've been working on a friends 67 Mustang and your parts and videos have helped.

can the filter be installed with or without a gasket? what are the pros/cons to have or not a gasket between the filter and the valve body?

But no answer so far relating to the question..

What do you suggest if I want to put studs on it?
Are you supposed to use silicone on the gasket ?
I have seen people do that for extra sealing but is it not mandatory. If you tighten the pan evenly it should be fine.
Depends on the gasket if it rubber than no..
Forgot the spring under gasket.
Thanks for the clear video.👍

The video's are all very informative but the music sucks big time !!!!
IT apply for a 71 mustang ?
You could use gloves as these oils usually are less skin friendly.
how exactly do u add transmission fluid on these cars.... my 65 only has a black dip stick.... which i think is to check engine oil levels?
It's tricky, but a small funnel through the dipstick, is the only way.
Would this help you shift easier , I have a 3 speed Manuel on my 67 and it gets hard to shift , I really have to push the shifter hard .
This is for an automatic, a 3 speed manual would not have this setup. Fluid, shifter wear, clutch wear, worn internals can all cause that issue.
recommended transmission fluid for a 1966 mustang V6?
type f for my 65
Type F
Inline 6.
Wheres the dipstick for these trans or dont they have one??

Those rubber gaskets suck. Leak
I had more issues with cork myself - rubber was better for me with small amount of gasket sealer & Type F oil
