- I am going some preventative maintenance on my daily driver, a complete transmission flush. You will need a little more that the complete fill volume of the transmission. On my transmission I used 20 quarts of fluid to flush my 13.5 quart transmission plus the addition of Lubegard to convert Dexron III to Mercon V.

this is fine for these older transmissions. Use anything but factory OE fluid in modern transmissions? do so at your own risk. Also, by splitting you cooler lines like this, without fluid in the same rate of flow going back in starves parts of lubrication, again, modern transmissions? do this at your own risk. Also modern transmissions do not have dipsticks, and require special fill procedures, do this wrong, again at your own risk. Been doing this for 40+ years professionally. As simple as I could put it, do this with a CVT and you will be walking soon.
Automatic transmission fluid flush is like the number one thing that people should be concerned about and they're all about the same these days you should be flushing it every 40,000. Case in point BMW labeled a lot of their transmissions "lifetime fluid" so people never changed it. get into any used E90 with a 6-speed transmission over 100,000 miles and you'll see that the transmissions are shot. The clutch material naturally wears under normal condition which is suspended in the lubrication essentially creating a sandblasting material destroying all of the mechatronics hydraulic pathways and all of the bushings.
Instead of adding Lubegard to convert Dexron III to Mercon V, why not just buy Mercon V and forget the Lubegard and save $30.00?
Not sure you want to drive pan bolts in with a power tool - better to start them with your fingers / by hand so as not to take a chance of cross threading the bolt/hole. I don't know about Fords, but I thought there was a pattern to snugging up the bolts rather than simply starting at one and tightening them sequentially - counter-clockwise.
I believe in saving a buck but I'd rather take it in for that
I love how this feels like we're just hanging out at the shop now. "Hey i'll show you how to flush your trans"
If you don't flush it first should there be a lot more ATF fluid in the pan or does it make a difference if you flush it or not before doing this ?. I have plans to flush mine. But I don't know if I should take off the pan first or flush it first .🤔
Enjoyed your video on trans flush. Have two questions why was the pan full after being flushed just prior. Why use the Dextron w/additive vrs just use Micron V? Thank you Jim
when using stands and or ramps you should always chock you tired. put something behind your tires to keep it from rolling off the ramps and not a bad idea to support the vehicle with blocks in case the ramps collapse.
car runs good but after driving half hour on freeway transmission light comes on ?????
I wanted to know how to find the return line, now I know how to check thanks, I learned something.
Cool. This is the operation i fear the most.
Very detailed video.
Thank you nice & useful information
i think you are electronics master but seems you are all rounder
you did some really good editing ... nice job making the video ....
good technic.
Very nice job - - my only suggestion for future fluid changes, is to only use the Transmission fluid recommended without adding any additives. For your vehicle, Mercon V is "Required for 1996 and newer Ford vehicles and backwards compatible with
Got a question to see if I did it correctly. I hooked up the drain line from the oil cooler and I had my truck in park but running and all the fluid came out after I kept adding more fluid to flush it. When I dropped the pan there was hardly any transmission fluid (less than half a qt), so I think I drained mostly all the fluid I could. does that mean I got it out of the torque converter as well ?
So I have a question.do.i put the old filter back on to.pump out the fluid in the converter? I drain the pan first will it hurt the transmission if nothing is in it
