awesome video Not shoving anything down our throats, just showing the essentials for the job Thank you! Have to do this on my 99' soon.
Maaaannnn thank you for put together the most solid video on this kinda job I have seen in a long time... These guys now day have you listening like a therapist.... Jesus Christ!!
You make it sound so easy 😂😂 you’re the man bro. I’m going to watch this video 100 times and hop on the highway to go help my lil bro swap his.
Huge tip for the torque converter bolts. On the driver side there is a large rubber grommet you can pull and easily acess the bolts. Its in a similar spot at the starter except on the driver side.
Thanks for the tip I tried the shorty socket on a Dewalt half and ended up gearing it all the way back and jamming it from spinning in either way I had to use a shorty breaker bar 😒 wish I read the comments first
Superb video, great job Sir!
Thanks... I try, but I'm bad at this 😆
Good Shit Bro thank you for sharing your work and knowledge
One time I changed a spark plug on my lawn mower
Now you have achieved the top of your life
😂🤣
Yeah ,go me,and I like tattertots
That nut on the shifter of the transmission was the hardest part for me.
Lmao I tried the wrench tappidy tap at the same time u did on the drive shaft
Chris vs machine.
Always bet on Chris he always wins.
Any advice on how to remove trash from cooler lines and cooler from metal particles being in the fluid before transmission swap is performed..? Thanks 👍
Cooler kleen or similar pressurized solvent cleaning agent.
Hi I’m trying to find a solution for my Mercury Grand Marquis’s. It’s a 2001 and I need to replace the transmission and there’s three models. On mine the id code is 1w7P AA and I was wondering what the difference is between the BA and DA and if I could use a transmission from a crown Victoria with low miles.
Your best bet is to replace it with the same calibration code. Differences can be valve body, gearing, torque converter, and programming. I understand the urge to try to put in a lower mileage unit, but the potential issues that can result are not worth the attempt in my opinion.
I'm having trouble with where the bolts go I can't put the transmission in bc I don't know
You are going to have to change the angle of the transmission either by lowering it or lifting it. You can then use a bunch of extensions to reach it. You might realize that you are going to be a couple feet behind the trans just to see the bolts and be able to put them in
My crown has a screeching sound at start coming from under the car and between the engine and transmission and stays on gets louder as I put it in drive but only drives at 20 mph what could it be?
If you are certain it is coming from between the engine and transmission... it could be the flexplate, torque converter, transmission. Verify the source of the noise. If you are not experienced in raising a car and getting under it sagely, please consult someone who is before attempting to jack up the car and crawl under it.
Mine was pump bearing shot. Like he says first pinpoint were the sound is coming from.
I have a Crown Victoria 2008 that needs a transmission replacement/repair I suspect. Had all the signs when it stopped working. Now it's dead because the battery is discharged. What should I expect in terms of costs at the car shop? You make it look easy. They will make is sound complicated, long, and expensive. I love the car but couldn't afford to repair it, and now I have to do something about it. Any ballpark estimate would help. Thank you.
Cost of replacement transmission, new fluid and filter + labor. Expect to pay 750-1250 for labor. Possibly more now that the u.s. dollar is basically worthless. Do not skimp on the job. Replace both the transmission and the torque converter.
Thank you. @@OccultEngineering
Do I drain my fluids before I change it
You don't have to drain the transmission fluid before pulling it but it can prevent a mess if you do
Did you have to reprogram the transmission after the replacement?
No...
But I did ensure that the replacement unit was an exact match to the one that came out. There is an info tag on the tranny with identification numbers and calibration code, when sourcing a replacement.. ensure that the calibration codes match and it should run fine without reprogramming.
What is the other cable on the outside of the transmission shifter cable that goes to the rear of the car that is connected to a iron plate it’s more to the left of the transmission. Cable line.
If you take a video of what you are talking about and post it on your channel, then comment here after it's posted... I will take a look and identify it. It could be a speedometer cable, or a parking brake cable, or a sensor... not sure exactly what you are referring to.
@@OccultEngineering hey I post a pic with a arrow on it
@Blackmarc__ that is the parking brake cable.
@@OccultEngineering will that make any difference on how the transmission work?
@Blackmarc__ the parking brake is not connected to the transmission, but if it is seized and won't release, it will make the car feel like it is dragging, or not move at all if it is holding strong enough. Yours appears to have just slightly dislocated from the bushing slot on the bracket. It will not interfere with the normal operation of the transmission, it only controls the parking bracket on the rear wheels. It is critical that the parking brake operate freely for safe driving conditions. If it is seized up and the parking brake is engaged, even if you are able to roll... the rear drums will heat up quickly and can crack, or warp, blow out brake cylinder seals, and even cause tire blowout while going down the road. Just make sure the parking brake freely operates.
How much would a lift like this cost?
As little as you have to spend to be bigger than you need. Because eventually it won't be big enough if this is what you do to occupy your time.
06:30 everyone keeps skipping this... Mine is snugged up so hard and impossible to get loose.
Wait you're in ga?
Not anymore. This video was made in Georgia. Recently relocated to another state.
U forgot to mark the shaft. Some are balanced.
I did mark the shaft at the diff, just wasn't on video. I just scratched one side of the flange with a screwdriver. Good catch! 👍
what was wrong with it
Transmission cooler line rubbed against the a/c compressor and chewed through. happened at highway speed with no indication of the failure until it ran out of fluid and cooked the pump. deadski. I put in a used unit from LKQ with a 100k mile warranty.
@@OccultEngineering oh man yeah I just change my reverse band now I'm thinking I have to change my transmission mounts how much did your transmission cost
@@anthonyscvpi5154 it was like $1300 with a 100k mile warranty. I think it was like $1600 after shipping and tax and all that. This is not my car, it is one of the crew home/work commute shuttle cars for the guys that work for the company who's fleet and equipment I maintain. The only real pain in the ass is that crossmember. A heavy slide hammer is the best medicine coupled with penetrating fluid and anger.
@@OccultEngineering oh okay cool i might have to pick one up and i know it took me 2 days to get that off but i follow your video and you had good information I wanted to tell you thank you .
Man, you missed ALOT!!!!
My channel is NOT a how to channel. I don't really care if my videos help you or not. Figure shit out on your own. I owe you nothing.
@@OccultEngineering You don’t, but thanks for being an ass. I didn’t mean anything bad but other than I’ve done it. So thanks for jumping to conclusions and I owe you nothing!
@@bigescargarage2467 sorry man, a long day of fighting with a 6.0 powerstroke coupled with my autistic defense response triggered my go F yourself button.
@@OccultEngineeringI also own a 6.0, a 7.3 and a Vic, and they keep me way to busy and broke lol
I never had a choice. I will bring down every one responsible for it. Navy ssp
I am not so sure i would use this video as a guide for anything
Thank you so incredibly much for gracing us with your valuable input. The modus operandi on this channel is typically tethered to the assumption of the viewers predicate acquisition of mechanical aptitude. In the future we will strive to include content more leveraged to assist the inept.
@@OccultEngineering As someone who is a bit more mechanically inclined I thought this video was pretty straight forward and easy to follow and understand what's being and been done. Filming these kinds of videos is a pain in the ass too, its not as easy as it looks to get every little angle and also do all the work on your own. The only thing I would perhaps liked to have witnessed a little bit more of for future knowledge was the removal of the crossmember. Definitely looks like a hard time. Even the guys on Hotrod Garage and PowerNation had a hard as hell time with it. Nice work, wish I had a lift lol.
Ive dine this 4x on the ground its not that bad. He's definitely a rookie
