FordTechMakuloco can you link the valve body removal/replacement videos?
Great information man. But why would you not upgrade to metal check balls? Did ford design it so if you did that it wouldn't work right?
It will be up Monday and I will update links to this video
Ford used rubber for a reason, I am not going to reengineer the trans.
FordTechMakuloco
That's true. Thanks for the reply and the great videos.
Ford sold 2.7 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2017....This guy should have at least that many subs.
Lol
You are a gift to the working man Brian...thx for the heads up....
Oh.... I almost forgot! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! PRICELESS INFORMATION!!!! I WISH ALL MECHANICS WERE HONEST LIKE YOU!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
Thanks so much, I just completed my 8 check balls installation in about 3 hours with no lift. Yep one of them was smaller than the others and one had split into three pices. I was lucky to find all the small pieces, Your video made the job easy and cheap with the biggest expense being the fluid.. The transmission now shifts like new, with more power to the wheels. Past symptons were fast shifting along with 1st and 2nd gears trying to engage at the same time. Thanks again and glad it is fixed!
You Sir are incredible!!!!
You truly care about your customers and the fellow man.
Just a wealth of knowledge who isn't insecure about sharing it due to the paranoid syndrome of "putting you out of work"
Absolutely priceless. Really. It is an easy fix, but I never would have contemplated it without your clear demonstration here (and your other 4th gear video involving the valve body). I just did this to my 2007 f150. My #7 ball was split and lodged in the plate. I had the 'sense' to check the overdrive accumulator snap ring, which had both ears...(but, I actually know that now)
I checked out some other videos and put some sonnax upgades, a new plate and gaskets. (the 'since you're in here' effect)
And, of course, you're right about the thing driving like new. I'm blown away and feel like a genius. I spent maybe three hundred for everything - including fluid/filter. Thanks so much! You have no idea.
effin' sweet dude...
Your tutorials are the greatest. Thank you. My '04 3v 5.4 Triton lost Overdrive at 140,000 miles. I'm re-watching your 4R70E vids to get the guts to drop the valve body.
Thanks for letting us know. Once again you are a huge help for shade tree mechanics everywhere.
Your the goat my 04 f150 was passed down from my papa then my dad and now me I’ve had it for 4 years now I I plan on keeping it forever your videos are so helpful thank you so much sir.
This just confirmed my problem with my 2004 F-150 with the 5.4 Triton. She's got 276,000 miles and had the transmission valve body replaced about two years ago by a local shop that's been around for many years. It just started the very low idle at a stop, but comes back to normal idle if I put it in Neutral. Time to give that shop a call... Thank you FordTechMakuloco!
You are awesome! Learned so much from you too and saved thousands of dollars watching your videos. Did a timing job on my 5.4 triton watching your video. Keep up the great work!!
I always switch out the metal check balls, used in the GM Trans such as the 4L60/65/70E, with Sonnax Torlon Check Balls. They are some type of plastic that is very strong. Problem with the metal check balls is they pound the separator plate and embed themselves into the plate causing the clutches to burn, or not shift. I also like to use TransGo Hardened Separator Plates whenever possible. Much stronger plate, as well as modified holes for better shifting for longevity.
Just put new valve body gasket and rubber check valves my truck shift great now. Thanks for the awesome videos. My truck shifted thru all the gears by 40mph and almost dies at stop. Thanks again got told I need a transmission lol.
You saved me over 2k. I cant thank you enough for your honesty
Steel balls over time hammer the plate. I use the 4R100 balls. Never had an issue. Great videos dude..
Thanks for this video! Did this on my 2009 Grand marquis LS with 60k on it. You described the symptoms perfectly and with this video I was able to complete the repair myself. This video saved me $2,200. The transmission shop wanted to sell me a rebuilt transmission.
NICE!!
Can this be done to fix intermediate slipping from 1st-2nd and very slow to engage in D from park? I have a 4r75w
Aloha's Bruddah. YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS TOP SHELF !! Thanks Huge! Always know that when I watch any video you create that is guaranteed to be a Really Helpful vid that will contain Top Shelf, Simple To Understand repair procedures and be an Informative video info. Also, I absolutely can't wait for your next videos. Hope your next vid has those kool it too has animation sounds when it shifts into gear ;)
Thank you Makuloco! Just had a customer vehicle come in with this problem but it is intermittent and has no codes, Trans was recently serviced and it drives great other than the occasional issue in 2nd gear. Going to pull the valve body and take a look.
Thank you for this valuable information.
I guess I will continue on with my stick shift, manual transmissions.
That was a short sweet and a very great learning experience thank you! your videos is always are great and helpful that's totally appreciate them! You are the absolute best!
I have ALL of these symptoms in my 94 Mustang GT AODE. Thanks for the tip!
Best video yet had mine rebuilt lost 4th gear and when you slow down to turn into a parking lot the engine tries to stall getting down to about 400rpm causing very hard steering!!! I thought the pwr steering pump was going out but from all the research this video has shown me all my problems are coming from the tranny!!!!! This video needs to be widely shared @@!!!
Thanks Brian for sharing your vast knowledge!
Amazing! Those symptoms have been haunting me for months. Can't wait to see your full video. When that's posted can you give some pointers for us suckers with 2004 F-150 trucks that don't have transmission dipsticks? How can we keep an eye on our ATF and fill it properly? If anyone can help it's you!
Awesome video! I think this is exactly what's going on in my 05 E150. Started stalling when shifting into 2nd from park, like the torque converter is engaged. Lugs way down shifting into 2nd when letting it coast into gear. And surges when coming to a stop. Guess I know what I'll be doing soon. This problem has been driving me insane trying to solve it. Thanks for the video!
@W D this indeed did turn out to be my issue for what it's worth
The old hot dog problem, hot dogs are in ten packs and buns are in eight packs. It's a government plot.
Lol
the Russians did it.........
Thanks for sharing. I have had a problem with not down shifting at stop signs.
Really appreciate the time you put into the information you’ve given in your videos. I fixed my 2008 F150 XLT (140k) yesterday, new wheel bearings, new brakes and rotors, the transmission check balls and flushed fluid new gaskets and filter. Your videos gave me the confidence to take on this challenge. Truck is running so smooth I barely feel the shifting of the gears. Not to mention the money I save thanks and keep up the hard work
Hi - Was your servo snap ring broken when you took the transmission valve cover off? If so, how did you put the servo back in as FordTech uses a special tool to put it back in (a different video). Did putting in the new transmission balls fix the shifting issues? My 2008F150 has a difficult time going into 1st gear and also the OD light flashes and Trans Fault light comes on every time I drive. Thanks
safarila1 what Was the problem with it sr?
safarila1 mine was not broken but I did replace the ring for good measure. I use a jack to keep the servo in place so I didn’t replace it. I was lucky everything was very clean almost no metal dust on the magnet and the fluids looks awesome for not being flushed ever I’m pretty sure. The manufacturers plug was still in the pan. I did however replace all the check balls and they where due. It was like night and day once I got out on the open highway very smooth and lots of power.
I’m having no reverse but engages. Any similarity.
Your videos are life savers! Thanks and god bless
Thanks for the great videos man, you should do vlogs!
Can steel balls be substituted for the rubber ones?
As much as I love my Fords I really wish they'd get their shit together in the transmission department
Good morning... I might need this some day.. thanks..
Just did this job in our shop today. Just FYI, it took 11 quarts of Merc V to fill up. Dry spec. is 13 quarts on complete overhaul. Removing valve body must allow everything except lower half of convertor to drain.
That is around what I experienced when refilling this one, though it sat for almost 2 days draining waiting on parts.
Thank you. I am keeping a record of “ Points of Correction “ for my 2005 F 150. Instead of buying a new truck , I have decided to properly Remanufacture the one I own. Please consider offering an “ Update / Remanufacture” package for F150 owners. It would be nice to drop it off, pick it up a few weeks later with all the corrections made.
Thumbs up Brian!
Spot on tip! Thank you Brian
Steel checkballs have the tendency to dig in to the separator plate. I have seen it many many times in different trannys. A plastic or composite ball do not do that and it is also lighter and can move/seal quicker than steel. Rubber seal great but obviously vear. I vould stick to plastic or rubber anyway
The new ones are not rubber. Their reinforced nylon. Very hard to wear out...
Hello. Thanks a lot for your very useful videos. I recently bought a 2008 F-150 STX 4x4, 4.6 engine, transmission code Q (4R75E I think). It shifts weird, like no clear difference between gears. Truck has 120k miles, very well taken care off. I was thinking about changing all the fluid and the filter when I stumbled with this video. Question: How difficult is this to do with the transmission on the truck? I rebuilt a few engines and manual transmissions, but never took apart an automatic one (replaced fluid and filters on several though). Thanks again!
I an still trying to figure out who keeps thumbs downing Brian’s videos. Must be some competition or manufacturer fanboys 😆. Thanks for the great videos. Keep em coming.
Competition I’m sure or people that want quick to the point videos only. In this line of work attention to detail is important though.
Great video very valuable information thanks
First! Great info, thank you! That's alot of check balls lol
Great stuff as always. But please do some videos on the Powershift gearboxes, especially the wet clutch version. Software/firmware tricks and hints, and well as how to make it do a re-learn and calibration. Also anything on oil change etc...
Just any information you have on these boxes would be great!
those are power shit transmissions if you check out he already has a couple of videos on them. since you say wet clutch i'll assume you are from across some pond. i know the indonesian and australian markets use them after the debockle that made these ford subsidiarys eat crow. possibly europeans too . to my knowledge (being admittedly limited ) i am unaware that wet cluched powershifts have been used in the americas. great idea in theory but an excercise in frustration on implementation.
That's great info Brian thanks !
We watch your video in Russia. thanks for the good content.
Lol🤣
Thanks for your videos! God bless you!
Great info buddy thank you so much.
Good stuff my dude
Very informative, thank you!
Hey FordTechMakuloco,
can you give tips to diagnose a transmission shift concern? How can I identify that the problem is in the valve body or that the problem is a clutchpack? And thanks for the great videos👍🏻
Hello really enjoyed your videos helped me out a lot ! I'm trying to find a video on doing a trans flush on ford focus did you do one on this ?? 2008 ses coupe automatic trans
Excellent videos
Cool video ford tech
FordTechMakuloco I have a '14 F-150 5.0 4x4 that has a similar problem. It has 59k miles, barely within powertrain warranty, so I took it to my local dealer in June. They had my truck for 7 weeks, they overhauled the trans with new planetaries, clutches, valve body, and torque converter and they put in a new transfer case as well. When I got my truck back, I drove off the lot, around the block, and back into the service department because the problem was still there. Their response was to wait 1500 miles for the adaptive learning to take effect.
The problem is the 2-3 upshift during any rate of acceleration, right after the upshift the engine tone drastically changes, like it is lugging very hard then immediately shifts to 4th, completely knocking the engine out of its power band. Initially I thought a clutch pack went bad but could it have to do with the engine's variable valve timing? Accelerating to highway speed takes twice as long now.
Great video thank you for sharing
You are a genius! Wow! Thank you so much for the video! 🤜🤛
GREAT info!
Great info ,
Thank you
Great information
Hey thanks for all the great videos! Do you recommend these shift improvement kits that they sell on rock auto?
My F150 pulls really well and then falls on its face in 2nd gear. I wonder if this is my problem? I'll have to check this and see if it helps. Thanks again Brian. BTW, I already had to replace the snap ring that broke and caused me to lose overdrive. Very common problem on these trucks. A $2 snap ring has caused a lot of people to pay a lot of money for an unnecessary rebuild.
Great video thanks for the info! Is it possible to get steel check ball replacements somewhere?
Or would that be bad, would it wear the aluminum then?
Dude this is huge. I'm looking forward to the video where you pull this valve body out. I have an 05 expy that has the rapid shift thing and it drives me crazy
Monday 6am it will be out.
FordTechMakuloco keep up the good work! Your channel is a goldmine of information!
czcams.com/video/Ikk56cIHL_g/video.html
I'm waiting for auto manufacturers to start including rubber lifters in the engine ... 🤯
Great tip - thanks! 👍
Lol...Or rubber pistons...They'll just bounce up and down.
🤣
shhh. Don't give them any ideas!
I know, right? lol
What blows my mind is they market so people believe it's better. They say fuel efficient or environmentally friendly its crap. The real reason it's cheap and do you see auto prices dropping. Fires me up thinking about it. It's sad when cars are barely making 150k
Good information thanks
Any specific reason you replace them with new rubber balls? Wouldn't it be better to just install metal balls and never have the issue again?
No they are hard on the plates.
Makuloco, great videos, ive done timing jobs from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Question i have a 4r75e code po720, replaced that sensor with original part. Still having same issue. When taking off transmission slipping slight vibration coming from transmission od light flashing but if i bring it up to 45-50 mph seems to drive ok. Do you think transmission is shot or it can be these check balls? Transmission fluid n filter replaced last year color still red no burn smells
Having same issue here, what was the problem or how you fixed?
I am just wondering if you could upgrade then balls to a steel or aluminum ball just wondering this helped me out alot
What complete transmission rebuild kit would you recommend for the 4r75e and could you do a complete rebuild video thank you so much
AWESOME video my guy, you know your stuff! I have been experiencing these problems, but then I got some new symptoms today. Today when I went into reverse and it was jerking / sticking while backing up. Go to pull forward and does same thing. Vehicle rolls freely in neutral. There is a whining noise present in park and neutral, but goes away when any gear is applied. Could this be valve body/ check ball related?
My truck does the same, did you get this figured out?
THANK YOU!
Yeah I have a 04 2v f150 4.6. Just lost 3rd, 4th and overdrive. But it has 250,000 on original Tran parts so I’m hoping it’s just snap rings or check valve. Any advice would be great . Thanks for video
Someone may have already asked this, but while I have valve body down is it worth swapping in a modified one with firmer shifting for better tow performance and around town? I intend to get a travel trailer early next year.
I appreciate your video. my 2010 4.6 F150xl is like your video. It only stalls out when you put it in 2nd gear and a oil can comes on the dash It drives and runs great except the wrench light comes on as soon as you hit second gear. know any good mechanics in NC? Thanks so much
Thank you.
What if I didn't find any broken snap ring or worn out looking balls? I was really hoping to find a worn out ball! My issue was a low power issue in low gears as well. Thanks!
i noticed the plastic check balls are gm p/n, being a gm tech i have a decent amount of these available, have you replaced the rubber ones with the plastic personally? or are they just the same size and would work?
I sure appreciate the video I'm Good at wrenching on cars but when it comes to an automatic transmission they scare the hell out of me If I lose or one of those balls go I know it's not gonna work gonna work thanks for the video it's a lot of important stuff I'm gonna try to see what the hell happens thank you
Any videos regarding code p0720? I have a 2004 Mercury Monterey that is throwing two codes p0720 and p0722. Any videos on how to replace the output speed sensor?
Better to get the Sonnax imidized plastic checkballs?
Great video. Can you tell me why the flow from tranny to a cooler is so weak? I have the same tranny on my e350 and I performed a flow test directly from tranny to an empty bottle. So I got one quart in 2 minutes which is bad sign. But it shifts like it should and there is no codes or issues except high working temp. Thanks.
Nice!! You gotta wonder what the engineers were thinkin'....LOL (rubber balls)... :-)
Does the 2009 f150 have this same setup as well? Tha k you very much
I think Hiram Gutierrez recommends Chrysler check balls.
Your right but if you are overhauling the trans you are going to replace the servo
Would the 6R80 in the 2009 expeditions have a similar issue? Mine just seems to be sluggish. Hit the accelerator, downshift, but the vehicle seems to not really accelerate.
when you change a check balls did you replace the small one number 7 a biger one ??
Could this cause the hard clunk when it downshifts? Wish you had a shop near me, 2004 new body style 4.6 4x4
Curious to know if you've got an answer to a question I've been trying to get answered.
I have an 09 f150 with a 4.6 and 4r75e. I have a possible planetary thrust washer failure and I need to source a trans. Will a 04-08 f150 or a newer van/panther platform 75e work since those vehicles are drive by wire??
My 4r75e has fluid seeping out of the dipstick under high rpm situations. The trans seems to be venting. This pressure is high enough to push the stick out. Any advice?
My Marauder has a 4R75W trans (4R70W) - assuming it’s close to your description...does ford at very least, have METAL replacement balls, should this ever happen to me?
Check separator plate for cracks.
How about a video on fixing reverse
GREAT! SOME FLUID A FILTER AND SOME BALLS @ 5:12 😂😂😂
Its hard to believe how cheap manufacturers can get. Not using steel balls, ridiculous. Thanks for the info Brian.
Replacement part means more money with servicing/ Buy a new vehicle.
Plastic balls are common also in industrial pumps, in some of the most expensive ones. If anything, steel makes replacements more expensive, being plastic doesn't necessarily mean "trash"
Plastic just means it's lighter than metal and makes the car more fuel efficient, yeah right. LMAO
@@ozzstars_cars Thats bullshit for small components tho
+Spaniardchris well that's what the car manufacturers say the reason they use plastic valve covers and intake manifolds.... lightweight and fuel efficient my ass!! hahahaha
Thanks for the video. Could you advise me, i am frustrated. My 4r75e on 2006 e350 van has weak volume in cooler lines so transmission overheats extremely fast. Fluid is not coming fast directly out ports. I put new lines, got new filter, new fluid and even a cooler. But still no success. One quart test showed that fluid fills the bottle in 5 minutes not 30-40 seconds. And after all transmission shifts great in all gears. All inwant to know is what happened to a pressure in cooler lines. Thanks in advance!
Hey Brian I have an 07 Expedition and really don't have the shudder problem. My problem is around the 45 to 50 range especially if the cruise is on to where it shifts gently all the sudden wam you fell it in the like front end feels like you ran over a log in the road. Other wise it shifts fine. Took it to my local Ford shop they said no codes they couldn't get it to do it I took them for a drive and no problem recreating the problem at 45 to 50 mph at a light gas pedal it did it the tech shrugged his shoulders and said you transmission is shot? I don't buy that other wise it shifts good and has no problem pulling a 7000 pound boat. Any tips would be appreciated before a major problem shows it's head?
I'm planning on doing the check ball replacement this summer. I have this problem where the transmission sometimes won't disengage while braking. It powers the truck forward and I have to cut the engine before I have an accident. Any idea what that might be?
Similar symptoms on a 99...does this apply to the 4r70w as well?
