Will this fix my transmission leak?

- My C4 transmission has had a slow leak every since we installed it and I think it's because we didn't install the original pan and gasket correctly. So, today we're fixing that.
They didn't sponsor this video, but this is the gasket I bought and it seems to be working well so far:

Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! These superthanks still shock me!! Thank you for the generosity and encouragement!!!
Glad too. Sorry I couldn't keep being a Patreon patron. Had other priorities for, and a lesser amount of, my disposable income at the time.
Did your dad ever buy himself an old Ford? I can still fix him up with a 69 Ranchero!
When I had my second Falcon, a 68 with a 289 V8, I had an oil leak, had the car up on ramps and cleaned the engine, and it appeared to be leaking at the gasket. So I removed it and reinstalled it. I still had the leak. I worked harder at cleaning the engine and inspecting for the leak. It turned out to be the pressure sensor. That was a plug similar to a sparkplug in appearance. I bought a new one and installed it. No more problem. Your transmission problem reminded me of it.
Good job, one nice benefit working at an auto shop is using a lift for personal auto repairs! Great job Ellie!
Right?! It's the best!! Thank you!!
You are becoming a wonderful young adult.... You will have the world at your fingertips with all the knowledge you have received from your dad and I wont forget Advanced auto...... You have wisdom far beyond your peers.
At 00:08. I make that same noise when I mess something up, but usually followed by some colorful language I learned in the service. Too funny Ellie! You are in good company.
Great job and yes learning as we go, LOL. Good to see Carl getting out and about.
Good job on the pan gasket replacement 👍🏿... Another place to keep an eye out for leaks is the Servo and band adjustment nuts. They're NOTORIOUS for leaking and blowing fluid every which way and the pan gasket usually gets the blame.
AWESOME job Ellie. Take it from a vetrean trans builder, banging out the pan like you did was good. FYI...check the bolts on the band servos to make sure they are tight too, and the modulator as well. Tthes are promblem spots as well for leaks on the C-4;s....MOPAR 4 EVER.
Nice job on identifying the leak and learning your mistakes, if it were mine and I knew I was going to keep it, I would have put in a drain plug kit for next time I changed my transmission filter! Your boss should have suggested this too!
That's a good call! I'll keep that in mind for the next fluid change. Thanks!
Good gosh! It's great to have a REAL lift to do these things, isn't it? When I was an active-duty Air Force guy, there was a place on the base where I could rent a stall with a lift and tools to work on my car by myself. Like you, I learned A LOT by doing this. I wonder if there are places for civilians to go and rent stalls with a lift... I am SO happy you not only have this resource as a result of your job, but that you can also SUCCEED in diagnosing and repairing the problem. A simply stellar result! Aloha!
Try looking up makerspace near you there is one in Dallas, pay to join and they have tons of equipment and teachers in all kinds of things!
Aloha to you! Thank you as always!!
I'm a little surprised you didn't use a torque wrench to make sure you didn't over-tighten the bolts. I have an inch-pounds torque wrench on my christmas list for just this kind of work. :)
Good call. I think it's about 15 ft. lbs., but I was just feeling like I'd make it snug and be done. Probably not the best idea but I think I was just kind of worn out at the end of the day. ha
@@ElliesGarage oh yeah, we’ve all been there. :) great that it’s not leaking, so it’s a win!
Nicely done ✔️ 😊
Thanks 😁
Very informative video and the Falcon is a great looking car.
Great video as always! Got ya shared on our social media!
Great job, had to do the same thing with my valve cover. Thanks for another awesome video.
Thank you so much!!!
I'm having the exact same from my c4 transmission in my 67 mustang. A couple years ago I swapped out the original transmission pan because I thought it was warped and I got one with a drain been through different gaskets and just Friday I ordered what looks like the same one you got in the video from national parts Depot and it just came in today. Hopefully it fixes my situation
i had the same problem..changed it 3 times..finally took it to a transmission shop
My 65 falcon does the same thing
Look up lubelocker for a transmission pan gasket for a c4....
Yep. That's the one we installed. I should probably put that in the description
did you know, that 99% of Ford Transmissions "seep" a bit?
I had no idea! But now I'll feel better if it happens in the future. Thanks!
Great job. May I suggest a metal ruler (straight edge). I always check mating surfaces.
Thank you and that's a great tip!
@@ElliesGarage Well, Carl deserves the best!👍
Look into a AOD FORD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Transmission fluid makes a good hair conditioner.
😂😂😂
How come you took the stickers of the back window
enjoyed this video.........ed
what was the gasket/torque you used I've been having some trouble with a leaky C4
I bought it from a company called Lubelocker:
