- This is a F150. The 4R70 is the smaller transmission in the trucks. The Crown Vics has these and some of the Explorers that had V8’s had them.
I was in a little bit of a hurry so if I missed anything you would like to know feel free to comment your questions or Email me.

Man, you made that look effortless. Having a lift sure beats laying on your back cursing your life 😂😂😂 Excellent video.
Big facts. My driveway is all gravel so I’m out here laying on a blanket trying my hardest to break these mf nuts loose. Would be awesome to invest in a lift.
@@theunknownassailant4966 they are fantastic well worth it if you can afford it
38 minutes is crazy. This took me 12 hours.
This video was AWESOME!! and we can’t forget your Camera Guy!! Thanks a million fellas ‼️💪🏾👍🏾
Looks easy with a lift, working off the floor is a bummer doing expeditions.
If it wasn’t for this video, I’d be screwed. Thanks for answering all my questions too. For anyone doing transmission work on an f150, this is the perfect video.
I just want you to know I think you did a great job on this video. It helped me out and gave me the confidence and guidance I needed. Me and my 14 yr old boy got about halfway pulling out the trans today I believe we will have it out tomorrow.
What a speed , technique, accuracy
Only one word legend 👍
Now can we see the driveway version with the truck up on jack stands laying on your back removing the transmission? That one will have much more colorful words. lol Nice job with the vid!
Is it even possible?
Yeah i was thinking the same thing.
That is what im doing right now an it ant nowhere near this easy at all.
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly, that's my next few days. Going to bake a cradle for motorcycle jack....
@@melvinmariott8609 I’ve made it to the point where I have to remove the starter and it’s been pretty easy so far. Fingers crossed!
Thanks! This is a great step by step video. I got my 2007 4x4 out clean after watching this.
That’s great man. I’m glad it helped.
Well I found this video after I removed mine. Sure wish I'd seen this before. Also, neet trick with the bar moving converter. Always done it by turning the harmonic balancer bolt. Great video, you covered everything with great detail. Them dam starter bolts though
Excellent video. I was dreading dropping the exhaust on my Navigator. I didn't even consider dropping the sway bar instead. Thank you!
I hope it goes smooth for you. Thanks for watching.
that's slicker n shit isn't it? 4 bolts and bob's your uncle.....
wat een vakman! in 36 minuten een versnellingsbak verwijderen waaaattt?!!.het koste mij 10 uur pff maar zonder dit filmpje had het mij niet gelukt. Top! thanks !!
dit filmpje is precies wat ik zocht, super bedankt!!
I admire the work done here in an amazingly short time. The only trouble I had was with the camera at times and the subtitles are terrible. They absolutely do not reflect what is being said. Great work, and extremely helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain!
He didn’t edit the subtitles
UA-cam shows whatever they think he said sometimes it’s way off
This video was extremely helpful, no issues till I got to the torque converter bolts. Wound up stripping the last nut... Doh. Had to use the air hammer to reverse stripped nut. Reinstalling I found my 8" crescent Pass-Thru set worked perfect for torquing flex-plate nuts. The ratcheting wrench and 14mm just barely fit in the inspection space.
Good evening family and good health to everyone. Good job 👍🏼👍🏼 and thank you very much for the valuable information and for your time.
Thanks much for the video. Im getting ready to drop the trans on a 2002 4x4 with a 4R70W. Hope the process is similar. Thanks again !
Everything should be pretty close to the same.
35 minutes to pull the transmission in a 4WD truck? Even with a lift that's really quick. Great work man, great video!
You are amazing, just goes to show you, where there is a will there is a way! Great job!
thanks lad! looking to tackle this on my 2008 next weekend
most excellent thanks so much for taking the time to show us your expertise ...that dam top starter bolt aint no joke but i got it done!!
Thanks for the detailed video, I have to do that job this week. and have not been looking forward to it.. now I am thanks to your video.
You got this. If you run into any problems. Email me or message me. I’ll try to walk you through it.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Thanks, I managed to get the transmission out, starter top bolt took three days of frustrations. Found that the 6" extension was not quite long enough, cut and welded a one inch peice in.. perfect... then a buddy of mine said to use the 6" 3/8 extension and a 3/8-1/4 adapter with the 1/4 13mm socket, lenght would be perfect. I am now in process of reinstallation of newer transmission. I have it lined up and 2 torque converter bolts in. Your video was excellnet and very informatiove.. Now I got to finnd torque for housing bolts. Thanks,,,, Rick in Newfoundland
Thank you for this videos out of all the videos related to this topic I found this video to be the most informative
I must admit, this is THE FIRST, and THE only ONE tutorial video on YT that i have watched, where i did not think "what are you taking that off for????? You (*^&%)&*^)&(&(&"
This man is VERY good. Hands down, sincere thank You
Thank you for refreshing my memory about to knock this out now!!! lol
Get it Brother
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 can I use a 4×4 f 150 2005 in a 2 wheel drive f 150 2005
The output shaft is different length. You would have to take the transmission apart to change it. It’s the last part to come out of the case
You near Philadelphia. You make it look easy lol. Amazing
Excellent vid. Thank you for making it. For whatever reason the transcript popped up on my phone. If you want a good chuckle read what the Google AI thought you were saying 🤣
You are more of a mechanic that most out there, you know what you are doing. I did not get so lucky on my starter removal, the side bolt snapped off leaving me no ability to get it out, Laying on my back in cramped space attempting to weld a nut on it failed. I have been looking at what all was involved and it looks pretty straight forward except for the bloody lift. I am looking at changing out the flexshaft due to starter issue, I am on my third starter and I have to rotate the crankshaft every few starter attempts........
Good you put light so scene is more clear
Great video I am gonna replace my flex plate in my 07 and have been looking for a how to video and this is by far the most informative step by step video on youtube. Great job hope you keep them coming.
Thanks man. Will do.
Awesome work. My memory is refreshed and I got it removed in 3 hours lol a lil slow but next time ima be faster lol
It’s a perishable skill. It takes a little bit to get back into it.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 man you had some good tips like go through the bottom of the trans to spin the flywheel. Kinda hard but I was able to make it work.
I'm having to do this to my RWD 1998 F-150 and I'm kinda happy the exhaust bolts connecting the cats to the manifold broke making me take the manifold off cause on jackstands I took the tire off and the starters right there
Hi Bud
This is great.
Please make a video of an install.
I purchased a 2008 F150 - I purchased a new/refurbished transmission.
Thank you for showing your craft

I have one in the shop now. I’ll try to get a video this week
Any update on the install video? Getting ready to do my 07' 4r75e
From south korea
Really thx bro😂
I wish tomorrow can removal well
With your education
This was awesome! I could not have fixed my truck without your in depth walk through! I really appreciate you taking the time out to make such an in depth and informative video. It took me a few days but the truck runs like a dream!
Hey man, that’s great. I’m glad it helped.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 how to tell what what transmission i have??, a own a Ford f150 2004 4x4 4.6
There’s a big difference in the transmissions that could be in there. Yours is more than likely the 4r70. It could possibly have a 4r100. The 4r100 is about twice the size. Pan on a 4r100 is long and more rectangle and odd shaped at the back end. The 4r70 is more of a square pan.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 is there any tag that can tell exactly what a had? I need to order a rebuild kit a i need the exact model
Sticker on door look for tr u is r70 e is 100
Great video!! Please wear safety glasses to protect your vision. .👍👍
Thanks 4 the video. It does helps
Great. Thanks for watching
Thanks so much great help 😊
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Great video! Wish it was here around 7 months ago. Rebuilt my 1st trans outta my dads 98 150 with a 4r70w 4x4. Looks the same beside tosion bars and sway bar. Those starter bolts tho. Had to pull the exhaust also, I was on the ground(NOT SHURE IF I NEEDED TO). Nice tip on barring over the converter, I hopped up to alternator to turn to the converter bolts. Got any 4r100 rebuild videos in the works? I got a 7.3 powerstroke with some slipping. Will be my next trans project.
Yeah the late 90’s model you have to take the exhaust out. The starter bolts are never fun. The top one sucks.
I’ll work on a video for 4r100 next time I get one in.
Good Work👍🏾
I use my snap on cordless electric ratchet with a shallow swivel and an extension on the top two bolts for the starter, but it barely fits even with the long neck. PS any DIY guys wanting to do this in the driveway, this job won’t be fun and will take a ton of time without power tools, air ratchet/electric, 3/8” impact minimum, 1/2” is needed in the rust belt for sure. I nearly fainted when I saw he was able to get the driveline bolts out with a 3/8”
Thanks for the video sir. I’m about to drop one from the salvage yard and this video definitely helps. What is the main cause of the transmission failure? I’ve never had a problem with my personal vehicles, I got a slick fx4 on trade and went to look up dropping transmissions and noticed a lot of videos. Mine currently works until it gets to temp and then the reverse will take a second to engage. I’d like to take it apart and attempt to repair it for down the road since it’ll be a spare.
Nice job!!
great skills
great video thanks
Good job.
Need to know what the plug is on the passenger side of F-150 transmission
Is this what I sound like ...tell that's a good Ole boy there
Thank you Sir, you’re a good man!
have a 98 4r70w 4x4 with a 7 pin chassis harness. Trans failed and I bought a used 97 4r70w 4x4 but come to find out it's a 9 pin connector on trans. How hard is it to repin harness on truck or change solenoid and harness on trans? Directions please and thanks in advanced!
Sweet you the man!!!!
Hello, where does this box have the speed sensor that sends the information to the dashboard in relation to the speed of the vehicle
I did this on my 2007 f150 with Regular shop jack and And some ratchet strap but the only shitty part is that exhaust but I managed to get work with a few tools it’s not that bad
That’s awesome.
it dont get any better than that! thanks for sharing! about how did it take you to take out and put back in?
ThanQ!!
That’s a bad dude right there
Awesome 👏
I have 1 now I'm working on , rebuilt the motor , got it sitting on the motor mounts just can't seem to get it stabbed in . Anyone have any advice on stabbing it back with transmission in place or will I have to drop the transmission an try an put it back with motor an transmission connected with using a a frame an chain fall ?
People watching Netflix, I'm watching this guy rip this trans out in record time lol
Hello everyone... I got a question.. I'm currently replacing my transmission but I got mount one every but when I try to move my torque converter isn't moving at all any tip what causing it ?
PTSD of my arms falling asleep XD
Very interesting
Did u guys make a video of it going back in
Great info
Thanks
I'm real lazy and I'm way ahead of where I thought I would have been. In only three hours and its on the ground
By the way working on the ground and no power tools. Still proud of myself
That’s awesome man.
You are definitely the man thanks for the show Cleveland ohio
20:45 oh man, how many times have I been in that situation? lol.....Last time, buddy walks by "what the F you doin under there"
Playing maracas what do you think? lol
Hey Fellas, thanks for the removal video. For installation (4R75E) are there any tips/tricks to aid a novice?
Make sure your converter is all the way back in the pump. When you’re bolting you’re the the engine take your time to make sure your studs on your converter are lining up in the holes on the flex plate. They will stick through a little when bolted up. Then you will need to pry it back flush with the flex plate.
Just take your time.
Good video. I have a 2006 F150 Supercab with 5.4. I need to replace the rear main seal on the engine. To do so, I have to get the transmission out of the way, at least partially. Would it be possible to disconnect the transmission and "float" it back about 6 inches to get to the rear main seal without completely dropping it?
If it’s 4x4 look at how much room is between the exhaust and transfer case. That is probably what will hit first when sliding it back
I have an 07 4x4 I really have to accelerate hard to get it back up even with wheels off the ground. 200k I've purchased 3 solenoids not sure if I'm trying these or replacing tyranny with a used 1 help
Sounds like you have clutches or a band burnt. Probably gonna need replace. I don’t believe solenoids will help.
Thank you for the informative video. I was wondering if you need to drop the transfer case if your replacing the flex plate?
I’m not sure. Look at everything and try to measure how far you can slide it back before it hits. It would save time. But I would hate to get everything loose and not have enough room.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 thank you, I have a tape measure in hand.

"Mmh hmm"
You’re just a boy, you ought not talk like that.

I can do this all day.
How far you totin that warsh ?
Bravo! Your video gave me the courage to remove my 2005 F150 4x4 transmission. Unfortunately, I am having trouble removing the torque converter bolts because the crank shaft will not rotate. any idea what I am doing wrong?
Can you spin the flex plate with a screw driver or a pry bar?
Wheres the best place to find torque specs and bell housing bolt pattern? Did you ever make an install video?
I’ve been slacking. I’ll get an install video up soon. Probably just search it on the internet to get the torque specs. I’ll find the best place to get them and site it in the next video
How did you get the dipstick tube out of the trans? My 04 f150 4x4 had a weird tube connected to the top passenger side bell housing bolt, but the dipstick is much larger in diameter that the weird metal tube that came out when i removed that bolt. Im about to finish taking out the rest of the bolts in the bell housing and am doing this off jack stands and ramps. Not enough clearance to drop the trans and the whole dipstick tube.
It will slide out. You will probably have to rock the transmission around a little and it should break free and slide out of the transmission
Good video, Boomhauer... 😂😂
I like boomhauer
I hear a slip or slight clunk when I stop on a hill and start again after a rebuild. Something not right. What could it be?
Check to make sure the mount nuts and bolts are tight.
Has anyone figured out an easier way to get the top starter bolt? The video makes it look too easy but I can hardly even feel the thing with my fingers. I got the bottom one and side one off.
It’s a pain. If you find the right length extension and a universal socket it’s helps. You just gotta move it around until you get it on the bolt. That’s the worst part of those.
I was gonna tackle mine in the driveway but after watching I think it might be takilen to a shop lol.
It’s not that bad.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 question for you. Just bought 04' and previous owner switched trans and theres couple of switches not connected etc. How do I know which trans to get so I get the original one? There are 2 ID#s that fall under 4.6L f150 4x4 heritage
As long as it’s the same year everything should plug in. You have your plug in for the internal wiring harness and your two speed sensors. Then the neutral safety
I did mine in the driveway on ramps. It wasn’t bad
Can you show how to convert a 2wd 4 speed transmission to 4wd
Hey weird question. Where does that breather those attach to on top of the transmission?
Just goes to the vent tube at the back of the case. It doesn’t connect to anything on the other end. Just runs up and by the bell housing and back down
great video, make it look so easy.
any advice on how to turn the flexplate with engine locked up?
Probably leave the converter bolted up. When you unbolt the transmission the converter will stay connected and slide out of the transmission. I’m not sure how to get the converter off after that.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 So how much does it cost to replace a Transmission ?
@@kevinkelly9303
Depends on what path you choose. I was fortunate and found a junkyard one with just under 100,000 miles for about $650. I probably spent an additional $300 on gaskets, filters and fluids. I was quoted $2550 for the complete removal, rebuild, and installation, with trans cooler flush from a reputable local shop. I was also quoted $5500 from another shop for the removal and installation of a Jasper Transmission.
How much of a difference is there between this transmission removal and the newer generation, having issues with my 2013 6r80 and looks like in gonna have to replace it? Thanks
It’s pretty different. I’ve not had that many of them and haven’t made a video of those yet.
But the concept of the same.
Remove drive shafts
Cross member
Unplug everything.
Converter bolts
Transfer case
Bell housing.
I don’t remember off the top of my head if the exhaust has to be removed. I’m thinking it does.
The main wiring harness plug is the exact same as the Chevrolet 6L80. You can skip through the video I have for it and find the part where I unplug it to see how you do that without having breaking it.
what would cause my flex plate to loose teeth? I'm having to replace it again! Something seems like it's not lined up, but how could that be?
Starter going bad and not completely disengaging maybe ?
My f150 2015 gave out on me. Dealership says it’s the transmission.
My question is, is their any electrical or programming procedures you must do after swapping it?
Dealership wants 5500 and mechanic for used tranny wants 1500..
just want to make sure theirs no computer stuff he must do before going the cheaper route.
If it’s the 6R80 some of the them have an internal computer that has to be flashed but some just have a lead frame that doesn’t. I’m not real sure on which ones do and don’t. There are several years that have a recall on the transmission. They had a problem with the lead frame that keeps showing speed sensors bad and burn up the transmission. I would check and double check on a recall
What's the best way to prevent the front drive shaft from spinning
I usually hold it with a pry bar if needed
Any advice on getting to those two top two bell housing bolts without a lift?
Just try to let the transmission down as low as you can and use a long extension and a universal socket if you have one. You might be able to get a straight socket up there. It’s just a tight spot to get to.
Is the 05 F150 4x2 process(4R70) the same as 4x4 or does exhaust have to come down because of tail shaft clearance
It will come out without removing exhaust. Just have to bring it down at an angle.
Where do the two longest bell housing bolts go?
The two longest ones go where the dial pins are.
I CANNOT get my toque converter off. Even when im prying it. The transmission came loose and probably caused me problems but i feel like iv done everything. Any ideas guys.
Did you get all 4 nuts off ?
yes i took the 4 bolts off. You have a very straight forward video and helped great, i just can’t get the TC off even by prying it.
I have a 07 5.4 i already change the two solenoids inside the easy ones. And still when i turn on the engine doesnt give gas or accelerate. And i did start with sone sensors and relays but now its giving headaches any idea what could be..
If you engine won’t rev up that’s going to be something with the engine. I’d start with checking fuses, having it scanned, and look maybe at a throttle position sensor.
If it revs up and just won’t move sensor or solenoids won’t help it. You can unplug everything in the transmission on these and they will still pull.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 thanks.. i guess must be engine..
It does reverse but no power the scan give me 5 transmissin sensors.. solenoids.
I have a 2001 ford f 150 4x4 5.4 viton.. I pulled it in neutral about 8 miles due to a fuel pump went out.. changed fuel pump and now its in limp mode.. wont pull at all..scan shows shift solenoids... 2 mechanics said the transmission was bad... Do u have an opinion.. ive checked all fuses and their good???
I would look at e fluid see if it’s dark. Make sure none of the wiring is pinched or pulled out. The next thing would be to drop the pan. Take a look at it.
I'm working on a 1998f150 4x4 4.6L is it like the video or is there something else I need to know
Yeah. On the earlier ones you will probably have to drop the exhaust or cut it. There’s more stuff in the way on those.
I am new to this my question is in the other comments
2wd 4r75e also possible??
Is there a secret to turning the torque converter for those 4 nuts? I was only able to get it to turn a pinch and now I’m struggling again lol
I usually take a screwdriver or pry bar and go through the inspection hole and move it that way. They can be a pain. You can also put a socket on the harmonic balancer and turn it that way
Where's the teardown video n the installation video??
If you're just changing the flexplate can you get it done without dropping the fluid and removing the lines and connectors?
I don’t think it will stretch enough without removing the lines. You can try. It might work out.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 thanks for the reply I agree maybe disconnect the lines at least. I will report back after I try it.
Do I have to take off the pan if I’m just trying to replace the torque converter seal? I’d rather not have to clean the area up and replace the gasket on the pan.
You don’t have to. The only reason I would if I just replacing the front seal is to keep fluid from pouring from the line fittings and dipstick hole while I had it out.
Also when you get yours out try to look at the pump bushing and feel the hub on the converter. Just to make sure it’s not bad too along with the seal.
@@ltstransmissionhowto5158 Thanks for the advice! She’s almost completely out. Your video definitely has been a big help. I’ve never removed a transmission, so the step by step is amazing.
hello best regards, if I have a question I must keep the speed in neutral
I don’t think I understand the question
What gear should it be in when you remove the transmission? Neutral or park?
It doesn’t make a difference.
But make sure it won’t roll off it you’re doing it on the ground. It won’t hold in park if there’s no transmission in it
wow, I didn't know that Boomhauer was a mechanic
I like Boomhauer. I will take that as a compliment. Thank you.
