    Tip: Take a pair of zip ties and tie the gasket on both sides of the pan. This will make sure the gasket will stay in place. Once you have a few bolts in place, cut the zip ties and pull the off.

      For other applications, not necessarily automotive, I've seen people recommend things like a small dob of thick, pasty grease at strategic points and use that to stick the gasket to the spot it goes (in this case, stuck to the transmission housing), then put the pan or whatever back on so you don't have to worry about lining the bolt holes on both the gasket and the cover plate at the same time with the risk of damaging the gasket while doing so, but yours definitely seems the better suggestion here. Typically, as long as you don't go crazy with it, this is harmless to the gasket or to the fluid it's trying to seal against.

    Great video. One of the first things I do is get the engine trans warm with a quick drive. Then remove the filler bolt and drip stick right above the pan. With the fluid warm, I'll use my drill pump to suck out as much fluid as possible right into a catch pan. Then remove the pan with very little to no spilling of fluid. When time to refill I again use a drill pump to get the new fluid into the trans.

    7.5 quarts for drain & fill. Only use Motorcraft LV. Check level while running in park while level. When you first fill it, it will overflow at about 6 quarts, then start it up and put in another 1.5 quarts and check while running.

      @@briandesjardins728 You just have to get temp up to operating temp of over 190F before the valve opens and will let you flush all the fluid. So tell me this, do you think your Ford dealer drives your truck around to get it to that temp before they pull it in the garage and start the flush? Wishful thinking. They pull it right in after it has been parked outside all morning and immediately start a "flush" when it is about same temp as the outside.

No drain plug in the pan, no dipstick that doesn't require you be a contortionist. just seems crazy. My question is isn't there still old fluid in the lines somewhere when you do this change, doesn't anything else have to be flushed out?

    • @chrisgraham2904
      @chrisgraham2904 Рік тому +2

      The 6L80 and 6L90 transmissions are designed to operate under an internal vacuum. This is the reason that the transmission is sealed without a dip stick access. Also, the reason that the fill port should be opened before the pan is loosened and removed. There is a third-party, after market dip stick assembly that can be installed, which seals the dipstick tube at the top of the tube in the engine bay. It sells for about $250 U.S. plus installation, so it's a lot of money to just be able to check the fluid level. A "drain & fill" fluid change only removed about 50% of the fluid from the transmission. Ford does not recommend that these transmissions ever be "flushed" of all the fluid. The tranny holds about 13 liters of oil, so you'll only be draining and refilling about 7 liters. The filter needs to be replaced at every fluid change. The pan gasket is designed to be reusable, so you shouldn't need to buy a new gasket, unless you somehow damaged it during removal of the pan or it previously showed signs of leakage. The final refill level should be checked with the engine hot, but the fill port is very close to the extremely hot catalytic converter, so proceed with caution. Transmission fluid change is a dirty and frustrating DIY job on the driveway, but fairly straight forward if the vehicle is lifted on a hoist, as the vehicle needs to be kept level during the process.

    With All Due Respect, You never mentioned the "Reusable Gasket" unless of course you're not a fan of them ? I only realized this after watching a few other videos on 6R80 Tranny Fluid,Filter & Gasket Change/Replacement. As for myself, I just learned something new as I never knew such a gasket existed & can be cleaned with just a cloth ( avoid chemical cleaners that could potentially ruin rubberized Bead & Breaks around Gasket) & then reused.

      @chrisgraham2904 Рік тому

      Ford recommends that these transmission should NEVER be "flushed"...just "drain & fill". The tranny holds about 13 liters of fluid, but you'll only be draining and replacing about 7.5 liters. Fluid remains in the torque converter during the drain and it will mix with the new fluid during operation. So, your only really 50% cleaning the transmission, but you also have to do the filter at every change.

    Hi 2CarPros. Just changed the trans filter/fluid on my 2011 F150 XLT 4x4. The truck ran great prior to me servicing it. I drained out 5.5qts and added 5.5qts of Ford factory LV fluid. It was a fleet truck and fleet serviced and has 160K miles on it. Last filter/fluid was done at 118K. Cycled the shifter from R to D after service several times. The truck doesn't move in R or D. Double checked the dipstick and it show full. No warning lights on the dash either. Any help before I tow it to my local garage?

    I got a 2013 ford f150 with a canceled component so dealer ship can only change it my question is can you flush the transmission fluid with 278 000km on it does it harm it to flush old stuff out?

  • @greghatfieldjr2658
    @greghatfieldjr2658 7 років тому

    Do you need to drain the torque converter as well, I've done it that way in older fords but I've never changed it in my 2011 f150

    • @zod-engineering-welding
      @zod-engineering-welding 7 років тому

      If the torque converter has a drain plug then yes. It holds about as much as the pan itself, so that's a lot of old fluid in there. I'm about to do mine, and I cross my fingers that there is a drain plug so I don't end up wasting a lot of new fluid to flush out the old.

      If you purchased the vehicle new, change the filter at 30,000 miles & every 50,000 after that. The Ford recommended interval is way too long. It's much cheaper in the long run to change it out early.

      The answer is it depends. If you're transmission is running normal without any slipping, lagging, or kicking during gear changes then it will not hurt it. But if you experience any of that, then changing the fluid will shorten the life of the clutch or other parts that have been getting by because of the particles floating in the old fluid.

    • @cg9608

      The purpose of starting the engine is to get the fluids warmer/ at or close to operating temp. The transmission fluid should expand as it warms, that's why its recommended to fill to the bottom of hashmarks on the dipstick when cold. 8 quarts sounds like too much if you only drained the pan. Usually between 6-7 quarts.

    PLEASE HELP!!! I have 2013 F150 3.5 eco boost with 6R80. My fill plug/dip stick just spins. I can not remove it. The bottom half of the plug appears to be intentionally rounded over. Has anyone ever seen this? I blew a cooler line this past weekend while on vacation 5 hours from home deep in the woods of northern Maine. I cut out the quick disconnect portion that was leaking and replaced it with a 2 foot section of high temp hose and clamps. Had no choice but to add new fluid from the highest point of the cooler line. I only added 1 quart because I had no way of knowing how much I lost. Luckily that seem to do the trick and got me home. How the hell does this come out?

    Greetings guys, I have a 2011 F 150 with ongoing tranny problems, I foolishly allowed Ford to upgrade the tranny recall software, the truck will not engage or stay in 5th, city cruising Im revving between 1200-1500rpms, and loosing quite a bit of fuel economy. Previous to this, cruising in the city it would sit nicely at 950-1000 rpm. I can't get anywhere with Ford, they say thats the program, to bad we can't do anything about it. And of course the geniuses at customer service want to prescribe
    anti -depressants. How do you do a recall and return a vehicle back in this condition. If anyone has any further advice, Im all ears.

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  7 років тому

      I actually had one of these trucks and was in the same situation! But I am afraid there really is no way to go back. The coders write the code in such a way that it can't really be overwritten by a previous version. They make it user unfriendly on purpose. Maybe there is an after market company that can change shit patterns with a tuner that plugs into the OB2 port but, that isn't going to be manufacturer specification. That's really the only way I imagine. Ford isn't going to want to go back to the old shift pattern while it may felt nicer it is probably at the cost of longevity of the unit. Thanks for watching!

    • @nickmakris2971
      @nickmakris2971 7 років тому

      Thanks for your answer. A recall is suppose to correct or enhance your vehicle, not make it worse. They should have disclosed that the new software would make the vehicle run worse, who's paying for the lost fuel, how can you hand a vehicle back, doing 120 kms less per tank? How do you do that ? The idiots at Ford want to prescribe medication and offer condolences? I can't believe how pathetic Ford has been, they just want to pretend nothings wrong. Ya think they'd offer something for selling a bad vehicle and making it worse. If I screw something up I correct it making it better than it was or equal. If I have a slow week Im gonna park infront of that dealership, with the truck decorated, appropriately.
