Take it to the dealer there is a recall on a part in the transmission that is causing the shifting problem and it is 100% covered!

Jason you are amazing. You find an economical solution to an otherwise costly repair and share it. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for helping others.
Thanks for your help.I upgraded to a fat plastic syringe with a piece of clear 1/4" fuel line about 16" long jammed on the tip where the needle would go. Make for near effortless filling, you can see the fluid exit the syringe and determine exactly what you've added. A quick shot with the pressure washer to clean up under there is recommended. Transmissions do not digest road grit well
That’s exactly what makes you stand out from the rest, you figure out what’s going on and then come up with a solution, whether temporary or permanent. So many people say they can’t do something without even trying. You troubleshoot and go. I’m the same way Jason, I at least will try before I say I can’t and not bother at all. I’m so glad you figured out the problem and fixed it before caring it to a repair shop and being out money that you don’t have an abundance of right now.Thanks for sharing this with us. Great job.👍❤️👍❤️
This is why we like YOU and you stand out to us! You and Nick are amazing and can do pretty much anything between y'all! Aren't you supposed to be in Florida on a beach right now? Get off your phone haha
Leave early in the morning.
Good job on that quick picks I am 59 and I have never taken a vehicle I've ever owned to any shop I've always worked on them even if I had to rebuild the motor I did it myself and believe me in all those years I've done plenty The shops suck at what they do and they charge you way to much money not your normal video but we still like it if it helps one person it was worth it thank you for sharing that
I wish we were closer...we could have totally helped you out! This is where we SHINE! I can’t talk about gardening but we can talk motors! We owned a motorcycle dealership for many many many years and Troy loved working in the service department best!
Glad your $1 fix worked!
Thank you bro. I took my truck to the shop and they said all I needed was to service my transmission, meaning I needed to flush it. It was your video that made me think about getting it done. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didn't have a use for this video, but seen you uploaded so regardless of what it was about I had to click. Love watching the Crockers 😁
Run a small hose with a funnel from the passenger header side in the engine bay. Pop it in the hole and pour from above
Nice job bud. You do what you have to do. WTG! Figuring out how to make whatever it is work for what you need to do.
Yea, i would take it in for the recall Mike talked about.
Thanks Jason, I have a problem with my truck going into first gear or granny gear. I'm going to try this tomorrow when the truck is cooled off. I appreciate the video.
Did it work?
just buy the dispenser adapter that twist on the bottle push up and down with a hose easier way to put in in
Been there, done that. Or rather my husband has been there, done that lol. Love watching you guys no matter the topic.
I added a new check/fill tube on my 2014 f150, no more crawling underneath, i also tig welded a drain plug on the tranny pan,i cut a 1/2" pipe coupling in half and welded it on..
Where did ya get the tube and stick from so no more crawling under the truck????
@@revbikerbigd8664 B&M makes one for the f150
@@ottallman these f150 dipstick kits way over priced. Need a home made one idea ! $100 would be okay !
@@ottallman mustang one a lot cheaper but shorter!
thank you Jason. Be safe my friend.
Dude! Genius!! I’ve been trying to figure out how to add fluid!!! Thank you 👊🏼
Why they made it this way... no idea! Haha glad it could help! I've never had an issue since!
There was a recall on certain years for the transmission issue about downshifting alone when driving
A good video Jason. When I get my truck I want to learn to change my own oil and oil filter
The more you can learn, the better off you'll be!
You could use a Lower Unit Quart pump so you don't have to use a baby bulb. They're about $15 dollars.
If that’s happening there is a recall on the 60r80 trans the mold lead frame goes bad everything you described in the beginning is what happened to mine and ford fixed it for me no charge but def appreciate the tip on how to fill/ check I didn’t know how to do that
Thanks for the video! Checking mine now! BM(Haa) has a youtube video on adding in your own transmission dip stick that allows you to check and fill. Similar to your video- it's taking the bolt/dip stick off and simply replacing new.
If you wanna pay for one, B&M makes a locking transmission dipstick for the 10-22 F150. One Ford should have put in in the first place. Also Dorman makes a steel transmission pan that has a drain plug on it for those quick drain and fills.
Remember to not do this if it’s a hot engine. That is right next to your exhaust. I took mine to the dealer and they found a recall on a software problem as well for the transmission.
That's what they say they say they are going to reset the program cause as the transmission wear and the software don't match and you'll have more problems
that's awesome I am glad you were able to do the job your self there Is know telling how much they would of charged you If they would of did the job
Great hack!! No, not permanent but this is a difference between a 500 dollar tow fee (yes, up here in NY) and buying some time to get a permanent fix in place.
Exactly! Even where I'm at it would be a few hundred bucks since we're out of city limits. Great $1 investment haha
Great information!!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Now I know how to check my transmission fluid. Thanks!
Lol it’s a dipstick in the engine bay labeled transmission fluid too
my 2013 f150 fx4 has some transmission issues, at low speed seems to shift in a high gear, and gears down kinda funny when slowing down im gonna check out the fluiid level thanks. i already had it in for a recall and the mechanics hooked the computer up to it and programed the transmission correctly. latley its been acting up again however.
I’m having the same issue.
Same
Good job, I hope this works for you. Take care.
Thank you I needed to see this, great video brother.
Never had a vehicle that didnt have the dipstick to check the transmission under the hood. Dont think Ill ever get one that dont either. That was just crazy right there. Making it so that even the simplest maintenance is gonna cost people an expensive shop trip. Crazy! Find you an ol beater that you can fix up, you'll come out better in the long run, especially for around the "farm" and all the work that will need to be done. Use the "fancy ride" for trips and what not.
Lmao....it's a nasal aspirator. You f'ing rock Jason!
Thanks man! Helps a lot
Worked like a charm! Thanks for the tips!
Glad it helped!! Saves a ton of money haha
I liked this video. I love it when people can think outside the box to solve problems for themselves. Good job
Awesome dude... Been there done that but not with y baby thing-a-ma-bob... Thx!!!
Great job. JACK of all trades.😊
It's what happens when you're poor and can't afford to pay anyone else to do it haha you learn real fast!
Lol. Yea , I suppose if you are on the side of the road and you are low on fluid... maybe... but transmission has a recall on it for a free fix at the dealership if under 10 years and 150,000 miles... it has a molded lead frame issue.. only if you are lucky will you be able to fix with adding or changing fluid..
Nice! Thanks.
Thank you.
That’s a cool hack. We used some surgical tubing and squeezed the bottle .
I watched just cuz I love your channel! Nice work Jason!! Get another nasal aspirator for when the kids are born!! Any day now!!--Kristy
Awesome video
This worked!!! Thank you!!!
Every little bit helps!
I just learned something new
You just over filled the trans ,the dip stick is on there for a reason. Like chrysler engine must be ideling so the pump is working.
Actually, you're wrong. Sorry
Thanks. I also have a 2013 V6 Ecoboost F 150. It HAS NO DIPSTICK under the hood for checking level/adding to this spot. Why not?? Anyway, mine was having some surging issues and it was recommended to add Lube Guard Instant Shutter Fix to the tranny fluid (normal trucks just into dipstick opening under hood). Now I know how to access it at least and try to add it into that damn bottom hole, if I can get the bolt off!!
Thanks.
AutoZone sells a small pump that will screw onto a quart bottle. Kinda handy!
There is a recall for that trans from ford, the trans will shift erratically and potentially downshift into 1st gear randomly. It’s a software update at the dealer. The trans shouldn’t be low on fluid unless it’s leaking or was serviced incorrectly.
need the little hand transfer pump from harbor freight it's like ten buck would make it even easier yet no mess
great video. i wondered hot to check the fluid level and how to add fluid to the sealed forever transmissions. thank you
No he didn't show how to check it or how to read the dipstick. Did you see the color of his fluid ? Burnt brown , he was just adding some not knowing what level is correct . Vehicle has to be running to get correct level . Just some info .
@@kenj.8897 that is what i was wondering. i know on traditional transmissions with a a normal dipstick, the vehicle has to be running. was wondering if that was also the case with these. thank you
AWESOME!!! More than one use for a booger getter ;)
Haha I still may use it for that. Just wipe it off on my shirt and it's good to go!
Nice.
Never put to much in eather.
Jst to fill line.😁
"Special tools!"... 3/4" wrench.... I use 3/8 tubing and a funnel and pour it down from engine bay
You did this extremely hard,just make a bottle cap with rubber hose on it and you fill bottle run hose to the hole and squeeze it in.Easy peezy lemon squeeze 😂
Anything that works in a pinch isn't technically wrong. Just a tip for others who may be trying this; if you have a helper and some clear tubing, you can also snake the tubing down from up top, then use a bottle cap with the little tapered nipple that will fit your ATF bottle and it will work too. The key here is to innovate and think AROUND the problem before giving in and paying someone else to do it. You'll feel accomplished and your bank account will thank you.
Or just use a brake bleeder; those hand pumps with plastic hoses, a lot simpler with getting the fluid the hole.
But btw there's a recall on the trans that starts down shifting to first and then not shifting out of first... Update on software.
Straight Lifesaver!!!
I have a 2013 but my truck has a normal dipstick? Is mine an Alien truck??
90% of these comments are people that don't have this issue or a 6r80 in general
Don't short change on real life videos... We like these, too.
More of these coming!
I have a 2015 Lincoln navigator that drops downshifts and speedometer goes off and on , Ford hasn't recalled mine?
did this really fix your truck from shifting from third to first? because my truck does this a lot
Years later... it fixed the issue!
My 2013 F150 XLT always throws the wrench and the RPMs go nuts and the speedometer has no response might have to try this. Also will throw the wrench and my speedometer will go to zero and gas mileage and engine miles will go blank
This fixed my problems. No issues since
Shit my transmission got stuck in 3 and my fan was on loud but all i did was unplug battery clean terminals and reconnect fixed my problem for now its been driving normally after wards
why not do it right for cheap and remove the tranny tray, replace the filter and gasket, refill the fluid and call it a day? u can do all that for
Could spend an extra couple dollars and just use a hand pump. That looks like a ridiculous PITA for no reason.
Why don’t let your truck have a long spout up on the engine area with a long dipstick
Was here
My truck, same year make/model doing the same thing. Low tyranny fluid and it was black. I just had it flushed. Shifts smoother but I don't know yet if the drooping gear problem is solved because I just had it done 2 hours ago and it wouldn't have that problem too often.
Was it fixed
@@5.43v It was fixed finally, the lead frame was what was causing the shifting problem.
Good idea 🤔=⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Gracias por hacer este video me sirvio de mucho ,estaba en la carretera en el 3gear , y lo hice me resulto, DIOS TE BENDIGA y me subscribe a tu canal, desde virginia, thanks 🙏
Well what was the original damm problem? Low fluid light?
6 years old and it's leaking that bad, what happened?
I thought the truck had to be running in park when checking the fluid !?? Thats what my manual said
Yes and be at operating temperature from what I understand
Jason, honey, my tranny fluid has a dipstick at the upper back of my motor that you reach and fill from the top. Why is yours underneath? My trucks are an 88 F250 Lariat XLT 4x4 and a 91 F250 Lariat XLT 2wd. Both are automatic with the 460 motor. So why are mine on top and you have to go spelunking? I'm really really confused about this
Because Ford found a way to get people to bring it into the shop to make more money. Every other vehicle I've ever had, had it under the hood also
The people who make these vehicles!! My lord can someone make a vehicle that is easy to work on. May have to buy a 1955 chevy or ford.
So what is the permanent fix?
I couldn't tell you. I've done this maybe once every 6 months for the past few years haha works every time
Just attatch a long hose to a funel get it up to the side of the engine and drop in as many oil as you need from the top this process look so slow
i'll stick to vehicles with the dipstick under the hood.
That’s why I drive a GMC
gms have the exact same style system now. its called non "serviceable" trannys. The fluids good for 150k plus unless theres a leak. Wifes equinox was ten times harder to get to than this.
👍 👍
Need a new gasket?
I think so
19mm wrench
Thx bud .. minimum 299.. from dealer
Have 2014 f150 3.7 that was not included in the transmission recall. Ford knows these transmissions where faulty but refuse to accept the blame for their faulty transmission that could get people killed. Have been owner since 1988 and now i have NO TRUST OR FAITH IN THE FORD COMPANY.!
Has anyone change oil on a lawn mower tell me thats not the same dip stick
Well, that's about the dumbest thing Ford has ever done... cool hack though!
How the hell is that fixing the problem just adding fluid
The problem was being stranded without the proper tools. The fix was adding fluid without proper tools and getting you back on the road to get it worked on by a mechanic. Common sense...
3 quarter bro
OMG I just paid 800 for it 😭
You can always learn how to drive manual. That's what I had on my 1990 F150. It sounds to me as if the true dipsticks were over at the Walmart you went to. Who would have thought that a $1 bulb syringe would be that piece of equipment that those morons lacked over an automotive! I guess they were too damn lazy to walk over to the infant's department.
😂😂😂 I love this comment!
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
Or I could just siphon it from the bottle.
Nope...don't own a FORD...FIX OR REPAIR DAILY, anymore! NISSAN is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Walmart can't do squat!
A Walmart "mechanic" screwed up a car I owned while putting in a new battery. The idiot working on it couldn't figure out why the battery cables wouldn't hook up like he thought they should so he cut the cable ends off and put replacement ends on and proceeded to put them on backwards. We left to drive home and the car quit running about half a mile away and then we had it towed to a repair shop. They told us what had been done and that all the electronics in the car had been fried including the dashboard. We called Walmart and they told us to bring it back to the store. I told them what had happened and that I had it towed to a garage for repairs. I confronted the store manager the next day and he said to bring them the estimate for the repairs. I brought the estimate for the repairs from four garages and the store manager refused to pay for the repairs because he thought they were excessively high. After that I contacted a lawyer who contacted the corporate offices. They decided to pay the damages plus legal fees and car rental costs. All this took four months during the winter months all because someone didn't know that battery posts are different sizes for a reason. I ended up taking the advice of the mechanic who looked at the car and took the car and settlement money and bought a different car. He said that the electrical system would most likely be an ongoing problem even after they got it going for me this time.
I’ll never own another ford
Man mine is well over 200,000 miles and still running strong! After I did this fix, it's been working great haha
@@TheCrockers I’m not getting under there. It’s easier do put in transmission fluid in a Chevy
Ugh Ford 🤑🤕🤒😷👇
Hahahahahaha bro
I would advise people to R.T.F.M. This acronym stands for Read The "Funny" Manual! Do not believe everything you see on youtube!
It's a temporary fix to get you out of a bind... like the video says. Better to do this than be stranded. Hasn't failed me yet!
This saved my life.
