This is the best looking modern Mustang body style.
If I only had a car lift at my house
Thank you MAKE IT EASY MECHANIC for your awesome, instructional and educational video.
P. S. Long time no see...and nice to have you back after a short hiatus.
Wow very clear informative video great job! And thanks
Wow, the video takes the anxiety out of looking fwd to making my 2nd or 3rd attempt AT change... i think im ready, just need to strategize a way to evenly lift my car at home. Thx
If you have a set of ramps, put the front end up on the ramps, then use a jack to jack up the rear end and put some heavy wooden blocks, or an old set of wheels, or just something strong and sturdy that won't roll or tip, underneath the car. Then slowly lower it down onto the blocks. Oh and make sure you have the blocks positioned where the car will be resting on it's chassis, not just on the bottom edge of the body panels. That's what I do, anyway. Another thing, make sure you do this on hard packed ground or pavement, because, as I learned the hard way, the car tends to sink into a softer soiled ground. Ya don't even really notice it when your underneath tinkerin'. That is until you realize your boobs don't fit under there with you anymore. 😕
Dig a big hole then get in the hole and drove the car over the hole
Use a level on the pan to make sure
Thanks, I just needed a quick review, I couldn't remember if it was checked in neutral or park after running thru the gears. Thanks again
Not for nothing they could have easily added a dip stick ! But ford has a better idea . Love their plastic thermostat housing that splits apart to blow your head gaskets 😂
Great video!! Saved me a lot of money!!
Perfect video! Thank you so much for sharing all the valid information without wasting time! 'Subscribed!😁
I'm pretty sure it didn't syphon in because you had the tank you were filling from below the tank you were filling. Theoretically, if you hooked the pump somewhere higher, like off the side mirror, gravity would have pulled the liquid into the fill pan after you pumped enough to get it started.
96 inch pounds for transmission pan bolts
19 FOOT POUNDS for dain plug(main/large)
89 inch pounds for Fill plug (small/ inside)

Laying on your back under the car, you must bend down the plastic harness cover to even see the clip. You will see the clip like a tongue in a mouth. Using a flathead scredriver🪛 , pull down on the clip towards the ground while simultaneously pulling forward on the plastic harness. It must be done in unison; otherwise, if you release the clip without pulling the harness forward, it will simply reclip itself, and you won't be able to pull the harness off.
Wow awesome video. 👍 👍 Thanks
Thanks for the info. I believe my girlfriends car needs this done asp.
Perfect explanation
What reader are you using to monitor the temperature
So do you have to have her in neutral or can I have it in park
What is the torque for the small fill in plug please ?
I need video on 5.0. V-8. Then some
I also need to no are there different sizes as for as numbers go on transmissions for 5.0 we race Chevy 1rst Ford having hell in trans problems 2 so for trying save money probably sell it
Same for a gt ?
Great video. What do you think of Change vs. Flush when it comes to transmission fluid? My mechanics wants to flush it and says this way we don't have to mess with the filter/bolt/gaskets so they stay in place and the fluid would be all new.
both methods have pros and cons. dropping the pan - you get a new filter, but some old fluid stays in the transmission (in the torque converter etc.), when you do a fluid flush - all of the fluid gets changed, but you still have the old filter. I personally prefer dropping the pan, that way most of the fluid gets changed, plus you get a new filter, plus you have a new tranny pan gasket.
Excelente, lo hice en mi Mustang 2005
Oye una pregunta cuantos litros lleva la transmisión
@@irvinglopez8412 11.2 LTS, transmisión automática
Is it basically the same for the gt with the 5r55s transmission?
yes!
I assume this also applies to the 4.6L, V8?
Yes
And what if it doesn’t catch???
what about the other 4-5 quarts(or more) that still sits in the torque converter, cooling lines and radiator????
Change it, then drive it for a while to allow the new fluid to mix with the old stuff and then change it again. At that point it will have close to new fluid.
Mercon 5? I thought we were supposed to use dexron/mercon fluid. Do I need to redo it?
No, Mercron LV and V are the same thing. It's a matter of preference if you want to go with OEM versus something like Valvoline. It pretty much the same.
Should the car be running or shut off when topping off
He showed that in the video
How many quarts of trans fluid should I buy?
12
How much fluid do I actually need ?
5q but just buy 1 extra
How much fluid did you put?
To be honest, I lost track with all the filming.. I want to guess around 9-10ish?
@@MakeItEasyMechanic what is ish?
@@resbaleitor285 a word
DO NOT DO THIS IF ITS HIGH MILES AND YOU HAVEN’T CHANGED THE FLUID.
Why?
@@braxtongatten9412because if it’s never been changed before it can damage it putting brand new fluid in it because the transmission got used to how it drives with all that dirty fluid and if it has metal pieces in it and you take that out it’ll cause the transmission to slip, this goes for any car.
I wish I had my own shop I’d love to work on my own car
