You did a really good job, the only thing though is you really don't want to reuse gaskets. You already had the new one, and the pan was already off! Haha, but great job man, I'm gunna be doing this as well here soon.
Thanks for the video. It;s best to just use a electric or pnuematic oil transfer pump. Do yourself a favor and get a 1/4 NPT pipe to screw into the fill hole.
the reason why you only needed 5 qts of ATF was because you only took out the fluid on the trans pan, the torque converter holds the rest so you basically mixed new and old fluid together
Thats usually a good thing, that is the reason flushes are bad. If your trans hasnt been totally kept up with, the grit and stuff in that old fluid helps keep it from slipping
If anyone needs the torque specs: 89 INCH lbs on the 2 long bolts for the filter, 8 ft lbs on the pan bolts and 19 ft lbs on the transmission drain bolt. Do not over tighten.
To all 5r55s transmission owners, adjust your 2 bands on the side of your transmission. I can't believe how many owners AND transmissions shops do not know this
@@Santiknws23, on the 5r55s automatic transmission, there are 2 adjustable pins or dowels, you must adjust them periodically. I have pictures of it, if there's a way to send the pictures to you I will.
Hi friend I'm topping off my transmission fluid, but when I remove the pump, the liquid does not stop flowing out on its own. Do I need to add more fluid? Does the car have to be on for it to stop flowing?
A flush only damages your transmission when your transmission is already damaged.... If you flush it at the proper mileage every time just like an oil change it will be just fine...
He originally said that flushing your transmission can damage it that's not true, it's actually a transmission fluid exchange done through the cooler lines it's no different than as you're driving the car there's fluid constantly going through the cooler lines and returning to the transmission. The reason this urban legend persists is the fact that many people whose transmission is starting to fail and the driver has noticed symptoms take the car in for a transmission flush and after the flush the problems that existed previously are still there and they eventually show up as a transmission that needs to be overhauled but of course they blame it on the flush which is nonsense.
Seems like a crappy way to add fluid. I'm old school what happened to the dip stick and filler tube under the hood. Fords plan for you to bring it back to their garages.
I guess they sealed the transmission to prevent water entry from the dipstick. I'm not sure if i agree with doing this, but I guess al I can do is trust the engineers.
Frank Garcia that’s why cars with dipsticks have a mark on the stick to indicate where it should be when hot and why you must check the transmission fluid when the vehicle is running and warmed up. A dipstick is way better. At least you can check it and add fluid on the side of the road. With this set-up, you’re calling a tow truck if the fluid leaks out. You can actually buy an aftermarket pan with the dipstick included for these cars so you have an easy way to check the fluid and add it if needed.
Glad.. Adding the fluid is a bit difficult..& can be risky with no experience. Have a regular mechanic help adding it.. That’s what i did when I did it for the first time.. Plus I saved money too..
is it possible instead of pumping fluid in to just add say enough quarts into the pan, then lift the pan up and reattach the bolts, or would the pumping method be easier?
@@steve5912 i understand the first point. But the other two points... how? You literally just screwed it on. How else is it gonna seal bruh. Shouldn't be a problem since you literally just filled it up and put it on.
Im rewatching this and I don’t remember if I had placed the new trans filter the opposite way. Can you even put it on wrong or is it a one way fit? Help
Not always true. I did a flush through toyota on 16 camry with 30k on a car I bought brand new. Had intermittent shifting problems with ith for about 6-8 months after flush. Took it in twice but they said fluid level was good and they could not replicate problem. Over time it got better. A flush pushes fluid through trans getting all old out and new in but it also stirs up particles potentially causing shifting issues. All I know for sure is every time I have a dealer do a flush (3 times 3 diff cars) it causes issues. If I do a drain and fill as long as I do my reseach to make sure fluid compatibility is good then no issues. Doing the drain and fill is more time consuming and you may have to do it many times to get all the fluid changed but it is by far the safer bet.
You said to fill the transmission with 4.5 quarts that was taken out, but you only showed a total of 2 quarts being in the drain pan? Also can you explain the method of starting the car and adding fluid? Do you leave the car running after you first start it and run it through the gears then add more fluid while it is still running and then run it through the gears again?

You're suppose to change it every 80k-100k. Plus when it's in reverse then switching gears into drive the car will slightly jerk forward. Changing the fluid fixed that problem. I ended up changing the fluid 2 times waiting 3 months in between. This way most of the old fluid would be replaced.
Preciate the video, my stang is at 211,000 miles bought it at 206,000, runs good but trynna keep the service up.
Adjust your bands. There are 2 adjustments screws on the side, just for that.

For everyone trying this, MAKE SURE to buy the transfer pump that he used (W1156). I bought a similar one (W1154) it does not work.

Thanks for taking the time to post this video. Nice Job!
I wish someone would do a video on HOW to adjust the bands on a 5r55s automatic transmission
Is it necessary to adjust the bands ? Or is it okay to just do the fluid change ?
How did you get the sensor off? I tried taking mine off it was a pain so I just did a drain and fill.
Are you talking about the solenoid pack?
@08:13 is when shit shiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt starts to go wrong, LOL. The air going in HAS to escape somewhere if fluid is to come in. hence the backfire.
he used the wrong hose the pump comes with two clear tubes and a black AIR hose lol...
Brah you don’t have to change the gears like that dude and it’s funny how you’re shaking it like it’s a manual 😂
Lol he's most likely shaking it because ford had a lot of bad shifter bushings and you gotta make sure it goes in lmao my Fusion and Mustang both
Thank you for making this video. I made the mistake of not making sure that my car was level when checking the fluid level
"Awww sheeeee-it-uh" LOL I think we all know that feeling.
Lol I loved it so much drama and knowledge and suspense! Thank you 😊
Your making inaccurate statements unfortunately.....good try but there's things not correct like the adapter for the filling and full mark
How can I add some transmission sealant additive?
Love the chrome finish. Been wanting to do that with my stang.
Was that your first time replacing fluid/filter?if so how many miles were on car?
DO NOT USE 8MM socket!!!!!!!! USE 5/16", preferably 6 point.
How much to do my car?
He got to jiggle his ac like me lmaoo
What type of transmission fluid did you use?
a ford mechanic told me never to change the fluid can cause the trans to fail

Awesome video man. Great job!
Good video bro thanks
So while you're at this point while you're staring at all those bolts. go head and snug them it helps with better shifting.
You did a good job on this video, really helped us out
I thought you were going to use 12qts you only used 4.5qts what happened?
Never reuse old gaskets while you there change gasket
this is a reusable gasket, it says so on the transmission pan, i reused it, no leaks. A BETTER IDEA FROM FORD, i like it !!!!!!
@@bielawskibob they could've at least put the full thing in the engine bay
Where can I get one of those thing you used to pump the transmission fluid in the car what’s the name of it ??
Thats a transfer pump and u can find it in autozone
i found it at auto zone for $10
If the check engine light comes on why does that mean after I did this?
What hose did you use?
Seems like a crappy way to add fluid. I'm old school what happened to the dip stick and filler tube under the hood. Fords plan for you to bring it back to their garages.
Or invest and buy the pump and be a master of your own service. And be happy you are doing it the right way
Transmission fluid expands when heated up. So the dipstick can't really give you an accurate reading.
I guess they sealed the transmission to prevent water entry from the dipstick. I'm not sure if i agree with doing this, but I guess al I can do is trust the engineers.

You have to change your transmission fluid and filter after 100k or 6 years and after that 50k or 3 years, which ever comes first for modern cars.
