Used this and Part 2 to change the transmission in my 2006 Ford Escape XLT. Only minor differences. Excellent video and editing. The tips saved me countless hours knowing what to remove to get access to the transmission. Also, removing the lower arm at the ball joint was WAY easier than other videos I watched. Only took a few minutes to remove the Axles. People like you are what make UA-cam an invaluable resource. Thank you, sir!
I see this is a few years old, but wow so valuable for getting through the driver’s side engine bay! Great production. Explanations clear and concise, and your direction and indicators of WHICH nuts/bolts are very clear. Thanks a million!
Thank you! I was replacing a water pump and came across a broken tube. Wasn't sure what it was even attached to but it said 4x2 so I assumed it was the transmission. Found this video trying to see if was the transmission so I'd have a point of reference to start from, and you actually identified the exact tube by name.
Great video! You covered everything and did a gave great detail on the removal process! I had your video plying while removing the transmission from my 06 Ford Escape. Thank you for the videos!
Thank you very much sir….. got stuck putting one back together after someone else took it apart and your videos are the only helpful ones I’ve found 🙃😶🌫️🤘 you awesome sir thank you again
I feel like alot of u don’t really need a trans replacement. I have a CD4E with 260k miles on it never changed fluid. Started slipping bad under load hauling some bags of rock. Got home flushed the trans 1 gallon each time driving in between for about 6 times. Also replaced the solenoid pack inside the trans pan under the valve body. Trans runs like new again I mean even better than before it had problems. Btw originally was getting 3rd gear ratio incorrect code. Just thought of this helps one person mission complete !
I also found out getting the fluid measurement is extremely important to this trans. It will act up if not correct. Run the vehicle in park and warm it up hold the break and motion thru all gears while holding the break. Put the car back in park and leave it running. Now check the fluid while the car is running be sure to fill the fluid to within the cross hatch mark on the dipstick. Always allow about 5 minutes to recheck after u add fluid
I replaced the transmission in my 02 Mazda Tribute and got everything hooked back up, the battery and starter both still fine but I get absolutely no power when trying to turn the key, what could be the issue?
I haven't started to remove the transmission in mine,yet. But since I was planning on replacing valve cover gaskets at some point, I'm going to do this at the same time I plan on removing the transmission. In doing this I'm thinking that this should give me enough clearance to reach the upper exhaust manifold bolts from the top side. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. By the way..GREAT VIDEO!!
Does anyone know if the bolt pattern for the transmission on a 08 Mazda Tribute 4 cylinder front wheel drive will be the same for a fire escape transmission? I have to do a swap and don’t know if it will work

Im only knowing for a couple years and i got every tool i thought.

Great video. Not only do you show how to remove a transmission, you have to remove so much stuff to get at it, it's informative on those parts too.
good god dude! This is by FAR the best instructional video I have ever watched! Mad Props!!!!!
Right! So happy i found this dude.
The name is brilliant . Best teacher i ever had would start energy instruction with "oh it's easy"
Agree with the others here, mad props to you, man. You are by far, in my top 5 of UA-cam tutorialists.

This channel is an inspiration for all mechanics. Love this channel!
Its good to have someone to show you and easy to follow with all the detail.

Love the way that you organize your bolts & parts!
Man I wish this was a video for the 2.3 perfect video

I pulled the whole engine and trans out the top in one unit. Took about 6 hours. No lift but it got done.
Most of the escapes we see the rearend is completely rusted thru at the wheel well shock mounts. Good content.
i just sub, cuz i like your video. its my first video and not even 4 mins in . you definitely know how to transfer knowledge to your audience.
Trans on my chest is how I roll! LOL.
Amazing and educational video. Thank you so much for share your knowledge.
Great video man. Very informative, no bs. Considering tackling this project in the spring
I like the old school carrying it on my chest! Lmoa

thank you for this video. your the best
I got a question, if I just wanted to remove the starter and just the starter not anything else, is there an easy way to do so?
where does the other end of that vent hose go ????
Dude you rock......
great i watch your all videos complete
Is this transmission same as the 2.3l escape
The best wrecker😁

Do you have a video for 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring? 4.0 Liter with the 62TE transmission? I would love to see it.
Wow, done very very well
13 minutes in I realized this is an 2001-2004 model, the mounts are different on 06 and others
Thank you omg.
Part 2?
Chain under throttle body with a plastic intake manifold....not too sure about that
I'm chained up to mine right now and hoping to God it doesn't crack
Great vid and instuction. Q: is procedure similar for 2006 escape in line 4 cyliner? A bit easier, maybe?
To be honest I don't remember having to do this job on a 4cylinder, but yes typically smaller engines are easier to work around
@@MakeItEasyMechanic ty
Is it the same for 2007 escape?
Nice work #MayoCarsDR
Are the 4x2 and 4x4 CD4E interchangeable? I can’t find any 4x2 for sale and they look identical when you disconnect the transfer case.
Hola una pregunta la caja automática de una Mazda tribute se podrá poner en una Ford Escape año 2005 servirá para una Ford Escape
Yes, the transmission I installed in this Mazda, came out of a Ford Escape.
Did you remove the alternator to get the bellhousing hidden bolts? Im doing one now
Yes, it's in the second video
Convinced me not to do the job, thx
❤👌
Cómo se llama esa transmisión?
Wow, there's only two bolts left on the whole car, everything else was removed
No need to remove thermostat housing or coolant hoses. It sucks but if you dig, you'll get to those bolts.
How long does it normally take to change out a transmission?
Depends on the car, a day or two usually (5-15 labor hrs)
@@MakeItEasyMechanic I'm currently getting one replaced in my Ford Escape L. -They are asking $5080 for the part and labor(Midis)
@@MakeItEasyMechanic I spent 3k on the car and didnt get it looked at before I bought it I'm pissed 😭
Ouch 😬
@@MakeItEasyMechanic I'm pretty sure I'm over paying but I'm taking it with a grain of salt great video and thanks for the reply
How long does this take?
Just removal 4-5 hours roughly
Is this 2wd or 4wd?
