Section 6 (Automatic Transmission - 5R110W): Installation: Transmission: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

    All applications 

    CAUTION: Prior to the installation of the transmission, the fluid cooler lines must be cleaned. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.
  1. Clean the fluid cooler lines. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER - BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING  in this article.
    2. CAUTION: Prior to the installation of the transmission, a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter must be installed. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.
  2. Install a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter. For additional information, refer to TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION COOLING .
    3. CAUTION: Prior to the installation of the assembly, the torque converter pilot hub must be correctly lubricated or damage to the torque converter or the engine crankshaft can occur.

  4. If the special tool has not been installed during the assembly of the transmission, install the special tool to hold the torque converter in place while moving and positioning the transmission in place. Once the transmission is in place and before bolting it to the engine remove the special tool.
  5. Position the transmission in place. While raising the transmission into the engine compartment, align the fluid filler tube with the stub tube on the transmission using the fluid level indicator as a guide.

    While installing the transmission to the engine, align the torque converter studs with the mounting holes in the flexplate.

    23. 4x4 applications 

  23. If equipped, install the transfer case. For additional information, refer to TRANSFER CASE .

    24. 4x2 applications 

  24. Install the rear driveshaft. For additional information, refer to DRIVESHAFT .

    25. All applications 

  25. Adjust the shift linkage. Verify that the vehicle starts in PARK and NEUTRAL and the REVERSE lamps illuminate in REVERSE. For additional information, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS .
  26. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level, and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24-liter (0.5-pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).
  27. Use the following guidelines for the in-line transmission fluid filter:
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter kit.
    • If the transmission is being installed for non-internal repair, do not install an in-line filter or filter kit.
    • If installing a new or a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.
    • Prior to lowering the vehicle, install a new in-line transmission filter or a filter kit. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID IN-LINE FILTER  in this article.
