Section 26 (Automatic Transmission - 5R110W (TORQSHIFT-R)): Installation: Transmission: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All vehicles 

NOTE: Install a new Oil-To-Air (OTA) cooler as part of a transmission overhaul, or when installing a remanufactured transmission due to major metallic failure, multiple clutches or clutch plate failures or sufficient component wear, which results in metallic contamination.
NOTE: Prior to installation of a new or overhauled transmission, clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.
  1. When an overhauled or remanufactured transmission is installed, flush and clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes, then verify fluid flow to prevent repeat repairs. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING  and TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER .
  2. For vehicles equipped with a Power Take-Off (PTO) assembly, prior to installing the transmission, flush and clean the PTO assembly to remove any foreign material. Failure to remove foreign material from the PTO assembly may result in subsequent transmission concerns.
  3. NOTE: Prior to installation of the transmission, lubricate the torque converter pilot hub or damage to the torque converter or engine crankshaft can occur.

    Lubricate the torque converter pilot hub with multi-purpose grease.

  4. Rotate the torque converter so the green or orange paint daub on the converter is in the 12 o'clock position.
  5. If the Torque Converter Retainer has not been installed during the assembly of the transmission, install the Torque Converter Retainer to hold the torque converter in place while moving and positioning the transmission in place. Once the transmission is in place, prior to bolting it to the engine, remove the Torque Converter Retainer.
