Transmission - 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel: Installation
- Prior to installing a new transmission or an overhauled transmission with a new main control, record the solenoid strategy identification tag. If a new main control was installed, install the replacement solenoid body tag over the original identification tag.
-
NOTE: Prior to installation of the transmission, lubricate the torque converter pilot hub or damage to the torque converter or the engine crankshaft can occur.
Lubricate the torque converter pilot hub with multi-purpose grease.

-
NOTE: If the transmission is not positioned on the dowel pins, damage to the transmission may occur.
If the dowel pins were pulled out of the engine block during removal, install new dowel pins in the engine block.
- Install the special tool. Use Special Service Tool: 307-625 Fixture, Bench Mounting.
-
NOTE: If transmission is being replaced, remove the transmission fluid fill plug and verify that the transmission is filled with transmission fluid.NOTE: If transmission was disassembled, add transmission fluid to the transmission.NOTE: Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) shown, Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) similar.
- Remove the transmission fluid fill plug transmission fluid level indicator assembly.
- Verify transmission is filled with transmission fluid.
- Slightly tilt the transmission rearward.
- If the transmission was disassembled, add 12.30L (13 qt) of transmission fluid to the transmission through the transmission fluid fill hole.

- Install the transmission park manual release cable heat shield.
- Install the transmission support insulator. Refer to: Transmission Support Insulator - 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel .
- Install the heatshield and the retainers.
Torque: 80 lb.in (9 Nm)
- Install the rear driveshaft assembly. Refer to: Rear Driveshaft .
- Install the front driveshaft assembly. Refer to: Front Driveshaft .
- Check the transfer case fluid level. Refer to: Transfer Case Draining and Filling .
-
NOTE: If equipped with a underbody splash shield, do not install the splash shield at this time.
Install the starter motor assembly. Refer to: Starter Motor .
- Connect the battery ground cable. Refer to: Battery Disconnect and Connect .
- After completing the repairs, perform the Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction procedure using a diagnostic scan tool.
- If a new transmission or a new main control was installed, the solenoid body strategy must be updated. Refer to: Transmission Strategy Download .
- If the transmission was overhauled, the adaptive drive cycle must be updated. Refer to: Adaptive Learning Drive Cycle .
- While driving the vehicle, use the scan tool to verify that the TFT has reached a temperature of 96.7 deg.C-102 deg.C (206 deg.F-215 deg.F). This will circulate the transmission fluid through the torque converter and the transmission fluid cooling system, eliminating any trapped air in the transmission fluid cooling system.
- Check the transmission fluid level. Refer to: Transmission Fluid Level Check .
