Transmission - Gasoline Engines: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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, the transmission fluid cooler tubes must be cleaned.
    NOTE: 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.
  1. Lubricate the torque converter pilot hub with multi-purpose grease.

  2. Rotate the torque converter so the orange or green paint daub is in the 12 o'clock position.
  3. 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, prior to bolting it to the engine, remove the special tool.

  37. Use the following guidelines for the transmission fluid inline filter:
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with a transmission fluid inline filter, install a new inline filter.
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with a transmission fluid inline filter, install a new transmission inline filter kit.
    • If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install a transmission fluid inline filter or filter kit.
    • If installing a new or a Ford authorized remanufactured transmission, install a transmission fluid inline filter.

      Prior to lowering the vehicle, install a new transmission fluid inline filter or a filter kit.

  38. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES article.
  39. Adjust the selector lever 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 article.

  41. 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 transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved (transmission fluid should be in the hot range cross-hatched area of the transmission fluid level indicator).
