Bro! That was ON POINT! the way you explained the prices and what to do and why... bro you're the man. That was professional and highly skilled in teaching. Big props.

I just want to say thank you for encouraging me to do mine. I actually don’t think I would have done this job if it wasn’t for you. With your video I was able to drop mine with the ratchet strap and floor jack method and it worked almost perfectly. Anyone who is hesitant about this, you can definitely do it

Nick, the more I watch your videos the more I realize I have no business doing what you do lol Big ups for putting these vids out though. I watch them just to increase my knowledge of what I'm driving and also to have some insight so some shop doesn't rip me off. Thanks again. You are a HUGE help !!!!!!

You are really on point when it comes to Fords! Really wish you were closer to NC so you could service mine. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dang man. Definitely impressed me with this how to video. Most are nowhere near this informative

Great video!!. This is just the video I was wanting to see. I am so excited that you decided to make a transmission removal video. Great video again!!

Dude. This video is absolute gold. Thank you for your walk-through. 💪🏿

Great video! Welcome back bro! 👍🏻

Great video mate! amazing walk through the steps with safety measures! I learnt a lot from you Cheer

Thanx Bro. This helps me very much. Now I am ready to remove my Explorer 2007 broken tranny 🙂

Like a pro. Well spoken. And entertaining.

Man I like I got to change the timing cassette all I got to do is pull the tranny this weekend in the snow on the ground it's going to be a job. Thank you very much for making this video awesome 👍

This was a nicely detail video.. this is great content!!

That was a very detailed video....two thumbs up

Just what I needed. Your video came just in time. Reverse on my transmission is slipping, so wife wants it rebuilt or replaced. Will you be doing a video on rebuilding the trans. Your timing chain guide video helped me out big time. Your video was the best out there. Thanks again for putting awesome videos like this out.

Wise beyond your years. Impressive

Very good explained, very good video appreciate, thanks.👍

Thank you for making this video

Great Job Great Detail wondering if i feel like tackling my 2010 Mountaineer 4.0L lost reverse only!

Thank you! You did a great job with this video. I would like to add that on the V8, there are 3 bolts on the starter and that top bolt is a doozy to get out. Maybe others have a trick.

Hello Nick, @platinum garage Ever had the input shaft from the transmission come out with the torque converter? Any idea on how to get it back in?

you fine too I'm a mechanic and am helping with one of these just learning pretty much I can't wait to be a pro at this specialized in electronics but first transmissions

Good job man!

And you do an excellent video on this thank you

After watching your excellent video, I am now sure that I made the correct decision to not do it myself. If I had a lift, I might try it, but I'm too old to be squirming around on the driveway.

Great video...

Great video I'm buying a 2003 V8 Ford explorer XLT. It slips in 3rd. Don't know if I'm going to have to remove the tranny or not. Any advice would be helpful thank you for your help.

Hi, can you help me here, these are suppose to be a 5 speed trans but they only show a 3 speed on the shifter so how does that work. Normally it would show 4 gears plus the overdrive makes the 5 like on the next generation model that should have the same trans.

So I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xls 4.0 rwd Transmission is in and everything but my frame has crossmember that has what I want to call a ground wire or cabe that has to be strew also but don’t know where the heck it goes. Do you have any advice??

Thank you so much for your reply and your excellent video I do have one last question will the 5R55 s from a 4 .0 l go in a 4.6 with no problem.

Man I recently replace my transmission with a moutaineer it would work good but reverse wouldn't it would also make a loud rattling sound especially when accelerating like it was the timing chains but it wasn't. Didn't even make 1k miles and my truck gave out. Maybe they didn't install it right bad flex plate maybe? Your thoughts bro?

How do you get that last right passenger transmission bolt off no room

Bro I took off the bolts from the transfer case but I’m pulling it back and forth but is not coming off. Any idea why? I checked and no more bolts around housing

You recommend replacing the timing chain cassette, Can I do that with the engine still in the car on my 2007 Explorer sport track?

If you snap off the crossmember bolts because they’re rusted inside the box frame, what do you do if you are going to reinstall? Cut an access hole?

This guy watches VGG. 😅😅. This was a great video. I am having transmission issues on my mountaineer and my have to pull it

Yo! Bro. Hands Down that was the best you tube video tutorial I have seen yet. You Explained It Simple Simon, Correct Steps, Correct Types Socket sizes, & Smartly Verblized. Good Job Sir. All Pro. I'm now feeling confident to take it on this Tranny on next weekend. Except I'll be removing mine in 20F Anchorage Alaska on the ice impacted driveway. So you thought yours hurt. Holy shit Batman. Ya, I got lucky they don't shipped Transmissions up here, Unless you know a guy at Napa Auto Parts. I've worked outside most my Crane & boom trucks commercial electric lighting company contractor. Being trained by real men. So when I became a Contractor. Nothing scared me anymore. Until I moved to Alaska. This is where boys become men. No Joke. If you try to work outside for 8hrs in middle of winter in Alaska non-stop, YOU WILL CRY & MAYBE DIE....

Damn good job kid.

How do you repair the broken off crossmember bolts when you are not parting the vehicle?

You'r great boy

Bravo!!!

Quick question...that connector on the ECU harness that goes into the solenoid box in the pan... How likely are those to fail and how likely are the wires to corrode or burn up from transmission heat ? My moms 5r55S all of a sudden went in limp mode out and throwing low circuit codes for shift B and C pressure solenoids and the Torque Converter Clutch out of nowhere and I bet it has something to do with that connector or the wiring from it to the ECU... If not, it's the solenoid pack itself, which is like $400..🤦🏾‍♂

Did you remove the transmission fluid before detaching the transmission? I need to replace the rear timing chain guide and then reinstall the same transmission.

I understand to install do in reverse. Would it be possible if you did an install. My friend installed a torque convertor wrong and damaged the transmission.

I have a ford ranger pk 2009 it has the 5r55s transmission and had an oil leakage in the cooling system. Didn't know until it started slipping I tried fixing it by putting in 7 quats of oil but slipping still continued forgot to mention transmission fluid was looking like Christmas sparkly with bits of clutch I was advised to change the valve body because it would go from first to fifth with each gear with stuttering between shifts. Any advice on what I should do?

Looking for a video to show how to remove wiring harness!

How do i know what transmission i have i got a 03 mountaineer awd v6 4.0 engine thanks new subscriber from ny

I currently have the 5r55e with close ratio and a 4.10 axle ratio. I am wondering if I could remove it and install a 5r55w with wide ration and change my axle ratio to 3.55. This would give me better highway economy and lower engine rpm’s and still give me the good acceleration because of the lower first and second gears in the 55w. Wondering if this would be a direct fit? Am I going to run into electronic problems? Will it plug and play?

E13 or E14 for the torque converter? This video has me feeling prepared!

Thank you. Question...I removed my trans and transfer case. Putting everything back together now. Can't recall where the fuel line bracket was supposed to bolt to (trans? transfer case? Etc.). It's the metal piece about six inches long and has two clips for the fuel (I think) lines....

I have literally lost 2 years of my life on this car… sooo much money, 6 transmission repair jobs done and transmission is still burning up and thank you for helping me understand the ins and outs of this process, I can now talk to the mechanic working on this car and finally be done with this !!!!!

talented mechanic. was curious if you will have to drill those bolts out you broke off and how difficult they are

hello have a question , can a i swap from a 4x4 transmision to a 4x2 trans , what problems would i encouter ? probaly the rear driveshaft need to be longer ? does evertything line up correctly have my thoughts ? dont need 4x4 usage ,

the only thing I wish you would have done is put blocks under the frame also just in case a jack stand breaks. I have short pieces of railroad ties I use combined with jack stands

How do you know which transmission to get they say there's two types

How do you remove the harness from the cylinder head? I've been searching the Internet for way to long. I can't find a single video showing how to do it.

Hi Nick, awesome video very detailed information. Where in N.J. are you located?

Hey do u happen to know the specs of the Bell housing bolts like thread size and length

Hi, hello Since u have good knowledge about Ford Explorers can I know is there a manual transmission which is suitable for a 2008 Ford Explorer WITH OUT MODIFYING THE TRAN MOUNT AND BELL HOUSING Pls let me know Thanks 😊

Letting the ads play so you can get paid. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Great video! I have a 2006 Explorer 4.0L. How long does it take to remove the transmission? I need to replace my rear main seal. Thanks in advance!

Do you know if it’s possible to remove transfer case on a 06-10 without removing the crossmember? I know it can be done easily on 02-05, not sure about later models.

OSAM💯💸

What is that stacked metal on the sides called 🤔 is it for towin

Is there another transmission that can be used in place of the 55r?

Can you do a subaru ascent?

Quick question. When turning the motor with the 19mm socket (to get to the torque converter bolts), can I leave the belt on or does it have to be removed?

How much do u charge for a job like this, also where state r u in. I have a 2010 explorer and it seems to have a tranny leak coming from the top of the bell housing. Any suggestions?

Well I bought a 2003 Ford explorer XLT 4.6. Does it have a timing chain cassette? Is there any programming required for the ECU or is it just swap and go?

So young man here's an old-school trick for you what you do is take some half inch rebar cut it the length you need cut one of your half-inch drive 3-in extensions in half double it for welding it really hard put a big old weld the connection be mostly Weld and that way you know it's really strong and I've never broken one even with the impact so I make up to three Footers for the big Chrysler transmission

Hey nick how many hours does it take remove and replace the transmission on a 06 explorer4by4 I have a impact and a transmission jack also have to do the rear cassette. Thanks.

I'm looking or someone that can tell me if the 55s and 55w will go in place of a 55e. I want the lower 1st and second gear for my ranger with same top gear ratios. dont want to do axle gears because it effects the highway rpm also.

I'm subscribing just because

Does the 5R55S come with the 4.6 V8 aswell?

I just wanted to ask a question about a ford 4.0 i have a 4.0 mustang and whenever its been driven hard and doing a bunch of pulls frequently the oil pressure gauge goes down for a second or two and then it goes right back up after a little bit im confused at whats happening here

What would an estimate for ** just labor** be to do this trans swap?

Where should I charge for this job, TN

the same 4x4 transmission works for the 4x2?

Does the transmission need to be in neutral in order to turn the flexplate for reinstalling the torque converter bolts? And will it make a difference if the emergency brake is on?

Is this different then a 5R55E transmission on a 04 sports track 4L?

Where you located got an 08 needs a engine

anyone knows where the best place to get one that won't cost an arm and a leg?

GREAT FUKING VIDEO MAN !!! it should def have more views/likes !

Is he accurate when he says 5 thousand TONS?

Wondering if you have any videos pressure testing a fuel line as I believe my fuel pump went bad? Or fuel pump replacement?

Hey do you have a link for a gasket set for the 4.0

wow im going to jung my 99 ford ex 4x4

Great video, intelligent. U need better lighting though. 4 a young guy u know the ropes. Thanks.

5:27 Tonya Harding !!!! I....AM...DEAD !!!!!! 👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Lmao 5,000 tons got me, them joints are heavy as all get out.

Oh god the rust

A lot of f@ckery!! Hands down you have tons of patience 💯💯💯💯

I bought a 2003 explorer with 210k miles for $600. Owner thought it threw a rod or worn bearing after hearing a loud rattle coming from within the engine and didn't want to fix it. After doing some research I believe it's the infamous 4.0 sohc death rattle coming from the front timing chain. It also needs a valve cover gasket and there is oil one of the spark plugs as well as rear diff is leaking fluid. Other than the engine problems, the condition of this car is a solid A. Tires are brand new including spare, absolutely no damage to the body other than that notorious crack down the back hatch. Interior is pretty pristine for an 03. It has no rust at all. All of the electronics work. AC blows ice cold. I'm sure the transmission is reaching the end but as of now still works well. My question is, what should I do with it. I really need another vehicle that can pull a medium trailer and would consider having it fixed if it made sense to do so. Would it be worth it to pull the engine and replace the timing components and gaskets or is the engine past its expiration date? Buying a used engine seems like a dice roll and hooking a reman to a 200k transmission doesn't seem to sensible. I'd appreciate some guidance! thanks!

lol f#$@ yeah bugs baby’s 😂

So I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xls 4.0 rwd Transmission is in and everything but my frame has crossmember that has what I want to call a ground wire or cabe that has to be strew also but don’t know where the heck it goes. Do you have any advice??
