Great vid man! I’m doing one tomorrow on a 2016 1.6T AWD. I appreciate guys like you who take the time to put this info out there. I always like to see what I’m getting into before I turn a wrench. Oh yeah….tell your boss to get off your back! If your channel takes off he’ll be working for you….. if you let him! Ha ha!

At 12:30, that cover on the T-case doesn't need to come off. The T-case comes out fine with the cover on it. Thanks for posting, was a great help!

Good repair info for LOTS of different jobs in one video. Well done!

Most amazing thing I've seen! Mad skills! Very well done sir.

Hey thank you for the video I was able to pull it exactly in 2 hours at my shop God bless you brother

Thanks for the video. I have a friend who is about to have a 2016 rebuilt, which is why I was searching KZfaq. A whole lot of work just to remove that thing.

Thank you, all of your instructions were right on. I did it without a car lift, utilizing floor jacks. For those of you who attempt this, keep in mind the car will roll on the ground so chock the back wheels. I made an A-Frame out of 2x8s on wheels to attach my electric cable hoist to. I then put a 5/16th wire cable through the factor lifting lugs and attached my hoist to the cable. Since I was on jack stands, I always leave my floor jack under the car up in case of jacks failing as a precaution. So I purchased a cheap bottle jack for holding the engine up. In the video, you hear him call for assistance to remove the ball joints. Do it his way. I destroyed the one because no one was around, It took forever. I then had help available for the second one and it popped right out. But I am replacing both since I have 178,000 miles on them. I took way longer than 4 hours but I drink a lot of coffee and as a professional Millwright I wrench machinery all day at work. Without a car lift, it means a lot of crawling around. But is very doable. Using an electric hoist was an advantage because I could lower and lift without assistance with the buttons to hoist hanging below the car. Note: I doubled the hoist cable to a two-part configuration. This cuts the up and down by 1/2 speed giving better control while removing the transmission. Excellent Job, your video was really appreciated

To remove those four 15 MM bolts for the Torque converter, I simply removed the oil pan. It's so much easier. I read the conversation you had with the other person. Totally get it. You're at a shop, and the owner might not like that.

i was removing one this afternoon. i saw that the rear mount removed let the engine going back a few inches back giving enough room to handle the turbine bolts with no problem!!!. Awesome!!!

Awesome speed and precision.Your hired!!

Dylan, I’m a New Subscriber to your channel. I appreciate you sharing your doing stuff with us. Awesome Job, Thank you!

This is high quality info, thanks brother.

That’s what I’m talking about, good job… I’m doing one now 👏👏👍

Thanks for this video Dylan. I'm going to try your technique on the torque converter nuts. Let's pray....

Dude...great video!!!!!

Excelente amigo. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.

Seriously people, take off the cowl, it takes less than 3 minutes and you won’t have to fiddle fuck with the battery and air filter. I have removed hundreds of these transmissions, trust me, you be thankful you did.

Damn good video doing the job right now

Great video!

Excellent 👌 job

I did with 4 wd ,but I took whole front bumper, became easy everything can touch it,and save a lot time

Done a few of these already and you can leave the tcase in. It kinda tucks to the side and gives enough room for the bell housing bolts on that side

You so good bro!!!

Good job. You do good work. Thanks for the thorough video. A great help to DIY guys and what to expect. My GF 2016 escape awd 2.0 at 141k is having weird tranny issues. Autozone computer scan says it was a cam sensor. Replaced that. Didn’t fix. Changed oil to make sure cam phasers were messing up engine timing. Checked coil packs. Replaced one just to be safe. No change. Now have to take somewhere to get a good deep scan diagnostic. On hills it has this jumping and rumble strip action. And at certain RPM. Can’t decide if it’s Transmssion or engine has a miss causing tranny to react. Damnit. Where is the shop you work at located? I once worked at a Mr. Transmission shop. I was disgusted at the tactics to get people to rebuild or replace. I had to bail out of that line of work. I felt sorry for people. What I learned was Chrysler products were the worst. Honda made a good car but the auto trannies would last a long time and when they would go the car had so many miles it went worth the expensive parts. Ford was a slightly better trans in pickups, cop cars, and mustangs than gmc/Chevy. But a little more costly to repair than gmc/Chevy. I guess ford and Gm/Chevy were kind of equal on that regard. But outside of service vehicles and regarding small cars, minivans and small suv….Japanese kicked ass. Mercedes was a nightmare unless it’s the old w123 chassis with a manual. Or the German standard taxi cab design model. Never ever own a Land Rover/Range Rover/jaguar. Never mess with bmw unless it’s a tried and true model with a manual. Volvo sucked unless it’s an old brick model. Toyota was a pretty good product overall. The appeal of the Ford Escape was it had lots of room, featured, and performance for its size compared to honda and Toyota. But if I had it to do over again…:I’d never let my Gf buy a Ford Escape. Sacrifice power, room and featured and buy a Toyota…then maybe honda. American stuff can be junk if it’s not a unique purpose built unit. Duck dynasty, joe dirt, meemaw, peepaw, honey boo boo, kid rock, and Ted Nugent were hungover at the assembly plant after a long hard weekend of booze, meth, and dollar general bbq. They purposely leave bolts loose, sabotage the vehicles in assembly cause they are not making enough wages to afford the vehicle they are assembling. They lack proper healthcare and are unappreciated by the company they work for. The culture they are surrounded by promotes cartoonish ideas. Good people under a bad influence. Japan promotes honor and Kaizen.

You DA MAN Dylan.

thanks Bro for Sharing

Good Job Bro. Try to remove the cowl next time. In this case you will have a lrge room and space from the top and will be very easy to put back the mount , battery and air cleaner. That is what I am doing always.

Did a motor in an Escape the other day. Have to at least pull the trans back out. Started it up and can hear something rattling around inside the bellhousing. It was a used motor I installed and am pretty sure the junkyard dropped a torque converter nut behind the flex plate.

hello, contact from Italy I have a Ford Kuga 05/2018 (your version of Ford Escape). diesel engine with powershift (perhaps 6dct450 with oil bath clutch) has this version been modified?

Hey, liked and subscribed. Appreciate your videos. I need your advice for someone who just lost his job and his car and trying to get the cheapest way to fix my own transmission through your videos. I have a 2017 Ford escape se 1.5 eco boost. My cv joint on driver side been clicking for weeks. Then yesterday, no forward motion then a jerk from the car and then moves forward again. Happened about 3 times. Felt like transmission. Then I put car in park and gave it a little gas. Sounded like 1 small gear lightly touching another one and making a high pitch sound. I let off the pedal I could here the rotation slow down as I watched the rpms also go down. Had it towed. Mechanic says bad transmission he said 7600 to replace that the only place he can get it from is Ford. Anyway, what are the chances that this could be a torque converter issue that I could buy for a couple hundred and put in? If you don't think so, then can I order gears if I see a bad gear or something? Cv joint I know I will need to replace. Any help on the cheap would be apprecitaed.

Great video what is the going labor rate to replace the transmission on 2013 2wd 1.6 tubo?

Hello Dylan.. I just had my mechanic to replace the transmission in a 2015 Ford Escape SE 1.6L, but when I took it up to the Ford dealership to get the transmission programmed to the motor, the Ford Dealership said that it wouldn’t allow them to and that it was throwing off about 7 different codes.. so do you have an idea what went wrong.. because I purchased the rebuilt transmission from Willow Creek Transmission in South Carolina..?

have a 13 2.0 awd, have the hardest time even getting to the top bolt of the PTU. I cut down a rachet and got the forth bolt but I can't get the last bolt. any recommendations?

Hi I have a 2015 escape 2.0 and it shakes very bad when I put it in drive I hooked up scanner n its bad misfire on all cylinders. I take foot off brake pedal and it smooths out I feel like a bad torque converter. Car is very smooth in park Not when you get to a stop sign it shake.reverse shakes half of when its Its in Drive can a bad torque converter be a problem.

I’m having trouble moving that starter out of the way I’m not seeing any of the bolts you took out and am I supposed to take tol he stater completely out to get to the torque converter nuts

Question where did you buy that torque convertor. Also I have a 2013 Ford escape 2.0 turbo no Miss fire no codes and I get vibration while in park and reverse. While driving the suv runs great it’s only in drive and reverse. Will the torque convertor do that, also it drops my rpms while in drive and reverse. Thanks you for the help

Dylan where are you located? You are someone that I would want to replace the transmission on my 2014 Ford Escape. 2.5L S stock Ford Escape. Do you know how much something like this would run me over at the transmission shop you work at?

What happens if converter doesn’t want to cone out together. What’s best method to separate once started and into this problem ?

My 2013 ford escape just leaked a half gallon of tranmission fluid as i was putting it in. I had a small leak but as i was putting it in cause it started acting up, it just all came out.what would you say the problem is.

My Trans went out in my 16 escape. Debating on attempting it myself. This video gave me hope that it can be done. I can't afford the 5500 to have shop do it. Are these transmission notoriously bad? Might just eat the rest of my loan amd trade it on something else

Did you take the trans cooler off, leaving the hoses on the cooler? Or, did you remove the hoses and leave cooler on trans?

I can imagine with the rate these things eat transmissions a fella could get quite proficient at replacing them , Damn you Ford ! As witnessed by this video .

Is the only thing you replaced was torque converter? How'd you come to diagnosis if so? Any thing on the computer need programming after? Thanks

can this be done without a lift? can I do it on the floor using only floor jack?

Please tell or show me how to test on the bench

Hey I have a ford escape 2016 all my transmission fluid leaked out omw in too work

I have 2015 Ford Taurus 2.0 engine with eco boost I found the torque converter strips out and need to be replaced, How much would a job like this cost me?

Removing the transfer case and axle is only for awd and not 2wd?

I have a 2014 escape awd it will shudder when driving, ford garage said it was spark plugs and after changing them said they found metal shavings in the transmission, want $7000 to replace. how do I know if its really the tranny?

Hey man great video! I just replaced the trans in a 14 escape 1.6 fwd and I'm getting a grinding sound with the starter installed. If I just hold the starter in with my hand and start the car then pull it away once started it doesn't make the noise. Any thoughts what it could be rubbing on?

Did you programming the tcu?

At 40:11, you said "Plug In Transmission 2 Plugs ONE In Front On Pan One On Left Side Front By Pan." I connected the one on the front on pan.... Pan = Black Valve Body Cover? I can't find the second connector. I don't remember a second connector besides the turbine sensor. Reason I'm asking is I'm not getting the vehicle to crank, so I'm trying to figure out which ground I haven't connected yet.

There are 2 holes on the AWD transfer Case yoke to separate the rear drive shaft from yoke.

is the 2013 transmission fit on 2016 ? they look like a same if no what is the different ?

So I was drving today when my 2016 escape 1.6 AWD started to just got nuts RPM up down, crazy shifts etc, then the warning came on transmission fault displayed. If stopped for 5 mins engine of restarted, warning was gone but not a few meters down the road same issue. Called a tow and brought her to the shop! So what am I possibly looking at for repairs. Great video by the way.

The car was White when u start it, but I saw gray car at the end 🤔

Podria traducir en castellano .porfavor. gracias.👍

Soy de chile

dose a reman need to be programmed?

To have

Aamco quoted $11,000 to pull old transmission and install a remanufactured transmission.

Looks alot harder than a buick lesabre i changed out transmission on.

This is a 1.6L

I like to more experience in Ford can u help me I from 🇸🇳

That T case looked pretty awful. Not looking forward to pulling mine

Damm, ford the battery is in the wrong spot. Oh you did that on purpose.

Good job but it's a lot. It seems like my 01 navigator was easier

Make it look so easy. I have removed tons of transmissions. When I took this one out I was thinking. Ford sucks what a horrible car. I feel for anyone that's gotta work on one. Absolute junk. Hey Ford why don't you just make more cheap brittle plastic parts. 😂😂

Whoever designed this car needs to have…. Bad things done to them. Very bad things.
