i must say, this is the cleanest method of removing the axle ive seen. The techs in the other videos always had issues with that axle nut. Good job 🙂

Excellent video! The best I've seen. Others are removing the strut to spindle bolts requiring an alignment afterward. In addition I've seen others saying the exhaust manifold must be removed which it clearly doesn't. Thanks again.

I work on these for a living. I used a cheap contour gauge to make a sort of wooden cradle that makes the bottom of the 62TE flat, so it isn't constantly fighting to fall off the jack and onto your foot. Makes this whole surgery MUCH easier. Good video, thanks.

Nice! used it as reference ; I am removing the whole engine with the transmission attached due to a hydro locked engine, can't turn the crankshaft, but in my case I have removed the whole front of the vehicle and today got the harness off, axles are off, not the intermediate shaft, hope it won't be a problem because those 3 bolts securing it to the block I could only get to 1, my clearance under the car is only 3 feet as my lift is a half lift Max Jax, but thanks to their creeper it is still very nice and relatively comfortable to work under the car, lastly removed the 3 bolts for the back transmission mount now the engine is being held only by the right and left mounts; soon it will be out and I can't wait to open it up and see if I can still use the block; i would like to repair the damage if possible without having to swap the engine with a used one or buying a remanufactured long block, nobody sells just the short block, i am hoping that it would be a bent connecting rod but will know better once opened and go from there.

If your pulling the whole thing you can prob leave the shaft on the motor till you get it out.

I don't know the actual torque. I just tighten them tight.

Do you have to pre fill the torque converter when installing?

I just pour in a little bit. Doesn't have to be a lot. A few Oz.

Do you need to flash or quick learn the van after a trans swap?
@mechanicgray
@mechanicgray 3 ай бұрын
Yes. Usually with a scan tool reset the adaptive shifts. There's prob a way to do it without the scan tool also.

How do I separate the transmission from the engine when the engine is hydro locked and cant spin by turning crankshaft?
@mechanicgray
@mechanicgray Ай бұрын
It will pull apart and the torque converter will stay on the motor. Then unbolt it with a wrench. But I see your problem. Probably not enough room to slide it out with the converter still attached. I haven't had this problem on one of these yet. I would start by breaking it loose so there is some room then try a wrench.

@@mechanicgray by removing the pulley, water pump and all the side of engine may be able to have the space, may need around 6 to 8 inches to be able to which is why everyone yells me I will have to lift the whole assembly out, the engine needs to be stripped to the blocks for repairs anyways so I could try taking it apart while still in the bay but I reckon I am limited to how much space the crankshaft gives me to move it to the left and I think it is not more than few inches, I was hoping I could leave the tranny on, but on the bright side I get to assembly it correctly as you show here and install it as one which some would probably say it is better

Roughly How much does it cost to buy and change a transmission on the dodge vans. I have a 2019 and I am scare it’s going to give out on me because of their reputation so I am thinking of trading it in before it does.
@mechanicgray
@mechanicgray Ай бұрын
To rebuild the one that's in it around $2500. New one is much more.
