You are the only video I have seen that says to remove that panel. I already removed mine to see if I could and was wondering why no one else tried it.

The worst nightmare of this job was actually removing the cross member and the exhaust ! 8 bolts on the cross took 2 days and broke 3. I had to cut my exhaust off because some pipe bending artist did such a Beautiful job under there but, there are no connections anywhere !!! I should be able to weld it back together as I cut it with a cutting disk nice and straight .

I'm replacing my slipping transmission on a 2000 Ford f150 4*4. Thank you for the printers. Good video.

By the way...where I ran into real confusion was looking for am Inspection Plate to get at the Flexplate nuts ! There is NO Inspection Plate on this truck ! You MUST get the nuts off the Flexplate through the starter hole !!! Insane. Best Truck I've ever owned for working ! I've been hauling 7 cords of wood 3 times a week with that truck. Used it as a Skidder, a bit of Mud Bogging, years of Winter Hell Driving ! Theres no way I'd have gone through this for any other work vehicle !

PRO TIP: That access plate doesn't do much in the way of helping access the top bellhousing bolts, but it is tons easier to access the transmission cooling lines from there so I reccomend you remove it for those.

Yes no problem having I put a torque converter and fly with all this automatic with 4.0 four-wheel drive right and the starter now I can't get it started eating

im changinging mine in my 2000 explorer 4x4 it came out with ease but I cant get it lined back up to save my life man this is the hardest trans ive ever did

Looks like a nice place

how did you remove the upper bolts to engine? did you have to remove center console to take off access plate

i have the explorer 99 and started with by turning on the overdrive light and ir doesnt turn off, i had to park and turn it off, take our the key and turn it back on, and other problem that i have, it doesnt grab drive, i have to put it on first and quickly put it on drive, do you know why this problems happen? can you help me?

After working on my own Ford Vehicle's, and watching many You-Tube video's of other's working on their's, as well as talking to Ford Repair technician's in the Ford repair shop's, I have come to the following conclusion, and that I would swear that the entire sole purpose in life of all the Ford design engineer's, are to make all of those service and repair people's lives as miserable, and as difficult as possible, whether they are Ford owner's who do their own repairs at home, or the Ford service and repair technician's in a repair shop. because of the way the Ford design engineer's insist upon the hard to get to location of where things are being placed, and how hard it is to get to them in order to to remove, replace, or repair them. - Especially things like the (four), upper Bell Housing bolts.

Yep...driveshafts were a riot ! I think they used 3 different types of bolts at each end I disconnected and then, the CV joint that was supposed to pull out of the transfer case DOES NOT and I wanna Kill a Ford Engineeer for Sport :) (not really)

What is the easiest way to identify what type of transmission is in a Ford Explorer? Where do you look for the numbers?

Hi Applexus, I wanna buy gear box , oxygen censor and speed censor for my car ford explorer made 1995, how much is it including the shipping. i live in Rwanda

Would this apply to a 97 ford ranger 4.0l rwd automatic 4r55e 6 cyl truck??

did u have a problem lining urs up its like the tq wont slide back far enough ive turned the the flywheel everything just lacks a inche to be bolted up

Almost be worth pulling the whole engine?

Hi. What I am asking, do you need to remove the flywheel bolts to separate the motor from the transmission ?

hi I am trying to find a video on my ford f150 year 2000 v6 transmission filler tube install and remove thank you been to utube nothing there unless listed else where on a different heading thank you

I have a Ford Ranger that has many of the parts the Explorer has. How do I go about finding out what type of automatic transmission is on my truck? Is there somewhere on the transmission where its clearly marked as a 4R55E?

what is the difference 4r55e and 5r55e cuz of speed 4 SPD and 5 SPD and 4 SPD for auto and 5 SPD for manual ... am I right?

I r&r at a shop and I have 2 questions when you didnt take off the o2 sensor did it break andhow much of a bitch was it to try to pry the exhaust down far enough to have clearance for the bell housing I just take the exhaust off and the front drive shaft but than again I have fat hands

Will a 98. Ford explore transmission fit on a 96 ford ranger 4x4

You have some reason to fly with

can i put 1996 ford explorer transmission in a ford bronco

I think you might have a 95 there not a 96 explorer.

Damn this is a fucking project shit! I'm scared :(

Stupid KZfaq stabilizer...-_-
