Just fixed my gearbox with the same bearing problem! Just that one bearing made my van sound horrendous!! Really thought I needed a full rebuild or replacement box but this video gave me the idea to try and replace it and it works absolutely perfect now! Many thanks for this video and not to mention the money I have saved! 👍

Great video. I think I know all about that gearbox now 🤣 You make it so simple

Another cracking video Alan,you certainly know the tricks of the trade.

2 videos in 2 day wow keep it up Alan.

Great video Alan another gear box saved hope you are well and had a good new year 🎉❤

A gearbox for ebay ... well done Alan big happy new year to uou and the best of health

Great video Alan! Get that guard back on! 👍

A truly excellent video.

Morning Alan Mr mondingo man 😀 Love the Bobby hat 🤣 Always fascinating watching you do your suff 👍🏻

A BIG Thank you Alan!!👍

Scary and crazy one bearing can cause this.... In depth and interesting..... as always saturday night sorted for me... insignia vid next.... Best wishes.. N x

Great autopsy Alan, and fix💯 sorry way behind on vids, but will catch up, hope the hols are going well, take care👌🙏👍🙂

Hi there I did watch the other video of you doing the gear box bearing but my One it jumps out of 1st and a bit of a wine but it still drives perfect in all the other gear I have a 2012. Mk4 diesel estate I don't use the car every day and only go a few miles in it we have got some other cars so I will use it until I have to do it I am a Lorrie driver so as are mechanics say I will let it develop I will check your video on how to do the selectors on the gear's great job

thanks Alan, nice job for the afternoon, fingers crossed youve just saved me a bomb

Hi Alan 👋 Great work Again will Surely Help somebody cheers 🍻

Thank you Alan, 👏👌👍 the Stealership sold you a rebuilt gearbox for 3000€ for only one broken bearing

You’ve just earned yourself another subscriber my man , very good

thanks paul,much appreciated

It strikes me that the gasket will be part of the calculations of end float on the gearbox shafts. Without it, there will be excessive preload on the taper bearings on each end of those shafts. Would take some time but I would expect those bearings to fail earlier than they should - might be a tad noisy, as well.

The Ford boxes used have Belville spring washer behind outer taper race so that was the pre-load. Early escorts with larger engines that had the clutch dropped hard, flattened the Belville washers. First symptom was damaging speedo gear. Those and worn camshaft etc. paid off my mortgage in 10 years. These were done after work at nights loved the Fords good to repair, plus rusty bodywork.🤣🤣🤣

Great tutorial.. thank you..

Very good video. Thank you!

Thanks good video same sealed bearing why are they sealed and not like the others which are good lubricated from gear oil think ford put that one in to keep you busy

Thank you for your video. I'm contemplating buying a 17 plate 4x4 transit with a grinding rattling noise from gearbox 🤔🧐 I wonder.

Excellent very good video sir👍

Brilliant video,👍

Ótimo trabalho, qual óleo utilizado nessa caixa é de 6 ou 5 marchas?

Great video thanks for posting and you made it look so easy. Great filming i have the transit custom 2019 2.0 euro 6 its only done 15k so i am a long way of 250k lol. Question how do you know the oil level is ok in the transit gear box. On ford over many years you take out the oil level plug and if it drips out its ok. I have been told its different on the ford custom. Could you tell us or do a video on how you check it much appreciated. Michael nottingham 👍

Hello and thank you very much for this video. I have the same problem. Same comment as other people about fitting a sealed bearing. My level of English does not allow me to understand the comments. I have a few questions: type of thread lock used, tightening torque of the screw and where you position the magnet in the box when reassembling. During disassembly it fell. Thank you very much for an answer. I use google translate.

You and your Forks Alan. Doesn’t seem like yesterday you were on that Mondy

Another top vid.

Thankyou Alan 👍

Would it be worth opening that new bearing and exposing it to the gearbox oil

Nice job Pro

Looks to me the only bearing in the box that is sealed both sides ..the others are open to the gearbox oil ...perhaps that's the fault..maybe one seal should to be removed, to save the bearing spinning in its own detritus..not getting washed out with clean oil constantly like the others...thanks very much Alan, excellent video ..is that an mtx75 box ? f so, maybe you should mention that somewhere.. and i don't know on my connect mtx75 box ..there seems to be a plate over that bearing ..like it could be changed with the box still in the van?

I had the same thought Metalworker😁

Hi Alan, do you perhaps know if a gearbox bearing can be replaced seperated? I own a Ford Focuys 1.8TDCI from 2005, and while driving the car I hear a humming noise. When pressing the clucht while driving the sound is gone, by releasing it comes instant back no matter what gear. I noticed how higer I rev the car the more noise it makes.

Have you got any videos of taking Kia Sportage box apart?

I have a 2.2 Custom and the gearbox is changing gear beautifully however the whining noise is horrendous. Im guessing this is same problem. I would have loved to hear the sound before and after. Are all custom gearboxes the same?

Might be abit of a repeat Alan but we love your videos

THANKIOU

alan, mondeo 2023 not coming to europe, whats your opinion?

What causes the pitted bearings , are they coated and not one single material ball ?? Is it grease breaking down the cause of the pitted ness. Do I take it expensive bearings don’t break down until moon miles ???

@isbemorph

Жыл бұрын

I'd say the bearing was fitted too tight. If that was a cone bearing with a tiny hair of play it would last forever. [edit] 6:06 these three bolts hold the bearing but also preload it. So the bigger the torque, the more the balls are squeezed between the outer and inner race.

How much was the bearing??

Does anyone know where I buy a injector puller for MK5 mondeo 2.0 diesel?

Great!

In the "real world", a vehicle wouldn't reach 200k where the bearing might fail. A Ford would either be scrapped due to corrosion or the cost of a DMF and clutch. Alan's vehicles are different because they run up a huge mileage in just a few years. Useful information for Ford themselves.

Interesting that the only bearing in the box with a nylon seal, is the only bearing that has failed in both boxes. 🤔 I aways remove the nylon seals whenever I replace them.

Alright Alan,I was wondering could you give me an idea about two dead passenger doors ,front and back,the windows and central locking not working on mondeo mk4 ,I checked all the fuses,and changed driver door and passenger modules but the problem remains, if you have any experience with this problem I would appreciate it thank Niall

Pull the door panel and check if a module gets its power and ground. If not feed it with +12V from the battery to see if it starts working. I had such issue, it turned out to be a corroded power cable inside the rubber grommet sleeve between the body and the door.

I believe each door has its separate fuse in the boot. Maybe the fuses are not supplied with the necessary 12 volts. I'd start measuring in the boot first.

If that is such a bad bearing materials wise, can you buy a better(aircraft quality) bearing for it ?

Where’s your garage pal as I’ve got the same issue with my food focus

Why use a sealed bearing in a box that has open bearings in oil and the sealed ones failed. I’m currently changing a sealed bearing in a Ford ranger 2015 gear box!!

I thought you would have picked the seal out for inspection before your attacked it with Freddie five inch Bearing seems to be a common fault maybe poor quality bearing supply or is wrong application putting a sealed bearing within a gearbox think I would either of removed the seals or one for the oil to circulate through it Maybe have this conversation in another 250 thousand miles down the road.... Till the next time. See yah !

Personally I'd be leaning towards it being scenario 2, FAG make OEM quality bearings and using a sealed bearing in the way Ford have, doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Although with 200K+ on the box, maybe Ford aren't bothered because it's well outside its warranty period.

Do you not get bored working on cars all day? I know I do.

Just think, modern EVs don't have to worry about "Transmissions" K.I.S.S. :D
