I love your detail orientated work practices. I do that too to strive for zero comebacks for workmanship. Things like assembly goo on front seal, atf on converter snout. I thought I was the only one to lube the rear of the crankshaft so the converter glides up square flush and centered so it won't vibrate. Good work

Thank you. Great video.

Love to have seen the after repairs patern on the scope

Did the transmission jack leave any dents on the trans pan?

Thanks for the video. Are you dry installing or do you put fluid in the torque converter before installation?

The Ford reman units came filled with fluid so all you have to do is stab it in.

So I think I’m having an issue getting the converter all the way in. Probably spent a good chunk of time twisting and spinning lol. I noticed you used the level to check. When you set the level against the trans and converter is it flush? When I checked my converter using this method my converter snout was flat with the bell of the transmission, but I was having Flexplate to converter clearance issues. I was wondering if I need to hear it click again?

This one sat almost perfectly flush with bellhousing. You may have something else going on like the converter pilot is not perfectly round or burred?

Replaced the flexplate and about to install transmission, but new flexplate does not have orange alignment mark like original. What should I do? As always thanks for the information shared.

Doesn't matter. It can be clocked in any direction. Thanks for watching.

Does the torq converter have a marked clock position to the crank.. or just bolt it together??? Thank you for this video.. you saved me a ton of problems

Doesn't matter. Just make sure the torque converter studs slip through the flex plate and move freely while the bell housing bolts are being tightened so the pump isn't "stacked" 🙂

hey man so im working on my 13 f150 ecoboost, would you happen to have the fill procedure for after installing the transmission? im having trouble finding the proper sources showing the proper procedure and im wanting to make sure its done right.

AS PER PTS: "NOTE: The transmission will need 3.3L (3.5 qt) of transmission fluid added to the transmission as an initial fill if: -a new mechatronic assembly has been installed. -the transmission fluid pan or transmission fluid filter have been removed. NOTE: The transmission will need 11.35L (12 qt) of transmission fluid added to the transmission as an initial fill if the transmission has been overhauled. NOTE: The transmission fluid level indicator has 2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted (labeled B) area. Use the dotted area to check the transmission fluid level. NOTE: To get an accurate transmission fluid level reading the engine should be idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK. Verify that the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is between 91ºC-102ºC (195ºF-215ºF). Do not overfill the transmission. The transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the dotted (B) marked area on the transmission fluid level indicator." The amount will all depend on if the converter already has fluid in it. Here is how I do it: *Complete overhaul - Initial fill until fluid starts dripping out fill hole, start engine and then keep adding until fluid registers in the lower (A) area. Install dipstick and then drive until fluid is hot. Check again with engine running and fill until level reaches upper (B) area. *Fluid pan and Filter replacement only - Initial fill 3.5 qt, start engine and then keep adding until fluid registers in the lower (A) area. (somewhere in 5-6qt range) Install dipstick and then drive until fluid is hot. Check again with engine running and fill until level reaches upper (B) area. (somewhere in the 7-8qt range)

Oh boy, its a major repair then. I am looking to buy a used 2010 Fusion, the owner said "there is a torque converter shutter that occurs occasionally when driving 60+ in overdrive", is that something that would require a torque converter replacement? Thanks

If the fluid is real dirty sometimes flushing the fluid can fix a shudder. Otherwise the converter will need replaced.

@@raincitywrench117 Thanks for getting back to me RCW. Have you ever worked on a case where the shuddering occurs only at 60+ MPH? I've heard/seen a lot of cases where the shuddering occurs at much lower speed but not at high speed. I am interested in buying this 2010 Fusion hybrid with 150k miles for $4k, do you think its worth it?

The studs are for a guide only into the flywheel or do they bolt on?

The studs will clamp to the flex plate with nuts.

Have a question hopefully you can help me with it I have a 2010 f150 5.4 it has the 6r80 im wondering if the torque converter from a 5.0 f150 6r80 will fit in the 2010 f150 6r80

I can't say but I would look up converter part number for the 5.4L and the 5.0L to see if they are the same. It's possible they are and if they aren't I bet the converter bolt pattern is different.

Hello, watching this video, after the torque converter is in the transmission and you are installing it to the engine, how do you access the torque converter to install the 4 nuts?

Big time. It's called "stacking" if the converter isn't fully engaged. When the transmission bell housing bolts are tightened down with the converter not fully engaged into pump, it will destroy it. Not a good day if that happens.
