Used this and Part 2 to change the transmission in my 2006 Ford Escape XLT. Only minor differences. Excellent video and editing. The tips saved me countless hours knowing what to remove to get access to the transmission. Also, removing the lower arm at the ball joint was WAY easier than other videos I watched. Only took a few minutes to remove the Axles. People like you are what make KZread an invaluable resource. Thank you, sir!

Glad it helped!
I see this is a few years old, but wow so valuable for getting through the driver’s side engine bay! Great production. Explanations clear and concise, and your direction and indicators of WHICH nuts/bolts are very clear. Thanks a million!
I never knew those cable clamp pliers existed. You just changed my life!

Im only knowing for a couple years and i got every tool i thought.
Great video. Not only do you show how to remove a transmission, you have to remove so much stuff to get at it, it's informative on those parts too.
The name is brilliant . Best teacher i ever had would start energy instruction with "oh it's easy"
Its good to have someone to show you and easy to follow with all the detail.
This channel is an inspiration for all mechanics. Love this channel!
Agree with the others here, mad props to you, man. You are by far, in my top 5 of KZread tutorialists. .
good god dude! This is by FAR the best instructional video I have ever watched! Mad Props!!!!!

Right! So happy i found this dude.
Love the way that you organize your bolts & parts!
Thank you! I was replacing a water pump and came across a broken tube. Wasn't sure what it was even attached to but it said 4x2 so I assumed it was the transmission. Found this video trying to see if was the transmission so I'd have a point of reference to start from, and you actually identified the exact tube by name.
Great video! You covered everything and did a gave great detail on the removal process! I had your video plying while removing the transmission from my 06 Ford Escape. Thank you for the videos!
Great video man. Very informative, no bs. Considering tackling this project in the spring
Amazing and educational video. Thank you so much for share your knowledge.
Trans on my chest is how I roll! LOL.
i just sub, cuz i like your video. its my first video and not even 4 mins in . you definitely know how to transfer knowledge to your audience.
Thank you very much sir….. got stuck putting one back together after someone else took it apart and your videos are the only helpful ones I’ve found 🙃😶🌫️🤘 you awesome sir thank you again
Most of the escapes we see the rearend is completely rusted thru at the wheel well shock mounts. Good content.
Man I wish this was a video for the 2.3 perfect video
Wow, done very very well
Well done. Thank you!!
thank you for this video. your the best
I pulled the whole engine and trans out the top in one unit. Took about 6 hours. No lift but it got done.
Dude you rock......
I like the old school carrying it on my chest! Lmoa
The best wrecker😁
Thank you omg.
great i watch your all videos complete
Do you have a video for 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring? 4.0 Liter with the 62TE transmission? I would love to see it.
I haven't started to remove the transmission in mine,yet. But since I was planning on replacing valve cover gaskets at some point, I'm going to do this at the same time I plan on removing the transmission. In doing this I'm thinking that this should give me enough clearance to reach the upper exhaust manifold bolts from the top side. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. By the way..GREAT VIDEO!!
I replaced the transmission in my 02 Mazda Tribute and got everything hooked back up, the battery and starter both still fine but I get absolutely no power when trying to turn the key, what could be the issue?
Nice work #MayoCarsDR
where does the other end of that vent hose go ????
Are the 4x2 and 4x4 CD4E interchangeable? I can’t find any 4x2 for sale and they look identical when you disconnect the transfer case.
Does anyone know if the bolt pattern for the transmission on a 08 Mazda Tribute 4 cylinder front wheel drive will be the same for a fire escape transmission? I have to do a swap and don’t know if it will work
I got a question, if I just wanted to remove the starter and just the starter not anything else, is there an easy way to do so?
Is this transmission same as the 2.3l escape
Part 2?
13 minutes in I realized this is an 2001-2004 model, the mounts are different on 06 and others
Great vid and instuction. Q: is procedure similar for 2006 escape in line 4 cyliner? A bit easier, maybe?

To be honest I don't remember having to do this job on a 4cylinder, but yes typically smaller engines are easier to work around

No need to remove thermostat housing or coolant hoses. It sucks but if you dig, you'll get to those bolts.
