How to Replace a Torque Converter Seal | 1995 Ford F150
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video, I show you how to replace the torque converter seal on this 4r70w transmission in my 1995 Ford F150. The seal only leaked during the winter when I would start or turn off my truck. I believe the seal deformed due to overheating. I didn't replace it with a Viton seal though. So far it is leak free. First, you will need to remove your transmission. Once the transmission has been removed, you can access the TC seal. Using a seal puller, pry at the seal and it should come loose. Clean up the seal area and make sure it is free of old RTV and dirty. Apply 500 degree fast drying RTV to the outer and underside of the seal. Then set the seal over its seating area. Using a 2-1/2 pipe CPVC conduit, tap the seal into place until fully seated. Once the seal is fully installed, clean up the extra RTV and that's it.

You’ll have two more steps than the 2wd. That’s removing the front driveshaft in the transfer case.

Should always check fitment of seal to torque converter for proper fitment

@TheMinuteMasters well I did a converter once didn't check how the seal wood fit the torque converter after all the work I did on it when I started the car had a massive leak after redoing everything turns out they sold me the wrong seal ever since that incident when ever I have to replace this particular seal I first check seal to torque for proper fitment before install never had that issue ever again

Thanks for the video, appreciate the info. Have you pulled it for a rebuild and if so have you done a video on that process?

I did a rebuild years and ago and filmed a two part series. It does to cover every little detail but it will get you through certain parts.
I hope the bushing in the front is good because if not it will take out the new seal as well.... But they may have fixed that design flaw by then.

The bushing should be good. I didn’t see anything out of place when I pulled the seal.
Most of the time it's the bushing behind the seal is what's causing the leak I have figured out the hard way to replace them both and not just the seal

I’ve heard that too. In my case, this seal was the culprit.
Isn’t there a large o-ring and flat surface gasket around the pump that also shrinks and leaks with age? Did you replace the o-ring? Experience says reseal everything with new once you have transmission out. My 2 cents.

You are correct. I didn’t change the gasket between the pump and the bell housing because I didn’t want to get that far into this repair. I also didn’t think it was leaking. This transmission needs to be rebuilt anyway.
When transmission pukes fluid ,,, I think the seal don’t stop to actually. I just change the pump and the torque

Thanks for the tip. As far as I could tell, the puking has stopped. So the seal definitely did the trick.
"Finished look"? is there going to be a nano-cam in there monitoring when running? Amazing. ;)

I know right! Lol I guess that’s the craftsman in me.
It looks like you have the channel side of the seal facing away from the transmission? I'm not a transmission expert, but I usually see the seal channel pointed toward the transmission.

I’m not an transmission expert either but that’s how these seals are installed. When I’m doubt, match existing.🤙
i notice the notches on the bushing are side-to-side. in the manual they are picture up-and-down.. do you know if that matters?

It would leak a good couple of ounces once I would park and truck and turn it off.

If you were looking to replace the torque converter seal shop may charge you between $700 and $1000. If you do it yourself, it’s just the cost of the part.👌
With that leaking Will your truck go forward

If you leak enough fluid, your transmission won’t function properly. However, just having a slow leak won’t cause issues.
is this the front or rear seal
