Everyday Mechanic and Fabrication is a channel for DIY mechanics. We know there is a lot of highly trained shops out there but we just love to do our own work when possible. Here we share our knowledge and experience to help you do your own work if you desire. Please know that we are not multi million dollar shop people but have years of experience from building Asphalt races cars, Engines, Transmissions and chassis set up to just everyday automotive stuff. We would prefer to build it with our own hands than pay someone else to do it for us. There may be better ways to do stuff but the videos we make are showing how we do it and gladly welcome you advice on how we could do it better(we may even use it to update a video and give you the credit).
2017 Ford Fusion Shift SYS Fault - FORD WON"T COVER UNDER WARRANTY!!!
My 2017 Ford Fusion got the Shift SYS Fault and Ford has these under recall for the 2016 and earlier. However they will not cover the 2017 model with the exact same issue. I purchased the part on Amazon because none of the Ford dealers in North Georgia had it in stock. Here is the link for the part I purchased and it was just over $20.
www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1B4NZ9D?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
The part number for the bushing is DG9Z-7K340-A
The part number for the Cap is DG9Z-7S004-A
You can search the bushing part number and the kit will come up with both parts included.
If this happens to you out and about you can always push the linkage down onto the shift lever and it should shift the car at least once. I did this in the field so the car could be driven home and avoid the towing. Please be careful if you get the car home or to a shop that it shifts into park!!! If the car does not shift into park it could roll away, hence the need for the recall in the first place. Be sure to set the emergency brake just in case it may not have shifted into park. Male sure the transmission is in park before making the repair so the linkage is aligned correctly to put back together.

1998 Ford Ranger 4R44E Transmission reassembly
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I show you how to assemble the main case of a 1998 Ford Ranger 4R44E Transmission. The transmission is out of a 2wd truck so it has the standard tail cone. I use the ATSG documentation for the torque specs of the assembly.

2015 Kia Sedona RR Wheel Bearing Replacement
มุมมอง 3.2Kปีที่แล้ว
The owner was getting code C1210 (Right rear wheel speed sensor signal). These units have a sensor pick up that is part of the wheel hub assembly. In order to replace the pick up it requires the whole hub assembly to be replaced. As seen in the video my camera guy is also a great chef and we are starting a channel for food so go check it out and let him know what you want to see us make. th-cam...

Thank you ! Did my 2016 fusion today with help from this video step by step made it super easy !!
Beautifully done my friend 🫡
still helpful, clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks for the great info
Great job it did help me out
How hard the calipers to replace in these cars
Quick question: I just bought a 99 ranger real cheap with 2.5 and 4r44e and it doesn't wanna shift out of first till I either let off the gas or shift it manually into 2nd then as long as I don't give it too much gas it will shift through the rest of the gears. If I throttle up to much it'll shift back into 1st. The fluid is slightly over full but I don't see any other issues. Possibly a shift solenoid?
Loved the video, excellent and to the point. Could you summarize the torque settings in the video descriptions? Other than that excellent video!
Having this problem i have a 2017 ford fusion & i need it back on the road in 2 days
Will the 2016 fit in a 2017 bushing for shift because i cant find any for 2017
I just did this fix yesterday, removed the battery cable and that air cleaner top. I put the plastic part on the shift lever pin, then used a small socket and a foot long extension beside the hose, and tapped the fitting down with the extension till it was seated on the bushing. I used a good grease to make seating easier. The orange part looks better, but I got 85K from the original fitting.
I have the same transmission, I have all gears except reverse, could it be something simple or will it require a tear down?
Reverse requires higher pressure than most drive gears. It could be low pressure from pump, valve body issue causing low pressure to reverse. I would start with pressure check. Often this scenario is valve body related.
I appreciate education.
You've convinced me not to make the attempt. My Patriot was less involved. I'll gladly pay someone.
@EMaF_DIY - Can I do the adjustment without removing the transmission?
Yes it can be done in the truck.
@@EMaF_DIY Thanks for confirming
@@EMaF_DIY My 98 Ranger 2.5L RWD gives a light jolt / bump during upshift from 1-2 and 2-3. I am hoping only the bands need to be adjusted. Could it possibly be bad solenoids / valve body ? Vehicle has 94K miles now
Amazing, 6 year old car and no corrosion on brake and suspension components.
Thanks. The size was 10mm. I have a 2.7
When I went to take the backside screws out with the 7mm nothing caught. Am I missing something?
The guide pins are 7mm hex/Allen. If the 7mm slips it may have been rounded out from previous work. If this is the case it would be best to take to mechanic to get them removed and new ones installed.
Where ur videos on vale body on 95 Ford ranger
The one I made was corrupted and we haven't filmed another one yet. Maybe this fall we will do another one to do.
Clearly the best
Thanks for taking the time to make a video. Very helpful, appreciate your efforts
Glad it was helpful!
According to a few other forums who have loaded up the Ford Manual page, it lists the torque at 10 LBS or 14 Newton something (metric). Thanks for the video!
I go 10 lbs torque and then back off 2 complete turns
Watching your video has been a serious help, keep them coming! A question, 1995 4r44e behind a 3.0 V6. It has a 5 clutch forward clutch drum. top 3 clutches were worn out not steel to steel cross hatch on a couple side was gone and friction base and adjacent steels were pretty much burnt Truck lost all forward gears. Is the 6 clutch forward clutch drum from the 4r55e a possible upgrade? Oh and in middle of taking forward clutch drum it rolled of table and cracked hub so I have to get a new hub anyway just wondering if 6 clutch hub is an option?
Just had this happen to me the other day. I had the car towed to the dealership for repair. My Fusion is a 2018.
Customer complained about vibrations and noice from a fairly new brake job. You only changed the pads and rotors. You did not clean the hub nor cleaned the caliper sliding pins? Customer will have the same problem in like 2-3 months….
This will be my last combustion engine car at this point
Excellent instruction and suitable for those individuals who already have basic mechanic's skills. Thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you made the job alot easier!!!!
Glad it helped!
Are you still planning on doing a rebuild of this transmission? Got one of my own and would like to see someone who knows what they are doing rebuild one.
I filmed this one but the footage was corrupt and lost. Will be doing another one in a couple months and will film that one.
Camera men did great job.thx men
I have a question about my 2011 Ford Ranger Transmission. (2WD Automatic) It was supposed have been replaced about 2 1/2 years ago and was working fine until last year when a problem started occurring. when leaving to go somewhere the transmission would go into drive fine, however after going a short distance of a few blocks and usually when coming to a stoplight, when I go to accelerate from the stop the transmission lose drive gear, after stopping and shifting into park, or reverse it eventually will engage again and go on shifting normally. A couple times it did continue to slip. However it typically would return to normal operation without further problems. I found the problem seemed to be less frequent during the hot Phoenix summer. I checked the fluid level and it was ok. I found more increasingly lately I would lose drive when entering the freeway during acceleration and have avoided driving on the freeway completely. The problem has became very frequent when leaving for the past few months but typically goes away after the initial loss of drive which will "Engage' after a few seconds or longer and no longer slip or act up and operate normally. Today while driving close by after and during rain and cooler temps that Drive completely failed after stopping a couple places a block away and then refueling. Reverse also would not engage completely and slipped, but D1 and D2 worked ok and I did make it home. I tried several time to go and try it in Drive and Reverse, and drove around the mobile home park to see if things would return to normal, but it continues to slip badly. It did flash the O/D light during these tests which from my research indicated slippage after 3 attempts. I tried adding additional fluid but the problem continued. Tonight I let it run idling in park for about 20 minutes. When I tried it again it seemed to work as normal without slippage, however I did not take it out on the street, only at slower speed around the park where it did shift from 1st to 2nd fine and had no apparent slippage. Last year I did remove the equivalent of a bottle of Lucus Transmission Treatment worth of transmission fluid drawn from the Dipstick Tube, and added the Lucus treatment hoping to resolve the issues, which did seem to help, but may have been due to operating at hotter temps during the summer. Do you have any suggestions? Would a fluid & filter change be advised? I would guess I have about 30K miles on the "Replaced Transmission" and everything operated normal for over a year until the problems stated occurring. The fluid I removed looked good, not dark or contaminated. Do these symptoms indicate a problem with transmission electronic controls/computer module or shift solenoids? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried finding videos on this ford automatic transmission with similar issues with no luck. It's odd that the transmission fails like this after just driving less than a block or a few blocks and stopping, not able to engage in drive when starting forward acceleration again, then within a few seconds or sometime after rolling to place to pull over then stopping, trying shifting to park, reverse etc.. then it will engage and operate normally with no slippage. I just found today that D1& D2 worked when Drive and Reverse would slip badly with almost no engagement, just slight forward and backward movement respectively. I did not rev the motor excessively as to not do damage, or have a "Hard Engagement" and break something.
Having this problem myself, going to check this part when I get home from work, wish me luck.
thinking of changing my own breaks. this helps alot. out where i am there is no service that can service my American Ford Fusion. the American standard for repair is crazy different that it is here in Europe. (in the EU theres a special document for all eu spec cards that has all the part codes for everything, without one a mechanic will not touch the vehicle. not even an official dealer.)
Yea in the US there is very little regulation for automotive repair especially if you repair your own vehicle.
how can you just it when your transmission is on your car
Most cars can be jacked up and get to the band adjusters on the side. These Ford Rangers fit that category. It's the same process of loosening the nuts and torque the adjuster. Once torqued I'd make a mark on the adjuster to be able to count the back turns(silver sharpie usually works well). Then tighten the nut same as in video. If you run out of threads on the adjuster, the band may be worn too far and need a rebuild anyways so be sure to not adjust beyond threads for nut.
first of all, when you put in a new rotor, you need to lubricate the hub assembly to prevent burning rotor to it. so this video is a little mess for me
Great explanation. I'm thinking of changing my brakes myself. It seems pretty straight forward. Ive done very light self maintenance on cars before, would you say this is something a novice can do without much fuss? Also, are there places that loan a tool? I dont have a piston presser or a torque bar.
I think a novice can do the work, but maybe have someone with skills double check or help. It's just a safety risk if not done correctly. Ad for loaner tools, most part stores do a loaner tool program. You actually pay for the tool when you get it, then they give full refund when you return it back. However the tool can be purchased at Harbor Freight for $39. Here is link to the one I use in video. www.harborfreight.com/disc-brake-pad-and-caliper-service-tool-kit-11-piece-63264.html
@@EMaF_DIY Just did it today and was successful! Thank you for the step by step, it was VERY helpful
That's awesome to hear and the main reason I started making these videos. @@jeffreyavalos782
Does front replacement need maintenance mode on?
No
No just rears
Great video
Thanks!
Great video! It helped a lot, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Do you have to decompress?
Yes, that's what the Maddox brake tool kit is for or you can use c-clamps like old school. I prefer the brake tool as it is easier and insures the caliper goes straight.
Great video!
Thanks!
Great work! Best explanation I've seen yet!
Wow, thanks!
Very good video ,, this is what im looking for i have kia sedona 2015 sxl
We share the road with these people and that’s terrifying
So they drove it in like that? Impressive, you know in a bad way. Sorta like watching someone oversteer into a wall
Ok I get that's terrible and all but the real question is, did they drive it in, or was it towed?
WILL THAT FIXTURE WORK WITH A C4 TRANSMISSION
It should have no issue with the Ford C4. I actually found it on Amazon and this is the link. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XHGLR8L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
Great Video! Very informative
For some reason I can't leave a comment ... So I'll leave it here ... I watched the video and had success replacing both LR and RR bearings ... Thank you for the details
