- Ford Mondeo Mk4, Manual Gearbox Oil Change.
There is no requirement to replace the gearbox oil on a manual ford mondeo transmittion but showing here how you can replace the gearbox oil if required. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
At 100k, mine was changed and made a big difference during the winter.
Tip to the newbies, loosen the filler plug before draining the oil. If you can't get it undone, don't drain the oil!
Fill it through the breather or driveshaft hole.
I was looking for this comment.
I made that mistake 😂
Did you put the car on jack stands?
@@coolissimo69 I used a scissor lift. Jack stands would be needed it you only have one jack.
Great videos alan don't stop doing them ;)
Thanks mate i look forward to the power steering fluid change video!👍
Couldn't be arsed watching this vid.... But I did any way... Great as always pal 👍 keep it up
Omg, I really like your style of presenting information!!!
cheers
Das half mir sehr Danke. War nicht langweilig sondern wichtig
Great video thanks you’re a great presenter!
Wow , I'm amazed at the speed you made that happen ! 😲
Thanks very much appreciated 👍
😊 top man
lol
@@alan4x ,Hi Alan, thanks for the great video, i juat got mondeo estate titanium x 2012 6 spead manual 140 hp 2 liter disel 136k on clock oil is it use the same oil ?? On your video on it was 2007-2011 ?
This is the facelift one so is any difference between gearboxes and engine?
Thank you
:-) very nice presentation and very informative. Thank you. i think my MK4 is leaking the oil so i need to check it and probably top it up.
Brilliant thats a job for the weekend thanks.
Thank you, excellent video!
Nice one Alan. Thats what I meeded👍
Perhaps you have a gear box lower mount to replace on one of your mondeos😀. Ill be more than happy to watch how to video😄
Thanks a lot mate👍✨
May be boring video but what people needed. Thank you 😊
☺️
Good videos keep them coming 🚕🚕
God morgen Alan, tusen takk for den videoen 👍👏👏
Good job mate, you're doing bloody good videos (I've seen most of them).
cheers
@@alan4x Does the mk5 mondeo have the same 6 speed manual box?
@@AJ-tj7jm yes its pretty much the same gearbox
Perfect video, thanks!
How much NM to tight the bolts?
At 120k miles on my mk4 still waiting for the dreaded flywheel problem to rear its head, just away to change the timing belt.. Which I really should have done by now.. Thanks for all the videos... really really helpful
I thought it had a chain.
@@GymChess No, that's the MK3 petrol.
Nice video. I just did this job yesterday after lots of swearing at the extremely tight bolts! The oil that came out was thick and black compared to the nice golden new stuff but I kinda expected that after covering 176k. Gear changes feel so much better.
Did you do it with Jack stands ?
Not entirely related, but I've read of owners having to struggle with 1st gear, even after warm-up. It was my issue also, I go trough some city driving during my drive to work and select 1st gear 6 million times. Every now and then it would only go half way intro gear, and had to force it with a second try or double clutch. However, changing the gearbox oil has fixed the cold stiffness for 1st and reverse, but would still refuse randomly to get into 1st. I would pull the leaver to the left, and hold it left while pushing up. Seems I was a bit wrong. In my case at least, I have to pull it left and then just push it up and let it sort of find it's own way, it's still on left side obviously, but not forced max to the left while pushing up. Also pressing the clutch more determined helps. Never missed a 1st gear since :) It almost goes into 1st on it's own, it's that smooth. The car is new to me, apparently it did not like my style from ex cars.
It maybe boring to you but funny and very informative to us Alan lol 😆 Keep doing the videos thanks Stevie 😁
cheers
Thank you for this video!! I just changed the gerbox oil on my 2.0 TDCI 09 Mondeo MK4 with an MMT6 manual gearbox at 261k km. I put some Castrol Syntrans 75W FE and it made a huge difference, especially when shifting into frist or reverse when the engine is cold.
Keep going!
Exactly my problem. Got a 2.0 tdci with 170.000km, but really don't like first gear or reverse first thing in the morning. Specially reverse. Once I get it into first once, it's all good, and all gears ar fine and positiv. Will be changing the oil and hope it's better after.
Hi Alan I watch and learn from your channel every day because I own a mondeo 2.0lt diesel I have just bought it a few weeks ago I have found oil on top of the gearbox it has regards David filled the recesses up it is near the selectors underneath them is a plate with 4 bolts in it I was wondering is there a gasket under the plate?? regards David
Definitely easier than the Powershift to do. But my Powershift video is a good money maker 😂 Cheers
Hi Alan, very interesting video for me, because I just bought Ford Mondeo mk5 with 1.5 tdci duratorq engine with manual gearbox. So my question - Does mk5 manual gearbox have same construction as mk4 gearbox for the oil replacement? Thank you 😊
Bravo Bravisimo
Sir one question
Is this video available for a ford focus mk3
1.6 tdci 6 speed manual gearbox??
Oh yeah, one to keep in mind. See yah..! 👍😁
Hello Alan, I`v got the gearbox out of my 2009 Mondeo (304" km) and I have a leak on the oilseal for the gearbox axel. Can I change this from the outside? I have changed the oilseals for the driveshafts but for me it looks like that the oilseal for the axel is mounted from the inside of the gearbox.
Manufacturer of Ford gearbox MMT6 is "Getrag" and it got service interval on it ;)
Hello, Alan! I bought 07 mk4 Mondeo, but it came out that the previous owner changed the clutch kit with Single mass flywheel and horrible things happened... I want to know now - Can I install a 6 speed transmission with the clutch and flywheel from 2.0TDCi to my 1.8TDCi?
Hi I need your help I wanna know where can i Find the ESP module and connecting plug in my ford mondeo mk4 2010 saloon 1.6 TI
What is the most common leak on the MTX75 bellhousing? Rear main seal or main shaft seal?
Changed mine at 170.000km. It was nearly impossible to get in reverse first thing in the morning, also hard in 1st gear when cold. Obviously garages would blame synchro and told me I'll change the oil for nothing. Did it anyway as I'm not a mechanic, but I can feel a stiff shift due to the oil and not synchro or clutch. It now goes in reverse and 1st in the morning like a charm, perfect every time. And the rest of the gears had gotten a bit smoother.
your right, its worth doing the oil first and good result
Nice funny video again ... good info 👍👍👍
Recently changed the gear oil in my 2.2 mk4 was expecting it to look worse than it did after 173k lol, M66 box in these same as focus RS
How much oil goes on gearbox,and wich SAE?
Does ib5 gearboxes use also 75w FE, sometimes I see they use 75w90? Also does ib5 box on Fords has filler and drain hole?
Hi Alan I've got a 56 plate mondeo mk3 ST 2.2 TDCI. It's got a noisy thurst bearing on the clutch but bite point is still good. Worth changing dmf as well and gearbox oil. On 131,000 mlies. Many thanks Russ
hi, yes, for the time and work to remove the gearbox it would be well worth replacing the dmf and complete clutch kit plus gear oil
@Alan Howatt, what are the torque settings for the drain and fill plugs?
What about on the 2.0 Petrol Duratec? There only seems to be one plug
Is there a gearbox oil filter to change on the Mk5 2.0 manual?
is there a sealing washer to replace?
Subscribed, thanks so much for the video.. has anyone had trouble with Mondeo 2011 2.0 Tdci undercarriage scraping on speed bumps, I've lost a few mud flaps too .. driving really carefully also.
thanks for the sub😀
Hey Alan, great videos very informative! I have a mk4 mondeo 2.0tdci and when I change gear while driving im hearing a bit of clunking, is this normal I have never really noticed?
might be best to have it looked at
Hey Alan, have you ever done this on the Mk5 manual gearbox?
Is it similar to this? Tnx :)
which oil do you use ford mondeo mk3 2005 2.2 tdci?
hi allan cracking video many thanks, im about to attempt the timing belt change and i have a quick question could i get away with not locking the flywheel , as starter motor will be a pig to get out, and just mark up crankshaft position with tipex on crank and belt and engine and obviously pin the cam shaft, also mark up the cam shaft, thanks again for all your help with this content
hi, if it is a mk4 2litre diesel you want to change the belt on you would need to paint mark the flywheel to the casing....the crank pulley bolt can be very tight as it may have a lot of thread lock on it and i would advise using an air gun to remove the bolt...you don't need to remove the starter to pin the crank.. i have a vid here that shows how..th-cam.com/video/OWkTJToMW1M/w-d-xo.html
@@alan4x many thanks alan and keep the good videos coming, they are much appreciated
Alan, been a long time watcher of your videos. Funny at time and informative too, great work. Can I ask does an oil change make much difference to the manual shift. Just asking cos our MK4 Mondeo is having issues, normally 1st and reverse gear are difficult to impossible to engage with engine running, but engine off...gears select fine. Odd?!? Tried to adjust gear linkage to be no help, any tips.
the oil in these gearboxes can get quite black and degraded so is worth changing ...i have found often that first and reverse are hard to get when the clutch plate is worn
Is this the same on a 2013 kuga ?
Hey alan thanks for another helpfull video any chance u could do a video on how to change the power steering fluid on the mk4 mondeo? I went to to up mine yesterday got the fluid from ford when i opened it i noticed it is green and the fluid in my car is red somebody obviously has put the wrong fluid in!
yes the fluid should be green....red is the wrong fluid..green fluid is hydraulic fluid for your car...i have been meaning to cover this when i get the chance
Alan Howatt hi Alan mine and my dads mondeos have the red fluid in it I’ve seen on the ford forums it should be green what’s the difference as the steering feels like a dick in a welly at the mo btw love your videos very helpful and interesting to watch many thanks
brilliant video 😎
you look like Simon pegg 🤣
I'm looking for a video of gearstick repair,it's floppy
and hard to select correct gear 😱
Brilliant, Boring vid made exciting 😂thanks Alan actually very helpful content.
Is it the same way in a 1.8L ?
I've seen other guys talking about filters. Do these not have them? Thanks man great video, very helpful
these manual gearboxes do not have filters in them
@@alan4x thanks for the reply mate. I've learned a lot from watching your vids, saved a fortune 👍
how many liters do i need ?
always undo the fill before emptying... just incase you cant get the fill undone...
Exactly.
Alan is it worth putting some slick 50 in with new oil. My mk4 petrol has done 125k and it changes gear well enough.
i would just put new oil in
Have you ever stripped one of the 2l tdci 6 speed manual gearboxs dow to replace bearings or damaged gears?
yes quite a few times we take those gearboxes apart
Allen
It's a job that should be done has the gears need good oil to run through or u would get crunching sounds and it would be hard to change gear so my answer do u need to change gear box oil is yes of course you do
Phil in stoke
Would suggest removing the filler bung first to make sure it comes undone without issue. Last thing you want to do is drain and not be able to refill. 😁
If I hear that some automotive fluids are "lifetime" I would like to know is this the "lifetime" of the car or part where that fluid was used, or it's the owner's "lifetime".
I would change it, Definitely worth doing. Gear oil is subject to shear damage in use, meaning that its viscosity will tend to drift out of specification, particularly when hot. Many vehicles have magnetic drain plugs - there will be a surprising amount of metallic swarf from the synchro rings accumulated here so change it.
Great point!
@@alan4x Thank's Alan,watch all your vids with great interest you are one shit hot mechanic. I was always was told in my apprentice years by an old timer teacher that the best mechanic and friend an engine can have is a regular oil change with good quality oil. People say i'm over the top with my oil changes. Oil every 3000 miles Filter every 6000 miles. Anyway give vmy love to those gorgeous office girls you work with.
But very helpful :) thanks.
cheers
i need to know how to do this in a manual mondeo mk3 tdci 2006 :(
Hi. Completely off the subject of this video. I have a 1.8 tdci on a 57 plate. Has a intermittent problem of cutting out and restarting itself. Put on diagnostics and came up with a abs module fault. However the esp light comes on and stays on after cutting out and restarting. Would this point to a faulty esp module. Any advice
it is difficult to say.... some engine management faults will cause abs/esp light to come on...on the 1.8tdci if it is intermittent just wriggle the wires that go onto the fuel rail pressure sensor as have had a few bad wiring terminals on them
Hi Alan, I have a Mk5 2.0 TDCI manual and I asked my mechanic to give the gearbox an oil change but he said later that he couldn’t do it as he needed a special tool? Do you know what that tool is by any chance? Thanks Bob, by the way Love your videos mate 😉
No special tools needed to replace gearbox oil. Just an Allen key to remove the drain and filler bungs and a hand oil pump to squirt the new oil into the gearbox
encountered this problem the same day. This level, authorized by the service, is sufficient, but the reduced oil bothered me a lot. Why didn't I add back the oil I lost, I'm so angry at myself.
Hello Alan, I have lowered the manual transmission (about 300 ml), which is a little above this level, to this level. but my 2nd and 3rd gear shifts are extremely difficult. Is it possible to go above this level? If I add as much oil as I drain, what is the probability of solving this problem ?
hi, if your transmission oil has never been replaced then it would probably be worth changing it which may help with your tight gear change ...lowering or raising the oil level will not help and with the tight 2nd and 3rd gears could be a problem with your gear change cables, selector mechanism in your gearbox or the synchro hubs attached to the gears
@@alan4x Hello Alan, I left the vehicle at the service today and told them to fill half (500 ml) of 1 liter of oil. I will post the result here in a few days.
How much oil did you pour in?
I had 1900ml and there wasn't enough to overfill plug hole.
Was your car leveled?
@@Lonewolf_rider Good question. I think front was slightly higher. Anyway I added 250ml when car was leveled. No difference with gear shifting at all. On cold bit slow but not bad.
Is there any sealing ring/teflon to be used when re-installing the drain/ fill plug?
no, there is a tiny o ring on the drain and filler bungs
@@alan4x great thanks, do these need to be changed? Love your videos you're a big help for us Mondeo owners
@@BlakeCDS no just put the bung in dry, the o ring will make the seal
Alan is it the same for the 1.8 tdci ? Please
hi andy, if the oil filler hole is not where it is in this video then it will be on the front of the gearbox but you would fill it up the same
Hi Alan, could you do a part about mondeo mk4 tdci, why engine cut off hard not smoothly, please? Your all movies are the most pro about ford cars just mondeo and engines tdci. All the best for you.Zibi
hi...not sure what you mean by engine cut off hard and not smooth
@@alan4x I mean, when i turn off engine it should turn off smoothly, not like an old diesel.my engine turn off hard like without throttle cut out(if i called good this part).i checked EGR no dtc, i checked throttle its work fine. I checked injector, all fine.but effext is like old diesel turned off engine.all my motir mount has been already changed.also 2 selenoid changend one turbi secend to throttle. No loose vaccum.
I have Alan effect like on this movie.th-cam.com/video/0dkiu97b_YM/w-d-xo.html but there is a dtc and broken throttle.my works . I wached all your movies and i didnt fine answare.i belive that you will find ex. for movie
Plastic gears in throttle body wear out, I put a new complete throttle body in my 2.2 mk4
Is this the same transmission as the one in the petrol 2.0 engine vehicles?
it may look similar but it won't be, the gearing will be different as this is off a diesel engine and the bell housing bolts will be different to a petrol engine
@@alan4x Thank you Alan, love your videos and sense of humour. Cheers from Sweden 👌🏻
Hi Alan is the Mk5 Mondeo the same?
hi yes the mk5 is the same
Alan can i put in COMMA manual gear 75W GL4 oil in Mondeo Mk4 2009?
Thank you ;)
yes that would be fine..its usually 75w/90
@@alan4x seee yaaaaa
You are the best i watch all your wideoes.
Is it the same 1.7 ltrs in the mk5. Cogbox looks similiar
yes it is about the same
@@alan4x cheers alan 👍
👍👍👍
does this really need to be ford specific oil?? was considering buyings some febi stuff as its £11 a ltr
no its perfectly fine to use equivalent oil like febi
@@alan4x Perfect Alan, I have another question for you regarding this engine. its had a new clutch fitted and sometimes I feel a pulse through the clutch pedal bit like a rusty spring feeling could this be that whoever did the clutch didnt top it up with oil?
Ta alan! Job for today sorted any way of sending you some beer tokens ?
lol.. i hear the pubs are staying closed till xmas😫
Alan Howatt yer it’s going to kill our trade right off! Love the videos
I totally disagree , this was not a boring video.
Is it the same for the 1.8 tdci 125bhp?
Did you get an answer to this question. I have same car and engine
omg it's Simon pegg 🤣
Hi Alan, Would you please do video on Mk5 2.0 diesel manual gear box oil change - just another boring video to watch :)
Eh eh bunghole eh eh eh...
Never ever open a drain plug on anything until you’re 100% you’re able to undo the filter plug first!!! This advice applies to stupid people like me not real mechanics… you’re welcome
