- Part 2 of 2. This is the process I use to remove a V6 3.0 engine from a early Mazda Tribute / Ford Escape. I have done this at home without a hoist and a good set of basic mechanics tools.

My mums car died, the exact car as shown. It became my project, and with no knowledge of cars I had no clue what to do. But now I've found these videos, im going to do it. Thanks mate
Awesome. Let me know if you run into any difficulties and I will to to help out.
What an amazing video. Clear, concise, and right to the point. Honestly couldn't have found a better step by step on this engine. Right on brotha.
I'd be screwed if I didn't have this video to go by and this video actually was the defining factor for me to do the engine swap!
Mate I have been looking for this video for so long, thanks for that final little bit of help I needed 👍👍👍
No problem 👍
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
My pleasure!
Thanks very much for showing us that great bit of filming. I would liked to have seen a video on removing the starter motor and replacing it.
Thanks for the comment, from memory the starters on this are positioned on the upper of the engine under the throttle body, with coolant pipes in the way, and can be a frustrating swap. I hope the replacement goes well. Cheers
Great job!!! Gearing up to do one myself. I like your way better than fighting it to come out of the top. I have a couple off them so I have to learn the ins and outs of them!!!. Have a good day, from the USA!!!
They are a heavy assembly so dropping it onto a heavy duty board with wheels will really help out. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you for posting these videos. Very helpful.
No problems and feel free to ask questions.
And yes, I have watched the second part. Thanks, mate!
Your a champion!!
Thanks for sharing, I also have one if these cars and it’s in pretty good nic but the engine is a little tired so great to see I could do this in my garage if needed. Cheers
If you need any advice, just ask.
Thanks mate
Thank you very much, motor on my escape is knocking like a diesel. Will be using your video as a guide and will report back upon completion!
this is incredibly useful thank you very much for sharing!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comment
I've swapped a few engines in my day. but always from the top sometimes leaving the trans behind. watching this video it seems less pain staking to drop the whole K member assy. and will try that on my 06 escape. thanks again
I mix it up, some are easy out the top some are easier dropping down. Have fun whatever method you use. If you drop it down have something that it can move on easy to slide out or get a second person to help.
Thank you so much, very well done video Saved me a lot of time
No problem, glad it will help you out. Let me know how it goes.
I found it very informative
That makes sense when I was underneath this 2013 ford escape I knew the subframe had to come out with it man it's a lot of work for a noob like myself at least 😤😅
With a good range of tools and plenty of time anyone can do it
@@killawattgarage thanks man I appreciate it
Hi thanks .my question is .can we swipe a Ford escape V6 engine with V 4 engine
Great job, I have a 2010 Ford Escape 2.5L that I will be attempting this on. It looks like you had to get the car up fairly high in the air on the front jackstands. Any idea how high? I am wondering if my jack stands are able to get high enough.
I had adjustable stands with 480mm max height
I have to remove a gearbox on my tribute, do you think dropping the box and motor together is easier than splitting the two in situ? I have a hoist in my garage also.
To split the engine and transmission you will need to remove the transfer box to gain access to all the bolts. This means that the both drive shafts will need to come out and the exhaust manifold flanges, which can be a pain. But if you have a hoist and a transmission jack/stand then just the transmission would be my choice (the transmission is quite heavy). Let me know how it goes and thanks for the comment.
Overall great video. Wished you would have done another one for putting it back in :-)
Next time!
Any tricks to getting the subframe to line up and bolt back in? I just removed mine and will be putting it back in soon. I noticed the assembly is quite rear heavy lifting from the suggested points. Also worried about lining up the steering column linkage as i bring it back up. Any suggestions apperciated!
@@jgoeke1 have a look at 8:11 and use these bolts to line it back up. Go slow and remember the steering column.........it does go back it pretty easy.
@@killawattgarage will do, thanks again for all the help!
Thanks for posting! I just purchased a used 2003 with a spun #1 cylinder rod bearing. Removal doesn't look that difficult.
Its not too bad. Let me know how you go.
@@killawattgarage Salvage engines listed on Ebay are normally listed as 2001-2004, 2005-2007, 2008-2011 for the V6 3.0L All list the eight digit of the VIN as "1". Will a later model (2005 +) engine with a VIN of "1" fit in a 2003? The only difference I've see from researching the internet is that the 2008-2011 engines got a horsepower boost from 200 to 246. If the later model engine won't fit, what did the engineer's change?
Thanks!
Mark
@@superk4562 Mechanically I believe the engine are very similar but looking things up there were revisions across the years. To avoid any hiccups aim to get a salvage engine from the same group of years.
How long did it take you in total to remove and replace?
great videos, anyone know of a 6 speed transmission that i can mate with a 2006 ford escape with an easy swap installation?
I think many people would like to know that as sooo many of the transmissions end up failing.
I liked everything except the part about being back on the road later that day...I'm going on day 3 and probably still 2 days out from being driveable.
I've done everything besides link pin bolts, exhaust and driveshaft they're all seized, any way to break them? Have just applied wd40
I broke an exhaust stud during filming this video and have done it plenty of other times too. Make sure you use a 6 point socket and if needed a breaker bar. If you access to a blow torch, heat it up as well. If the link pin nuts won't came off and you use can't use the torx fitting in the head of the stud to lock it in place then unbolt the strut from within the engine bay and remove them as well. Haven't ever had issue with the driveshaft, but you could try undoing it at the other end and removing the complete shaft with the engine and transmission.
Let me know how it goes??
Can the v6 be got out from the top?
I have a question
I have an 03 ford escape and i need to replace the rack and pinion im from canada so just curious how i might go around to do that ?
The Engine can be supported and the front subframe is dropped out. The rack can now be replaced. There will be a bit of overlap with that task and this video.
Thank you for posting the video..so much help...When removing the engine do you put it in neutral
Once the shift linkage is out it will make no difference. So either way is fine
So do you need an extra hand lining up the steering shaft on the way back together? I'm starting tomorrow,you made it look easier than pulling just the engine out the top for sure
Extra hands and eyes to line it up will really help out. It can be done alone just a lot slower with lots of checks as you go.
@@killawattgarage hey thanks man, I tell you what, fords are not fun to replace engines in
What cherry picker were you using that had such long legs to set the engine on?
I am in Australia and it’s just cheapie from a supplier called super cheap auto. Pretty standard setup.
Where is the engine number of mazda tribute 3.0 located?
My ford escape I was modifying a mazda tidbit and can't starte
Thanks for the question but I am not sure what you are asking?
Any chance of doing head gaskets on a 05 Escape without pulling the engine?
Front head would be easy, rear head would be a pain but doable.
@@killawattgarage Sounds like it would be easier leaving it in rather than dropping the engine, thanks for the quick reply!
Can engine for Mazda Tribute fit in ford escape...2005 .?
Yes
Now how do I put it back in? Lol but really though transfer case cracked as I was putting it on. :(
Tell me more, did you crack the case??
@@killawattgarage I did too. Apparently, you have to put the torque converter slid onto the transmission side then conect them, them tighten the 4 bolts one at a time through the starter motor's hole.
That's the hard way. Disco wiring , fuel , coolant , hvac , unbolt the subframe , lift body . 30 mins and your done
Totally agree but was doing this without a lift. Thanks for the comment.
Now how do I put it back in? Lol but really though transfer case cracked as I was putting it on. :(
Alrighty. I'll let you know know how it works mate.
awesome, will help if I can
@@killawattgarage I stupidly removed the stabilizer bar and need to adjust it correctly now :( my horn and cruise control don't work either.
@@killawattgarage other than that, your instructions worked beautifully!
Hi is it the same for a 2015 escape
Very different
@@killawattgarage Thank you ,so can you show a video or tell me how to do it please thanks
@@johnanderson6135 If I had a 2015 escape on hand that needed an engine I would happily film it but unfortunately I don't. It really depends if you will be using a lift or not.
@@killawattgarage well no I was doing it in my garage like you
@@johnanderson6135 It will pretty much be the same general process of dropping the engine and subframe out from underneath. Can't recall removing an engine from a 2015 escape but its always similar.

thanks for the comment
Anyone want to change one out for me?
Where plp having meeting tonight
What a pity its called "Early". We need mental telepathy to know what years this refers to. Across TH-cam, these engine swap vidos all seem to omit years. Then there is no shot or video of the front of the car, nor is there a link to that "first video" which is difficult to find on youtube. This might be clear and consise to those who already know what years it refers to, of course it makes you feel like an idiot
that you don't know what is taken for granted you know here.
So no, its not clear and consise , it a great video if you already know this vehicle and probably need to see this video either.
This video misses all the basics that or course, you are meant to be a bloody mind reader.
Just how high off the ground do you need to get the car?
What is the height of the engine sitting on the ground.
Just how much does it weigh?
Lots of missing essential info for this job.
