    Great video. One of the first things I do is get the engine trans warm with a quick drive. Then remove the filler bolt and drip stick right above the pan. With the fluid warm, I'll use my drill pump to suck out as much fluid as possible right into a catch pan. Then remove the pan with very little to no spilling of fluid. When time to refill I again use a drill pump to get the new fluid into the trans.

    Tip: Take a pair of zip ties and tie the gasket on both sides of the pan. This will make sure the gasket will stay in place. Once you have a few bolts in place, cut the zip ties and pull the off.

      For other applications, not necessarily automotive, I've seen people recommend things like a small dob of thick, pasty grease at strategic points and use that to stick the gasket to the spot it goes (in this case, stuck to the transmission housing), then put the pan or whatever back on so you don't have to worry about lining the bolt holes on both the gasket and the cover plate at the same time with the risk of damaging the gasket while doing so, but yours definitely seems the better suggestion here. Typically, as long as you don't go crazy with it, this is harmless to the gasket or to the fluid it's trying to seal against.

    7.5 quarts for drain & fill. Only use Motorcraft LV. Check level while running in park while level. When you first fill it, it will overflow at about 6 quarts, then start it up and put in another 1.5 quarts and check while running.

      @@briandesjardins728 You just have to get temp up to operating temp of over 190F before the valve opens and will let you flush all the fluid. So tell me this, do you think your Ford dealer drives your truck around to get it to that temp before they pull it in the garage and start the flush? Wishful thinking. They pull it right in after it has been parked outside all morning and immediately start a "flush" when it is about same temp as the outside.

I fabed a long tubed funnel n ran down from the wheel well behind the frame n into the trans. May have to add some after u drive. Keep the skid plate off til. I did all the fluids n those wonderful o-rings in the cooling system. Less than 300$ n my time n no problem just a little learning curve.

    With All Due Respect, You never mentioned the "Reusable Gasket" unless of course you're not a fan of them ? I only realized this after watching a few other videos on 6R80 Tranny Fluid,Filter & Gasket Change/Replacement. As for myself, I just learned something new as I never knew such a gasket existed & can be cleaned with just a cloth ( avoid chemical cleaners that could potentially ruin rubberized Bead & Breaks around Gasket) & then reused.

    Thank you for this great video. I wish I knew why Ford and possibly other manufacturers made transmission fluid change so difficult. No drain plug in the pan, no dipstick that doesn't require you be a contortionist. just seems crazy. My question is isn't there still old fluid in the lines somewhere when you do this change, doesn't anything else have to be flushed out?

      They make it difficult so you won’t ever change the fluid and have to buy a new tranny. It’s all about profit!

    • @chrisgraham2904
      @chrisgraham2904 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The 6L80 and 6L90 transmissions are designed to operate under an internal vacuum. This is the reason that the transmission is sealed without a dip stick access. Also, the reason that the fill port should be opened before the pan is loosened and removed. There is a third-party, after market dip stick assembly that can be installed, which seals the dipstick tube at the top of the tube in the engine bay. It sells for about $250 U.S. plus installation, so it's a lot of money to just be able to check the fluid level. A "drain & fill" fluid change only removed about 50% of the fluid from the transmission. Ford does not recommend that these transmissions ever be "flushed" of all the fluid. The tranny holds about 13 liters of oil, so you'll only be draining and refilling about 7 liters. The filter needs to be replaced at every fluid change. The pan gasket is designed to be reusable, so you shouldn't need to buy a new gasket, unless you somehow damaged it during removal of the pan or it previously showed signs of leakage. The final refill level should be checked with the engine hot, but the fill port is very close to the extremely hot catalytic converter, so proceed with caution. Transmission fluid change is a dirty and frustrating DIY job on the driveway, but fairly straight forward if the vehicle is lifted on a hoist, as the vehicle needs to be kept level during the process.

It was a fleet truck and fleet serviced and has 160K miles on it. Last filter/fluid was done at 118K. Cycled the shifter from R to D after service several times. The truck doesn't move in R or D. Double checked the dipstick and it show full. No warning lights on the dash either. Any help before I tow it to my local garage?

      Ford recommends that these transmission should NEVER be "flushed"...just "drain & fill". The tranny holds about 13 liters of fluid, but you'll only be draining and replacing about 7.5 liters. Fluid remains in the torque converter during the drain and it will mix with the new fluid during operation. So, your only really 50% cleaning the transmission, but you also have to do the filter at every change.

      And your suppose to open drain plug first thing to relieve pressure. 6r80s build pressure and you can reuse the gasket. Do not scrape the pan mating surface either. Anything outside where gasket meets doesn't hurt seal. Merton lv . They got a lot of things wrong

    2carpros you indicated the fluids needs to be exactly between A and B, but what is the temperature of the fluid at the time its between A and B because in arizona which its like 100+ degree upon start the truck its already hot and canada its about 70 degree less.fluid temperature plays big rule between A and B

    • @michaelgabriel2998
      @michaelgabriel2998 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      that's your normal operating temp then. It won't be as big a difference as the engine still runs warm no matter where you are. internal COMBUSTION means fire so it'll be hot but normal.

      If the torque converter has a drain plug then yes. It holds about as much as the pan itself, so that's a lot of old fluid in there. I'm about to do mine, and I cross my fingers that there is a drain plug so I don't end up wasting a lot of new fluid to flush out the old.

      The answer is it depends. If you're transmission is running normal without any slipping, lagging, or kicking during gear changes then it will not hurt it. But if you experience any of that, then changing the fluid will shorten the life of the clutch or other parts that have been getting by because of the particles floating in the old fluid.
