- How To Remove Classic Ford Automatic Transmission Episode 439 Autorestomod
We are pulling out the Ford C4 Transmission from the 1969 Fairlane station wagon. The tips we show apply to any Classic Ford automoatic Transmission. Ford Fairlane Torino Mercury Montego Comet Transmissions are heavy, but not as bad as the AOD’s We show tips on cribbing. We give how to instructions for making a Torque converter stop.

We tackle the next step in the 4R70W install by removing the C4 automatic transmission.
Be sure to like it here and share it in other groups. It will help us grow!
If safety was important then lowing your lift to a safe limit off the floor and laying on your back or backs would have been the way to go if laughter was your goal then you got that but showing us the wrong most unsafe way to do this, then yes you nailed it. keep up the good work guys
Actually, showing how to install the transmission was tops on our list. Hard to do 20 inches off the floor.
I bolt a boxed end wrench through a bell housing hole to hold torque converters in. Yup, I have about a dozen 2ft long chunks of RR ties. Just got done installing an engine in a 05 mustang with the ties. Laying on th ground doing things like that is alot less fun at 60 years old.
Amen. 56 ain't easy either. Good for an ab workout though...
I put the car or truck on the lift and use my engine hoist. I built a mounting plate for the engine hoist and this works great for removing transmissions and installing them.
I hadn't thought of doing that good idea.
In the same position you were in (same lift) instead of the trans jack being on that metal plate and having to gorilla it off, we had the jack on a metal rolling cart (two 4 x 4's under it on the cart), jacked up under the pan, so when we pulled it BACK , it was already on a secure platform. Then you raise the lift roll that puppy right out of there. Try that when you have to put it back in :-0) Problem where you had it on the metal cross plate, no way to lower it off and roll it out (and Cam takes a bath...lol)
Just noticed the drawer label "Politicians---Air Tools". Noice!!!!!
Yeah I saw that too.
The torque converter retention tool is a great idea!😃
It’s good you guys have the jack bridge. With a 2-post lift, you almost need two trans jacks to do the job right, support the engine, and make those fine adjustments it always seems to take when you put the thing back in.
We're using the transmission jack now. Came in the afternoon after this video. Lol
I have done many transmissions with the car on jack stands and it is not fun. When I was a tech the shop had in ground lifts. I like them far more than the current post lifts but when I get one for home it will be a 2 post asymmetric lift. More for resto work so lifting bodies off frames is common.
I knew a guy with an old K5 blazer. The trans went out on the freeway. He got a ride went and bought a new trans and swapped it on the side of the freeway. A couple hours later and he was on his way again.
Love ya guys! Back in the day I'd put my Ford up on tree stumps and crawl under and pull my FMX out sitting on my chest! Dang that thing was heavy :) Love the BFG Comp tires, just put a set on the P71 Vicky :)
Lol we try and keep it interesting!
Great Video... Thank You.
Great Idea with 4X4’s..
I’ve always used stacked cinderblocks...
lol... now a days they are too heavy to keeping moving, and where to I get them.... 4X4 are a much better idea.....
Thanks for the heads up..!
👍👍👍
Great video I'm finna take my trans out of my 73 f100 to get rebuild wanted to get a look at what I was going up against again great video 👍👍👍
SURE..where were you when I pulled mine when I did my engine swap...LOL....Nice work
In Aiken! DAD JOKES!
What’d you swap?
checked comments to see if anyone had similar questions as me regarding the shift arms (the knuckles attached to eachother on driver side that come from a automatic shifter not sure what its called tho ) as I have to replace an engine and its out but I've heard removing the trans is easier when trying to realign the engine back in but comments are pretty disrespectful its a good video and it's right to the point just throwing that out there.
Send me an emailso we can dig into what you are needing. jford@autorestomod.com
Is there an AutoRestoMod video on how to replace the pump seals on the C4 trans!
We are planning a C4 rebuild soon.
why is it so bad if the torque converter comes out? is it just because it will still transmission fluid everywhere?
Ian, That would be my first though sir.
Great tips thx
Just wondering since ive seen you work on an F100... I have a 69 , do i have to remove the cross member to remove the tranny? If so any tips on getting at the bolts up inside the frame?
Darn Good Team Work.
Y’all be Safe.
Slow an Easy👍👍👍
Cam and I make a really good team. I let him do all the heavy lifting LOL.
Welcome to this episode of safety 3rd automotive...lol!
We do say that this is not the safest way to do this. 😁
I see this show doesn't wait for Jack. Good job...
Hahahahaha GOOOD OOONNNE!
Great job! It's 🍻 time 😁
i don't know how that car lift works, but I would have lowered the car after everything was disconnected and used a large floor jack under the tranny to drop it. But, I'd also be doing it by myself so it would be a balancing act, just not as heavy for me.
That's certainly another option for taking the transmission out. However we bought the transmission jack just specifically for this kind of work.
I need to isolate a vibration. Do you think it's possible to slide the torque converter back towards the trans (after removing nuts) and clear the flex plate? I'd like to start the eng with the TC disconnected and narrow down my vibe problem.
Not sure.
Hello i 67 mustang 6inline and i need a speedometer cable. national parts Depot is asking me what kind of transmission i have? A 3 speed automatic? i said. But that wasn't enough information for the NPD guy. His only words were you need to do more research before calling. He was of not much help at all. Now i dnt know what kind of transmission i have other then a 3 speed automatic.
Could you please guide on what to look for when identifying my tranny so can call National parts again with the right information... Please and thanks you.
It would be a C4 automatic.
Ребята! По вашему ролику можно учить английский. Если у тебя коробка автомат на Мустанге.
Да.
I got a 4r70w off of a Grand Marques for $115 bucks at the pick and pull.
But is that the one for a 4.6 or a 5.0 Windsor engine?
How come nobody shows how to remove the dipstick tube?
It is a twist back and forth and pull thing.
@@AutoRestoMod some are attached by the top right (left if you’re doing it from the engine bay) bellhousing bolt
I have some questions
Jford@autorestomod.com
Man this a 2020 Video, what the heck going on, glad ya'll can;t block me but WOW!!! Still love you guys and I am gonna like the video, but ya'll seem to struggle, makes me scared of what i am up against tomorrow morning by myself, keep it up though guys, I love Ya'll to death!!!
It is a hard job alone.
@@AutoRestoMod Thanks yes it is and was scared to try it today, luckily you had Big Strong Cam, gotta love that guy!!! Love yall's Channel man, the best!!
Ford life… u get to know every inch of ya car owning a Ford lmfai
Honestly I can't say you're wrong lol
Lots of 2x4 cribbing examples on TH-cam.
Sure hope the jack comes in before you put it back in. I’ve done transmission work both ways. I prefer the jacks 😂
It is here. Works ok. We're about one week ahead right now. It will appear in the next episode.
Don't ever do it that way again, lolololol.
Won't we have a transmission jack now. BUT that is how we did it on the ground. AIN'T doing that with the 4R70W...that thing is HEAVY.
Why are you always working on your mom's station wagon ? I don't care for it much.
And is the new one going to leak as bad as the old one ? How long does that usually take ?
And if you stop the video at 4:30 it's really funny.
And did you nail those 4x4's together ? Or fasten them together somehow ? I don't want to watch the whole video.
Welp some points Mr. Fun Time my mom died last year, the wagon is mine; I do golf clap your attempt at being funny. The wagon is a vehicle that, as I have explained, we bought to do car to car from. The 4R70W is a final part of that. Another point: I don't believe you are forced to watch this show, so, when your visual foe is on, find a nice cuddly video for that week. Most everything on that wagon we are doing crosses over to Torino and Fairlane hardtops so the spectrum is larger than you might think. As to the 4x4s you figure it out, I don't feel like answering your whole question. Have a fun day.
@@AutoRestoMod BOOM chak a laka Jeff. lol
Talk to much
2 minute commercial = unsubscribed
You do realize that that is how we pay our bills to DO these fine videos. Why is it that some folks think I should work for free, but they would balk at doing that? Hmmmm? Come on KnP B, go into work tomorrow and declare that you will toil for 70 hours a week for free for 10 years. Do it. I double dog dare you.
@@AutoRestoMod It doesn't need to be using a 2 minute infomercial. TV execs figured out 50 years ago viewers can barely tolerate 15 second commercials. TH-camrs need to follow the examples of the industry's giants; 2 minute infomercials are abhorrent. No one except the executives at the company you're touting wants to hear about those products for 2 minutes. If you want to make a bigger impact, use the company's name 3 or 4 times within the entire video. Repetition peppered in a presentation has greater sticking power and influence than an infomercial.
I never said you should work for free - don't make assumptions and don't put words in my mouth, I'm capable of finding my own words.
@@AutoRestoMod A triple BOOM chak a laka, Jeff. They have not figured out to fast forward yet if that is such an issue. As Fake Biden would say: Come on Man!
