I simply could not have asked for a better walk through and explanation on how to do this. Mr Williams I thank you for your lessons and the way you explained and demonstrated every step. I'd never been able to do this without your videos. Nobody else explained this the way you did. Again I thank you. You saved me a couple thousand dollars.
There need to be more people like this in the world. Thank you Mr. Williams for your knowledge, as others have stated, this is amazing for those who want to learn. I have always feared working on these types of components. Everyone always talks about how futile it is to try to repair automatic transmissions. Of course I always believed that not to be true, that it was possible, given the right knowledge, and determination. I always wondered what black magic was going on in that bizarre aluminum housing, and alas, I have found Mr. Jimmy Williams, the Bob Ross of transmission repair. (insert heavenly chorus) you will go down in internet history for sharing your epic knowledge with the world kind sir!
your videos are a great help... the slower speed and methodical way in which you go about them allows people like me to follow. and most importantly... you mention every piece... every bearing. Thank you for what you do.
how lucky am i to just get a job assembling transmissions and you show me everything i need to know to get the edge i need! i started monday and i love it! soon enough with your help ill be assembling 8 transmissions a day! and im only 21!
I figured it out. I installed a thinner plastic pump washer to adjust end play. The diode clicking went away after you turn the shaft a few times. Just finished installing it today. Shifts great. Thanks for the videos.
@@petegarcia2401 multiple people are having this issue. Myself included. The front pump washer thickness kit off ebay seams to be the conclusion to this problem. I've dissambled my transmission over and over again too no change no end play. Installed a different thickness washer and now I have end play.
your audio is so precise as though you have over dub Your narration over a speech less background sound. and no distracting music. so soothing when you are holding a part and withdraw out of view of recorded scene Tight editing from an overhead shot to a horizontal closeup. artificial light exposure is portrait studio perfect .
220 inch pounds = 18.3 book says 18 lbs. of torque on pump bolts. Its better just to rent 1nch pound torque wrench. Mr. Williams can put snap rings with those work gloves. As a hill Billy with tight fitting gloves. I have a good chance of a successful rebuild. Nobody could describe this rebuild any better. Any More descriptive details they just be repeating them selves or adding nonrelevant material.👍
One of the best engineering stories you'll ever hear is when some relatives of mine took apart an entire rental car just to educate themselves about the competition about a week before a big meeting. HOA!!!!!!!
I have a 99 Town Car with 210k miles. Although I try to maintain the transmission as best as I can ( 30k miles Mercon V changes, trans cooler, moderate driving) I know some day it will fail. And I know I will order the full overhaul set incl. the full video from this company when the time comes and do it myself.
@Omar Cuenca it's as easy as the instructor is saying it is, but you'll need patience in getting the clutches mate together.. this was the hardest part for me
I have assembled the case and the pump is in. The front shaft turns but I hear a mechanical diode clicking when I turn the front and rear shaft. There is also no end play in the front shaft. I installed 7 new thrust bearings. Could I have mixed them up? The intermediate clutches and plates are assembled like yours. Just below the edge. I have Not installed the reverse servo yet. Just the overdrive servo. Guess I will be tearing it down tomorrow.
Great detailed video series... I am however wondering why the intermediate clutch was just thrown together with no specs. Every other clutch youve been clear and accurate with as far as clearance goes... The ending steel should be a selective steel to meet specific tolerances....
Question. I rebuild a 4r75e, and it will go on 1st, 2nd maybe 3rd but on 3 or 4rd will feel like reverse is engaged it will slowed down. 30 miles per hr or less. Reverse is also good.new or rebuild valve body.it dose the same with mine which I rebuild. Any Idea what it can be before I take it down? Is not my first one. And this one is my own. Thank you.
when you stated that the inner shaft should spin freely at the end of assembly does that mean the shaft should spin with light twist motion or slightly heavy twist motion? In my situation the inner shaft does spin freely clockwise and counterclockwise i have to use more strength almost not possible with one hand
If your concerned with the direction the input shaft should spin (mine rotated clockwise) watch the video closely he doesn’t actually turn the input shaft. He flex’s his hand but it was for demonstration. If you go back through and watch you’ll see his input shaft rotates clockwise. No need to tear apart everything you just done to a tee! It will spin counter clockwise but his really tough. Hope this comment saves you 2 hrs of internet research where “nobody knows “
now, when you get to the end and say the input shaft should spin. it spins counter clockwise but you have to really grip it tight. but free wheels clockwise is this the correct way it should be?
Sure would be nice to know the answer to this. Did you get it figured out? Mine spins clockwise but not counter just like yours. It also makes the mechanical diode click. Really frustrating, and this could have been checked before the pump, he shows it spinning counter clockwise.
+anterpants I laid the trans over and spun the output shaft one rotation and it freed up the input shaft. Must of had some tight tolerances or something.
I pulled the pump again and grabbed it with a glove and could turn counter clockwise but it wasn't super easy. Put it back together and confirmed again I could turn, but still not easy.
So I was at the scrap yard to day and there was a 4R70W sitting on the ground, turning the shaft to the left was easier but not by much. Also turning right didn't click, so it must have been a roller clutch instead of mechanical diode.
my 2004 4r70w has a different pump piston and it has an extra large wavy spring and another sort of L-shaped ring, should I just lay them on top of the intermediate clutch pack and lay the pump on top of it? And does the wavy spring go first or the L-shaped ring? Thank you
+Abi Budau Hi. The "L" shaped part goes down against the last flat steel plate. Set the wavy spring on top of the "L" part. Then put the pump in. Jimmy
So I’ve used your videos and immediately upon removing the pump I don’t have a shift clunk clip. The trans has never been removed or serviced. Nobody even changed the fluid at 180,000. Could the clip fall inside?
There's a missing part where the thrust washer selection is to be made upon measuring the distance from the housing flange to the thrust face of the reverse drum, which I'm still searching for.. Thanks for the great video, in general.
Hello, I have a 4r75w and the turbine is new, in reverse it is strong and the oil pressure is low and the sepertin is new, and it does not go forwards,,,, unless its wheels are up in the air there if it has power the wheels
Not sure if you will answer but what would cause my speed sensor to get grided and what does it read off ? Mines an 02 4r70w and only has 1 speed sensor
I followed all your videos to the t., but I fell on my face at the end of this video. My input shaft locks after as start to torque the bolts pump bolts down. I tore it back down and tried both new and old bearings. I also tried removing the intermediate stack up (steels/frictions & thick end plate). I've replace bushings too. I went back and polished all services with sand paper--I have a perfect surface after words, with no binding. It does engaged on all the frictions/steels. I verified looking through the valve body. I've had it apart 5 times now and can put it together with no video assistance at this point. Problem still remains. Thinking about taking this in on Monday as I'm at my wits end with this 2001 4R70W 4x4.
If others are running into the same issue I had, then also consider the thrust washer being the cause.It was in my case. I narrowed it down after taking the transmission apart, probably 10 times. Take a look here to determine how-to get the correct washer. www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/4r70w-rebuild-diary-part-14-end-case-pump-clearance-selecting-the-right-selective.160708/ I went from a yellow to a green.
Anonymousgunguy thanks! exactly, I ended up adjusting end play with a different thrust washer. Same out come, would have been nice to know that ahead of. time
I LOVE THIS SERIES! I have to laugh though because in all the videos he only says the word "TRANSMISSION" correctly one time and its in this video at 6:12 every other time he calls it a trah mishon.
100% sure the clutches, all of them, are set in. Still no end play! I've gone clear down to the inner large C clip and back out. We are sure everything is tight. Where else can I gain endplay?
Transmission Bench Oh thank God! We tore it open top to bottom at least 5 times looking for the reason we had no endplay! Maybe we'll get somewhere today!
Transmission Bench great video! But my input shaft only turns clockwise with the output shaft, it does turn counterclockwise but not with the output shaft and really tight. Is something wrong? Thank you

I’m having the same problem I don’t have end play .
I have disassembled several times at one thing I took the pump washer off and still no end play

That's about where I'm at too. I can only turn it clockwise, and I can hear the mechanical diode ticking. Guess it's coming back apart.

Hello. I do not have a ring on the video 24: 28sec. This is an important detail for 4r75w? Is it possible to buy this item?
Hello, I have a 4r75w and the turbine is new, in reverse it is strong and the oil pressure is low and the sepertin is new, and it does not go forwards,,,, unless its wheels are up in the air there if it has power the wheels
The clutches are probably burnt
should I be adding trans fluid while I put the parts back in

How many miles did this transmission have
Can you apply transmission assembly line to all of the thing you put transmission fluid on. Are they interchangeable
Except on the abrasive clutch surfaces of course
Is real good ticher
Can I replace the 4R75W gearbox with another 4R70W and what should I do to make it work well?
Is it normal the inputshaft turns clockwise/counter but has the mechanical diode click. It has the green selective washer
Did you find out my is same thing
I mean how do you type pump bolts to 220 or 37nm???
50 lb would be too much
is it normal to have a little wobble on your torque converter once seated
+Delia and Tom Irvin Yes, it will wobble a little bit. It will not wobble once it goes into the crankshaft. Jimmy
Thanks what causes it to leak from bell housing
@@deliaandtomirvin8003 Bad pump input seal or pump to case gasket.
hi is it normal to her a screeching sound wen you turn the input shaft. i seem to here the same sound wen you turned the center support into place
+Robbie K It is normal. The roller clutch makes this noise. Jimmy
Thanks lots
Should I be able to rotate it in both directions? At the end it looks like you rotate in counterclockwise but I can only rotate clockwise.
matt cwynar , i hav the same issue on my 4r70w rotates only in clockwise direction , is your tranny worked??
Ya my trans ended up working just fine. I think i just wasn't getting a good enough grip to turn it.
thanks alot , matt . i just figured it out that after a rebuild greasy
hands and fatigue let you down.
I can’t turn it by hand I need to use Channel locks to turn it
@@petegarcia2401 I'm having the same problem. Did you eventually figure it out?

After I snug the pump bolts that's when it gets really hard to turn?
Do diodes have to click when turning the shaft
