2000 Ford E150 4.6L Trans Problem
2000 Ford E150 4.6L Trans Problem
This is a Universal conversion Van bought new. Has only 70K miles on it.
I believe it has an after Mrkt Trans oil cooler on it, with rubber hoses connecting the lines into the radiator system.
One of those Trans hose's leaked bad, and Trans ran out of fluid.
Was going up a hill in town, Not highway, and Van stopped going forward. Backed down hill, and towed home.
Fixed with new hoses, put new fluid in, backed up and down short driveway a couple times, then let it sit and warm up for 15 minutes (was 0 out). Got back in, and no movement.
I do all my own Veh maint for some 50 yrs, but have never touched an Auto Trans.
Looking for a starting spot, from a knowledgeable Trans guy.Like...
check the Flux-Capacitor on the outside of trans.
Bottom line, looking for anything minor I can check on the outside of trans, or say under the trans oil pan, before I go the replacement route. Or some test I can try. I thought of towing it around the block, running and in drive, to see if that would *prime* the pump. Yes, layman's term and thought, have no idea really how Auto Trans work, other than I assume via pressurized fluid turning gears?
Any suggestions, sites to visit, are welcomed. Thanks, Roger
I hope replys come back to my EMail: yzyrpm1@yahoo.com

Excellent! Another question where I know just enough to be dangerous.
The pump runs when the engine runs so no priming it. Towing a modern automatic will do more harm than good because the pump isn't running but everything is turning.
If you were driving uphill with no/low fluid, the clutches and bands are toast at the very least. Maybe the pump and converter, too. Basically anything that moves and depends on the fluid for lube and cooling could be damaged - severe wear and/or overheated.
Internal damage. Time for a rebuild.

towing it incorrectly and you are 100% correct
