E40D Transmission removal

Hi all,

I have a 91 F150 with an E40D that I need to replace. Can I remove the transmission from the bottom or do I need to pull the engine.

If both which is easiest and least time consuming?

Thanks for your input

Out the bottom, and no, you don't have to pull the engine. You just have to get the truck up high enough to pull the tranny out the side. Linkages on the driver's side, electronics on the passenger side, driveshaft and crossmember in the rear, and bellhousing bolts in the front. You may have to undo your exhaust to some degree, too, to give you better access to some things.

Might check these links. The guys over at the FSB forum have done a couple of really good write-ups with pics on dropping an E4OD. Really helped me anywho.

Depending on what you use for a jack, you'll have to get it so it sits flat on the jack. Due to the E4OD's hump in the pan, you may have to get some short 2x4's and a strap to keep it steady.

do you guys just crank the engine over to get every flywheel bolt?

it was a pain doing this when i drained the torque converter.

is there any easier way?
