anyone know how to rebuild a tranny?
i have been looking at rebuild kits since i cant find a decent price on a used one. anyone here know how to rebuild one that is willing to help a FTE'er out with the rebuild?

Automatic, or Manual? If it's the latter, it's a pretty straight forward rebuild. Remember, a digital camera can be your best friend. I myself would never attempt a auto rebuild, just for the simple fact of not having all the right tools to do the job.

Many years ago, my Dad & I rebuilt a 4x4 C4 on the kitchen table in the house LOL.
It was pretty easy since we had a how-to video to follow. Main thing is to take your time and make sure you're working in a clean environment. There were a few specialty tools we had to borrow (some type of puller, I don't remember what exactly) but I think you can borrow most tools from Auto Zone or Advance. Here's a similar video for your E40D: Rebuild DVD, Book/Manual - Ford Truck E4OD Trans These days you might be able to find this info on the internet (youtube maybe?). Good luck! |
Instead of rebuilding the auto how about you swap in a manual? But then again youd have to set your purse down so you can have a hand to shift with. :-X03

lol its not a purse its a satchel thank you very much. i do wanna swap in a manual but you gotta buy a whole freaking truck to do the swap with to make sure you get all the parts. thats more expensive than a rebuilt auto. wife says with baby boy coming i cant buy whatever i want right now. geez she is a kill joy. i am just trying to make it drivable. so do you know how to rebuild a tranny lol

Where are you at. It has been a while since I did one, but I will help you do it. I cannot lift so ill just drink beer, but a rebuild is very simple. Just have to have a clean area and a good flat table to hold the weight.

i am in parkersburg. i am very good at grunt work lol i have no trouble doing that. if its ok with you we will wait till after the new year get all the holidays out of the way. i really do appreciate that. very nice of you. |
May I suggest buying an ASTG manual when you buy the parts kits. It's worth the money as it gives very detailed information on the specific trans your working on. I am trained on rebuilding auto's and I still have those books for any I work on just for the torque specs etc.
also buy a decent inch/lb torque wrench, your going to need it. and have a clean area to work. This is where I get my parts and manuals from most of the time for stock rebuilds and some minor performance stuff 4L60E 700R4 4L80E 4R100 E4OD 2004R C6 TH350 TH400 Transmission Parts |
