Installation





1. Lubricate the torque convertor pilot hub with multipurpose grease.





2. Install the special tool for installation of the transmission.
3. The transmission will need to be position nose-down so the rear of the transmission will clear the exhaust. Partially raise the transmission up into the vehicle.
4. Connect the wire harness to the top of the transmission.





5. With the transmission in a horizontal position, remove the special tool.
6. Position the transmission to the back of the engine and install the bolts to the RH side of the transmission.





7. Install the bolts to the LH side of the transmission.
8. Install a jack stand under the bellhousing with a block of wood.
9. Remove the transmission jack.





10. Connect the transmission harness connector.





11. Connect the rear transmission cooler line.





12. Connect the front transmission cooler line and the H02S connector.





13. Install the shield and install the bolts.





14. Install four new torque converter nuts.





15. Install the torque converter access cover.





16. Install the starter motor and the three starter bolts.





17. Install the battery cables to the starter motor and connect the ground cable.





18. Install the plastic cover to the starter motor electrical connector.





19. Connect the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor connector.





20. Install the shift cable and bracket to the transmission and connect the shift cable to the manual control lever.





21. Connect the wire harness to the digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor bracket and connect the digital TR sensor connector.





22. Connect the LH HO2S.





23. Connect the HO2S sensor clip from the transmission.





24. Install the fuel line bracket and connect the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor connector.

25. NOTE: Use the following guidelines for the in-line transmission fluid filter:
^ If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
^ If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter kit.
^ If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install an in-line filter or filter kit.
^ If installing a new or Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.

Install a new in-line transmission filter or a filter kit.
26. Install the transfer case.

27. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they may experience slightly different upshifts (either soft or firm) and this is a temporary condition that will eventually return to normal operating condition.

Connect the battery ground cable.

28. CAUTION: The use of any other fluids can result in incorrect operation of the transmission or transmission failure.

Fill the transmission with clean automatic transmission fluid through the fluid filler tube.
29. Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
30. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66 - 77°C (150 - 170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24 liter (0.5 pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator.)
