Installation





1. Lubricate the torque converter pilot hub with multi-purpose grease.





2. Install the special tool for installation of the transmission.
3. The transmission will need to be put in a nose down position 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. Position the transmission to the back of the engine and install the bolts.





6. Connect the transmission harness connector.





7. Connect the rear transmission cooler line.





8. Connect the front transmission cooler line.





9. Install the rear exhaust hanger, transmission support and the bolts.





10. Install the exhaust hanger bolt.





11. Install the crossmember and the bolts.





12. Install the RH heat shield bolt.





13. Install the LH heat shield bolt.





14. Install the rear transmission support nuts.





15. Install the dampener and install the bolts.
16. Remove the transmission jack.





17. Install the shield and install the bolts.





18. Install four new torque converter nuts.





19. Install the torque converter access cover.





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





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





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





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





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





25. Connect the LH catalyst monitor sensor connector to the shift cable bracket.





26. Connect the wire harness to the TR sensor bracket and connect the digital TR sensor connector.





27. Install the fuel line bracket and connect the output shaft speed (OSS) sensor connector.
28. Install the rear drive shaft.





29. 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 Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.

Install a new in-line transmission fluid filter or filter kit.
30. Lower the vehicle.

31. 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.

32. CAUTION: The use of any other fluids can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or failure.

Fill the transmission.
^ Add 6.2 liters (6.5 quarts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.

33. Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements
34. 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)
