They offer a kit with single sided red friction material friction plates. They spin on and off very nicely. I brought lots of ropes and we tied the transmission down really well. It has interchangeable bits that can remove internal or external snap rings. Step-6: Insert Frictions and Steels Alternate clutches and steels with this clutch friction being first after the wavy washer. I ended up using a whole quart during the assembly. It seems like everybody who rebuilds an automatic transmission has a picture of the valve body with all the various valves and springs spread out on the workbench, so here ya go.
At a glance, the huge C6 pan has a little dogleg at the vacuum modulator, which makes it easy to identify. Correction: Recover hydraulic control, restore normal shift operation and restore clutch pressures by installing Sonnax Zip Kit. The circled holes will be drilled out with the drills supplied by Dana, according to the instructions. In addition to general rebuilding tips and technical information, the technical booklet included in this kit contains vacuum testing information and locations at other key areas of the valve body and pump. New one way clutches and sprags, thoroughly clean the valve body and take your time with that. You can shift it into neutral and back into drive and repeat.
One of the major differences between the 6F35 and 6T40 applications is computer location. Here you see a larger transmission oil cooler from a 6. The springs were too strong. Whenever you source a C6 valve body, always determine origin because applications vary greatly. There is nothing to hold the snap ring in position and the whole assembly gets blown out of the pump when it's pressurized for the first time. Do you think its a major issue with clutches or just a stuck piston in the accumulator valve or in the valve body? The biggest difference I noticed was on downshifts.
Unfortunately the junko spring retainer that holds the bits allows the bit to wobble around, making the tool worthless. Either setup will work on the 7. If you buy that unit, and have a shop install it. I got it apart with the multiplicity of adapters on the left. Step-11: Inspect Installation The installed low-reverse clutch package should look like this.
In first gear, the input shaft turns the forward planet, which reverses input shaft rotation to the sun gear. Transmission sump temperature should be at a hot idle. A little trans oil for lubrication and the piston slipped right in. When I tried to put in the reverse and intermediate boost valve I was pushing against the spring. Whether you need 4R100 wiring diagram information, 4R100 transmission rebuilders tips, 4R100 technical information, 4R100 diagnostics, 4R100 troubleshooting help, or just answers to your 4R100 transmission rebuilders question, the is the place to go! At 190k the 4R100 in the Expedition is about on its last legs, so I'm preparing to rebuild it. I ended up using the 2x4 with the railroad rail on top and leaning on it pretty hard.
Some transmission techs endorse removal of the wavy washer in the forward clutch for the addition of a clutch friction. Next in line is the governor, which is mounted on the tailshaft. The first thing I noticed was that he used a cork pan gasket. One of the major differences between the 6F35 and 6T40 applications is computer location. A re-manufactured transmission also comes with a : three years compared to 90 days for a rebuilt transmission. You don't see that nowadays. I rented a U-Haul van to get the transmission.
I ground away some of the material near the rear pins to let the pliers close further so the tips would open more. The forward planet rotates around the sun gear, which provides support at this point. Step-4: Install Governor First lubricate the governor distributor sealing rings then slide the assembly onto the output shaft. To prevent future concerns, remove these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the transmission back into use. The boost bushing sits very deep in the bore so I needed all the length I could get. I used carb cleaner for the final rinse. This is an extremely rugged transmission as it came from Ford.
The kit also contains components to address overdrive planetary and piston failure, forward clutch failure, soft shifts, low clutch apply pressure, unit end play, and lube and bushing failure. After you replace the manual and kickdown shifter seals this is the end result. Function begins with the front pump, a simple gear pump that provides hydraulic pressure for operation and lubrication for moving parts. The 90-degree Fairlane small-block V-8s followed in 1962. We understand that our customers rely on our expertise and skills for all of their transmission services and gear train maintenance needs, and we are dedicated to making their experience with us easy and enjoyable! I wasn't going to let that happen to me, so I resolved that the car was going to stay up on blocks with the wheels off the ground minimum load on the transmission until the problem was resolved. If the motor overheats, it actually starts heating the transmission fluid which could lead to a quick transmission death.
