Ford XW1Z-7000-BARM Automatic Transmission Assembly

To remove the transmission from the vehicle, follow these steps. Disconnect the battery cable and raise the vehicle on jackstands. Drain the transmission fluid and reconnect the oil cooler line fittings while plugging the lines to prevent contamination. Remove the torque converter cover and mark the torque converter's position for reinstallation. Remove the torque converter-to-driveplate nuts by turning the crankshaft in a clockwise direction. Rotate the torque converter to drain the fluid and remove the starter motor, driveshaft, speedometer cable or speed sensor connector, and all electrical connectors from the transmission. Remove any interfering exhaust components and disconnect the TV rod or TV cable, as well as the shift rod or cable from the manual lever and transmission cable bracket. Support the engine and transmission with jacks and safety chains. Remove the mount to transmission extension housing bolts, raise the transmission, and lower the crossmember. Lower the transmission further, remove the upper transmission to engine bolts and stud, and unbolt the lower part of the transmission bellhousing from the engine. Disconnect and plug the transmission fluid cooler lines and remove the transmission dipstick tube. Move the transmission to disengage it from the engine block dowel pins, ensuring the torque converter is detached from the driveplate, and secure the torque converter to the transmission.
