Transmission Replacement

Hi,

This is a big job that will require special tooling. You will need an engine support to hold the engine in place when removing the transmission.

I included the removal and installation directions below. They are quite extensive but don't be overwhelmed.

Take a look through these and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe

See pics below.

Thanks a Million Joe F.

Hello,

See attached for the complete replacement procedure for the transmission, including all the torque specifications and needed special tools.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Thanks Sean M.

You are welcome.

Does the 2007 Ford Freestyle transmission work for the 2005 Ford Freestyle??

Hi,

I looked up part numbers for both model years and included them below. They are the same part number, so it should work.

However, this is a CVT transmission. If the one you plan to use has a lot of miles, consider rebuilding it prior to installation. This transmission design hasn't been the longest lasting.


2005 -- 7F9Z7000A

2007 -- 7F9Z7000A

Interestingly, the part is identified as a CVT in the manual, which to the best of my knowledge is. The removal and replacement that both Sean and I provided show it as a 6-speed automatic. I'm waiting for confirmation.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
