Brad Clayton Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Anyone had one of these out yet? The book says to remove the engine and transmission together out the bottom to get the trans out. I have today off and was informed that this will be my job for tomorrow, so I was reading ahead on what's involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Might be easier that way. I did an escape hybrid that way, whole shootin match out the bottom. Something also to consider is the weight of the unit, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well, I got lucky today. This vehicle is a '13 model and they redesigned the trans by making the TCM and invertor assy removable from the trans instead of all one unit. After getting that junk out of the way, the trans came out just like a normal car, easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Clayton Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Some visuals: With the left seat back folded down, the "kill" switch can be accessed. This is the exact same switch as the Prius I worked on a while back. The handle is slid in the direction of the arrow to disengage it. The switch is then removed by rotating in the direction of the red arrow. The green arrows indicate the sensor that tells the components involved with decision making stuff that it is properly engaged. In other words if you rotate it back to the closed position but do not slide it left the car will not "run". Once this is removed, I hide it on the top of my toolbox. Jumper connections from the module to the trans. These power connections are pretty nifty, a bolt actually keeps it connected. Little portable tables, such as this one, are great for any type of subframe removal. She's shaped rather oddly and a bit heavy too. Normally I use the lift arm and raise the lift up and down to remove the trans from the jack, but this shop has a chain fall. So I put it to good use. Not a whole lot to look at in this area. I only had to reseal these case halves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchan68 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It's good to know that I'm not the only guy wrenching on diesels, who also gets to wrench on gassers, hybrids and electrics too. I got a '12 Mustang GT in for long block #2...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was elbow deep in gasoline yesterday, fuel pump on a V10 Excursion [real shit show] and a fuel injector F150 V6 [leaking so bad it hydrolocked the motor, er a engine].
