...1990 Lincoln Town Car? Engine: 302 (Ford 5.0L) OHV (Shouldn't matter that its not the overhead cam, but whatever)
Transmission: Ford AOD (Not AOD-E... it's the first AOD... the one used in the 80s and very early 90s).
Instructions from Haynes:
1) Raise Vehicle
2) Drain tranny fluid
3) Disconnect the oil cooler line fittings. (Plug lines to keep out contaminants)
4) Remove torque converter (TC) cover.
5) Remove nuts that fasten the TC to the driveplate.
6) Drain the fluid from the TC
7) Remove the starter motor
8) Remove the drive shaft
9) Disconnect the speedo cable
10) Remove any exhaust components which will interfere with transmission removal (I don't have a jack so I can't see if there are any)
11) Disconnect TV cable.
12) Disconnect shift cable.
13) Remove the mount to transmission extension hosing bolts.
14) Raise tranny and remove crossmember-to-frame bolts, lower the cross member.
15) Lower tranny. Remove transmission bolts and stud.
16) Disconnect and plug transmission fluid cooler lines.
17) Remove tranny dipstick tube.
18) Move tranny to rear, disengage from engine block dowel pins, lower and remove.
Installation:
1) Raise transmission, turn TC to line up the studs with the holes in the driveplate.
2) Move tranny forward until dowel pins and TC are engaged.
3) Install tranny to engine bolts.
4) Install TC to drive plate nuts.
5) Connect tranny fluid cooler lines.
6) Install the tranny mount and crossmember throughbolts.
7) Install dipstick tube and oil cooler line fittings
8) Install starter
9) Connect vacuum hoses (Again, don't know if this is required since I can't get under my car... but even if so shouldn't take very long)
10) Connect the shift and TV linkage
11) Plug in tranny wire harness connectors
12) Install TC cover
13) install driveshaft
14) Connect speedo cable
15) Adjust shift linkage
16) Install any exhaust components removed in step 10 of removal
17) Fill tranny, start car, check for leaks.
I'm more curious because I want to know what I'm going to be charged for labor since I don't have the facilities to do this myself. =\
Thanks,
Drivetrain is easy to remove. Mark position, remove 4 bolts, pull back. Installation is also that easy.
Chokos: Ouch... that many? I'm not talking about rebuilding the tranny... pull out the old one, put new one in.
