I want to take on this task and have some material on the way to find out how but what I am wondering from some of you that have done this before is how much is the cost of the actual rebuilding? and do I need any special tools any information is greatly appreciated.

if your with in 200 mi of geno, let him do hit, if not buy a lintech http://www.lentechautomatics.com/rwdmodels.html

I would rather do it myself not so much for cost but for expierence. I am one on them guys that likes to do things myself :)

I was doing a search the other day and there is a video of how to do this step by step on there.

Yea, I have found sufficient material to show me how to disassemble/reassemble, Just now sure where to buy transmission parts or if any special tools are necessary.

So no one knows? or know one wants to share? :(

So no one knows? or know one wants to share? :(ok klutch ,there are 32 specialtiy tools called out in the ford build manual.i get by with 10.if i had the tag # off the side of the trans i could give you the exact soft build kit . im always checking in on the posts.i'll help in anyway pos. i know there are others that can help. :invasion:

most of the tools are lip seal protectors.the rest can be substituted. fords protectors are exspensive. try looking on the net for aftermarket lip seal protectors for an aode/4r70w ,some of the same sights seel all the parts you need to. :Beer

Also, I might add...try to find one that is toast, and not even a candidate for rebuild. use that one as a "practice". The main reason I say this is, when you encounter something as odd as a "anti-clunk" spring in the 4R70W, you can practice on the demo model, before you practice on the "plan to use" model.

I say perform each step, one at a time, to each tranny. Remove front pump on one, then the other, and do this all the way.

If you have 2 trannies side by side, one you plan to use, and the other you dont, you can screw up on one until you know you got it right, then do it right on the one you plan to use.
trust me when I tell you...learning on the tranny you plan to use is one thing, but when you are doing something for the first time, try it on something you dont plan to use...then once you master each step, walk over to the tranny you DO plan to use, and do it, knowing you got it right.

I have a 4R70W with bad forward clutch seals. I plan to completely disassemble it, but not until I have a known blown unit right next to me. I have already done some mods to a 4R70W, but I have never been elbow-deep into the case itself.

THATS next.

THATS next.good idea,also youll have hard parts that could be use and select fit snap rings for clutch pack set up.

Is there a good place to buy parts from? I found some places that sell parts but not rebuild kits just individual parts thanks again for all the information :invasion:
