BFG4: Crown Victoria Transmission Drain and Fill with Fumoto Valve
Today I show you how easy it is to do a drain & fill on your 4R75E, 4R75W, or 4R70W transmission in a Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, Marauder, or Lincoln Town Car. I installed a drain pan with a plug and added a Fumoto valve, making the whole process take minutes!

    Most videos talk about removing the airbag to get to the blend door. Watching this video I can see how that’s a dumb idea. And will most likely not work. The blend door is too deep in there and up against the firewall. Breaking it off is just silly and incorrect. Take the time to drop the dash and your life is easy. Good video. But I would have liked to see the heater core removal. I mean don’t put it in the description if you didn’t have video evidence of you doing it.

    • @MarauderV8
      @MarauderV8 8 місяців тому

      I think it's always blown air weakly. The one thing that could be affecting it is your mode door. It's a door inside the HVAC box that directs air between the different vents (floor, dash, defrost) and has a weak plastic hinge. If it breaks or stops swinging all the way, it'll direct air through all of the vents at the same time, making it not blow as strong through any of them.

      There are some studs below the air box that are hard to see. Aside from that, you might need to aggressively wiggle it so the floor vent lines back up. I'm not really sure why you cant get it mounted, but unless you broke something you'll be able to get it back in.

    • @MarauderV8
      @MarauderV8 9 місяців тому

      There's a post on top as well. Aside from that, if you can't get it to mount flush to the firewall, the only other thing I can think of is something got wedged between the box and the firewall. The floor vent tube can get in the way of moving the box, so that may have gotten jacked up somehow. You might need to pull the whole dashboard out so you can get in there and see what's blocking it. It's pretty easy to do and if you followed the steps in my video, the only thing you have to do is fully remove the nut holding the left side, disconnect the HVAC vacuum lines, then pull the dash all the way away from the firewall. I hope you get it figured out!
