Transmission Removal & Installation:---
A340E
The details are as follows :----
Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
Drain the transmission fluid.
Place the transmission in Neutral .
Remove or disconnect the following:
Negative battery cable
Fluid level indicator
Fan shroud
Transfer case on 4WD vehicles
Rear driveshaft after matchmarking the yoke and axle flange
Starter
Access cover and adapter plate bolts from the lower left side of the converter housing, on all other applications
Flywheel-to-converter attaching nuts. Use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft pulley attaching bolt. Rotate the pulley clockwise as viewed from the front to gain access to each of the nut
Shifter cable
Transmission wire harness
Heated Oxygen (HO 2 S) sensor connector
Transmission connector
Digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor connector
Catalytic converter
Speedometer cable and/or vehicle speed sensor from the transfer case (4WD) or extension housing (2WD)
Transmission cooler lines
Engine rear support-to-crossmember bolts and the crossmember-to-frame side support attaching nuts and bolts
Crossmember
Transmission mount
Transmission upper fill tube
Vent tube on 4WD vehicles
Converter housing-to-engine bolts
Move the transmission to the rear so it disengages from the dowel pins and the converter is disengaged from the flywheel. Lower the transmission from the vehicle.
Remove the torque converter from the transmission, if necessary.
To install:
Install the converter on the transmission.
WARNING
Before installing an automatic transmission, always check that the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission. Typically, the converter has notches or tangs on the hub that must engage the transmission fluid pump. If they are not engaged in the pump, the transmission will not mate to the engine properly, as the converter will be holding it away. Severe damage to the pump, converter or transmission casting can occur if the transmission-to-engine bolts are tightened to force the transmission to mate to the engine.
Proper installation of the converter requires full engagement of the converter hub in the pump gear. To accomplish this, the converter must be pushed and at the same time rotated through what feels like 2 notches or bumps. When fully installed, rotation of the converter will usually result in a clicking noise heard, caused by the converter surface touching the housing to case bolts.
For reference, a properly installed converter will have a distance from the converter pilot nose from face-to-converter housing outer face of 13 / 32 - 9 / 16 in. (10.5-14.5mm).
Rotate the converter so that the drive studs are in alignment with the holes in the flywheel.
Move the converter and transmission assembly forward into position, being careful not to damage the flywheel and converter pilot. The converter housing is piloted into position by the dowels in the rear of the engine block.
NOTE
During this move, to avoid damage, do not allow the transmission to get into a nose down position as this will cause the converter to move forward and disengage from the pump gear.
Install or connect the following:
Converter housing to engine. Torque the bolts to 30-41 ft. lbs. (40-55 Nm). The 2 longer bolts are located at the dowel holes.

Transmission Removal & Installation:---
A340E
The details are as follows :----
Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
Drain the transmission fluid.
Place the transmission in Neutral .
Remove or disconnect the following:
Negative battery cable
Fluid level indicator
Fan shroud
Transfer case on 4WD vehicles
Rear driveshaft after matchmarking the yoke and axle flange
Starter
Access cover and adapter plate bolts from the lower left side of the converter housing, on all other applications
Flywheel-to-converter attaching nuts. Use a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft pulley attaching bolt. Rotate the pulley clockwise as viewed from the front to gain access to each of the nut
Shifter cable
Transmission wire harness
Heated Oxygen (HO 2 S) sensor connector
Transmission connector
Digital Transmission Range (TR) sensor connector
Catalytic converter
Speedometer cable and/or vehicle speed sensor from the transfer case (4WD) or extension housing (2WD)
Transmission cooler lines
Engine rear support-to-crossmember bolts and the crossmember-to-frame side support attaching nuts and bolts
Crossmember
Transmission mount
Transmission upper fill tube
Vent tube on 4WD vehicles
Converter housing-to-engine bolts
Move the transmission to the rear so it disengages from the dowel pins and the converter is disengaged from the flywheel. Lower the transmission from the vehicle.
Remove the torque converter from the transmission, if necessary.
To install:
Install the converter on the transmission.
WARNING
Before installing an automatic transmission, always check that the torque converter is fully seated into the transmission. Typically, the converter has notches or tangs on the hub that must engage the transmission fluid pump. If they are not engaged in the pump, the transmission will not mate to the engine properly, as the converter will be holding it away. Severe damage to the pump, converter or transmission casting can occur if the transmission-to-engine bolts are tightened to force the transmission to mate to the engine.
Proper installation of the converter requires full engagement of the converter hub in the pump gear. To accomplish this, the converter must be pushed and at the same time rotated through what feels like 2 notches or bumps. When fully installed, rotation of the converter will usually result in a clicking noise heard, caused by the converter surface touching the housing to case bolts.
For reference, a properly installed converter will have a distance from the converter pilot nose from face-to-converter housing outer face of 13 / 32 - 9 / 16 in. (10.5-14.5mm).
Rotate the converter so that the drive studs are in alignment with the holes in the flywheel.
Move the converter and transmission assembly forward into position, being careful not to damage the flywheel and converter pilot. The converter housing is piloted into position by the dowels in the rear of the engine block.
NOTE
During this move, to avoid damage, do not allow the transmission to get into a nose down position as this will cause the converter to move forward and disengage from the pump gear.
Install or connect the following:
Converter housing to engine. Torque the bolts to 30-41 ft. lbs. (40-55 Nm). The 2 longer bolts are located at the dowel holes.
Upper fluid filler tube and bracket. Torque the bolt to 41 ft. lbs. (55 Nm).

Use the following guidelines for installing the in-line transmission fluid filter:
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter kit.
If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install an in-line filter or filter kit.
If installing a new or a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.
Prior to lowering the vehicle, install a new in-line transmission filter or a filter kit.
NOTE
When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they can experience slightly different up shifts (either soft or firm) and that this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
Connect the battery ground cable.
Position the fan shroud and install the bolts.
Carry out the fluid level check.
Verify that the shift cable is correctly adjusted. Check the operation of the transmission and inspect for leaks.
The details will help you.
Thanks.
