i have a 99 mustang gt. my automatic transmission broke last week. it wont shift out of second gear and makes a bad squealing noise, kind of like a nasty supercharger would sound like then it just drops into nutral on its own. a buddy of mine said that was a typical mustang shot transmission sign. anybody ever had a simular problem? i need a step by step write up on how to get the transmission out. if anyone could help get back to me.

thnaks, frank

 

start with unhooking the o2 sensors, removing the h pipe, the drive shaft, trans linkage. then remove the bellhousing plate and unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate then un bolt the trans from the engine block. dont forget to plug the back of the trans where the driveshaft goes in or it will leak trans fluid everywhere.

 

thanks man, this is what i need. im planning to get the thing out on my own and with a friend,then get it fixed and let the shop put it back in. at least save some $$ on the labor.

 

just take your time and make sure you have a good selection of tools....dont forget the swivel sockets and long extentions

 

thanks

 

no problems!!! did you get it out??

 

no, im going to do the job in a few weeks or so. need to get the money saved up and do a lil more research on it first. good thing i got my truck for now ya know. whats a good auto trans. to look into getting because i dont want to get another original one and blow that one too.
