2011 GT Automatic output bushing
robto ,
Good afternoon everyone. I've had my 2011 GT for about 6 excruciatingly expensive months.
Purchased from a used lot after 20 mile test drive. After doing the paperwork, I headed home, within 2 miles, it ate 2 pistons.😊 $8300 got me back on the road with a remanufactured Coyote. After replacing all front, and rear end suspension parts, I now have a new issue.
Upon letting off at highway speed, there is a distinct slap noise. Ive checked it out and it is the output bearing / bushing of the transmission. I have searched extensively as to how to replace this part and have come up dry. Have gone in as deep as removing driveshaft yoke and aluminum nut around the shaft. can't see how bushing could be removed. Hoping my last consult was wrong in telling me it had be removed from inside tranny. If anyone has experience with this I would apprieciate you shareing it with me. Thank you in advance, Robert

Looks like it can be done in vehicle or at least with the tranny removed.

If the direct link above won't work for you:
go to: https://iihs.net/fsm/
Then selecte these menus: 2011 Mustang / Workshop Manuals / 3-Powertrain / Group 07 [Automatic Transmission] / Section 307-01 [Automatic Transaxle Transmission - 6R80] / Disassembly / Transmission / Page 7 onward
For reference the correct document number first page number is is 307-01-i. Page 7 is 307-01-15.

Yup, it is. Looks like the planetary carrier hub is in the way of the tool used to extract the output bearing. Hmmm...
Best bet is to talk to a transmission shop. There's often two ways to do things. The "by the book" way as shown, and the "Real world practical" way. A lot of times the aftermarket won't do things the by-the-book way because it's inefficient or just plain dumb. Like in this instance.
If I would guess, the old bearing would need to be carefully cut out.
Had a similar experience with a CV output shaft bushing on a CD4E transmission. By-the-book says you have to buy the entire transmission case for the bushing and basically rebuild the transmission from there. Aftermarket says nope, cut it out and press a new one leaving the transmission in the vehicle. $50 and two hours vs the days and $1,000's.
