Apr 3, 2011 - My FMX is shot so I decided to put in a 5 speed I already have. But if it's really not that. Overhaul of a Ford FMX Transmission. Here in the US the local shop wants $650 for a bench top rebuild. Thanks for an. This is the most comprehensive workshop manual available for the C4 and FMX Automatic Transmission.Suitable for the home workshop mechanic.
The Ford FMX automatic transmission is a three-speed unit first introduced in 1950. As the transmission is used, the internal components of the transmission wear.
Eventually, the transmission will require repairs or replacement. Thankfully, the FMX transmission rarely fails without any warning. Knowing what to look for can allow a targeted repair plan and, in many cases, time to prepare for the expenses associated with a repair or replacement. Follow the steps below to diagnose a Ford FMX transmission problem. Inspect the transmission fluid at the tip of the transmission dipstick for discoloration or debris. The FMX dipstick is located under the hood on the passenger's side of the vehicle and can be removed by simply pulling the dipstick. The color of the transmission fluid should be a light red color.
If the color of the fluid is brown or dark red, this indicates that a band has failed from overheating. If the fluid is foamy, this indicates either that there is too much fluid inside the transmission or that there is an internal air leak. If the fluid contains debris, this indicates the existence of defective bearings, bands or clutch packs.

Thanks for an excellent post and good pics! Hi I think 650$ are not much for a major repair. Just for disassebling (all parts, including the valve body and servos) I needed about 12 hours. Another 8 hours to clean all parts. 2 hours to change the bearings Another 12 hours to assemble the transmission.
I think for 650$ he will do just the most necessary. So long Wolfgang. The following pictures will show you the result of my little porject. I worked about one week on the transmission.

Do you have a picture of the side with the shifter linkage?
Could you also give me the dimensions of your transmission? Overall length, case length and tail housing length. I know my shifting linkage is different but I am trying to double check what else on this FMX taken out of a 69 LTD. Attached Files (Size: 24.36 KB / Downloads: 360) (Size: 25.66 KB / Downloads: 357). Hi all, I am also just rebuilding the FMX of my 71 Mach 1.
I have a question to the guys who are already done with their rebuild. I have taken apart the front and rear clutch drum to replace the frictions and steels with new Raybestos parts. When redoing the front drum I found that only 3 of the new Raybestos frictions and 4 Steels will go into the drum while 5 frictions were in there before. These were obviously slightly thinner.
Both configurations, with 3 and with 5 frictions, accomplish the 0.01' clearance to the upper drum lid shoulder. When I disassembled the drum with the 5 frictions and steels, there also was a wave washer under them. When I reuse the wave washer I can only put three frictions in as mentioned, when I omit it, 4 frictions and 5 steels go in. Clearance okay. I have studied some FMX exploded views from different issuers and some show the wave washer and some don't. Is the washer of any importance for the function of the transmission? Are three frictions sufficient for proper function of the trans compared to the five before?

Indeed different numbers of frictions are shown on drawings. Some show 4, some show 5, none shows three. Any experiences? Michael Wave washer from the front drum Assembly without the wave washer.
Four frictions go in. Perfect clearance to shoulder of the lid plate. When the washer is in, only 3 frictions fit in. Steven Harris;24572 Wrote: machmeter1;18905 Wrote:Thank you guys Would be possible to give better and more detailed instructions.
