update Pump alignment tool and performance pump valve comes with the shift kit from trans parts USA. I installed everything in the valve body too. I went to the Ford dealer for the planetary set and they gave me a real wholesale price (the guy was pretty cool). My torque converter bolted...

Test Drive It is all back together and I took it for a test drive. Seems to shift kind of slow from 2nd to 3rd. All other shifts are good. I am wondering if I should have the computer reprogrammed for the trans like some had suggested in other threads. When I get this part straigtened...

That radial needle bearing does come with the planetary set. I bored out the case for the servo bushings and installed them. That kit from www.servobore.com is top notch. It came with enough bushings to do 3 cases. If anyone is interested I might sell it with the 2 bushing sets. I got the...

Well, I went up to Ford and their parts drawings show the needle bearing is built into the planetary set. I was hoping to save that money; at least it didn't come apart and tear up anything.

Thanks for the reply. I do have those parts and TransGo kit in my shopping cart at TransParts... Just wanted to make sure on anything else while I was ordering.

It would hold in 1st until I blipped the throttle around 4k rpm and shift into 3rd.

I could not find the definitive answers on the valve body upgrades. Which brand "shift kit", other valves, separater plate and and other mods are recommended?

Broken Parts The intermediate band is broken and also the intermediate planetary assy. radial roller bearing cage.

Photos Well I have the trans torn down completely. I finally got the right combination for the pump puller: I cut a 3" section out of 2" x 6" rectangle tubing. Used a 1 1/4" hole saw in the drill press. Cut a slot and relief notch for tightening, and just welded an oversized nut to one side...

I just pulled mine. I started with a regular floor jack, then ended up wiggling it out and onto my chest while I was on the creeper. Then, I just lightly let it down to the bellhousing side and slid it out from under the truck. The truck was only raised 5-6 inches.

Thanks Glacier, Bay and others. I will post some photos of the puller I made to take the pump out. The slide hammer is definately the key. I did pull out the 1st servo piston to look at the bore and it does have the ridge.:( So far I know that I will be replacing the 2 front bands, both servo...

I have not pulled a trans apart in about 20 years, so I am a little rusty.:(

Well, I found this forum after my Mom's 2002 Mercury Mountaineer 2wd transmission started having shifting problems. Long story short; you guys gave me just enough courage to pull the pan. Pulled it and found a broken intermediate(?) band (2nd from the front). I have removed the trans from the...
