rjam Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 To remove the engine to replace rear crankshaft seal do they unbolt the body and lower the frame etc.?Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparrow Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) I don't know if they would need to remove the entire engine to replace the seal but if 'they' do then they would drop out the front suspension and cradle with the drivetrain attached. The subframe would stay attached to the body. Edited May 15, 2015 by Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjam Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 They removed the transmission and the engine. I was curious how the took it out. Thanks for the quick post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Rich FORD texted a picture of my ICE/ Trans sitting in a cradle under my car with car on lift. It looks like front suspension is still on car. Paul Edited May 16, 2015 by ptjones Bill-N, obob and jdbob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptjones Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Glad you are not paying for that one Paul! Wonder what it iscosting Ford.I heard that it was $6K for the trans, so i'm telling everyone not to let their warranty run out. IMO :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjam Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks for the photo. Got the car back after rear main seal replaced. No problems with it at all was worried about rattles and squeaks after this major repair. Dealer did a great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask to keep an eye out for this being something others and myself shouldn't be surprise happening in the future.

rjam Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi. The car is a C-Max 2013 SEL with 48,000 miles. I drive 50% town 50% freeway never over 65. Glad my dealer found the bad seal after an oil change. Good reason to have a good dealership do the maintenance. They found seepage and added dye. FORD COVERED IT 100% under the drivetrain warranty and they provided me with a rental. Great service! obob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Thanks for the engine / trans photo and info.Did you happen to notice where the upper engine mount is on the engine? (It may be the source of a vibration I and others hear under part load and cold temps.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duxracer Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 How do you pull a transmission out of AC Max do you have to pull the engine with it or can you just drop the transmission on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowStorm Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 They both drop out the bottom, then you remove the transmission - (at least I've never heard of doing it any other way). Bill-N and ptjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
