  Q: How to Service and Repair the Motor and Transmission Mount on a 6F50 on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  Initiate transmission mount repair of 6F50 vehicles by hoisting them to neutral position. The service starts with unfastening two Y-pipe nuts and separating the exhaust hanger for eventual disposal of the exhaust seal and its gasket and nuts. Remove the 4 nuts from the Y-pipe assembly before discarding the attached exhaust seals. Rotation of the engine roll restrictor-to-subframe through bolt should begin first before removing the 2 roll restrictor bracket bolts. The installation process for both the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor electrical connector and the engine breather from the Air Cleaner (ACL) assembly involves their disconnection. Untighten the outlet pipe clamp at the Throttle Body while removing the bolts from the ACL assembly bracket and taking out both the ACL and ACL outlet pipe assembly. Disassemble the battery while taking out its power supply and unplugging all harnesses from the battery tray. To remove the battery tray and bracket first unfasten the lower bracket bolts at two positions and the upper battery tray bolt with its matching nut and separate the power distribution box fasteners. A floor jack should assist you in releasing transaxle support insulator pressure through careful installation of the Oil Pan holding fixture beneath the oil pan. First lower the transaxle from the mount about 50.8 mm (2 in) before removing its transaxle support insulator through bolt and flagnut. The procedure begins by removing four nuts along with the transaxle support insulator bracket before moving to the bottom and top bolts which detach the insulator bracket. Begin with the installation of bottom transaxle support insulator bolts through a torque of 55 Nm (41 lb-ft) and then move to the top bolts with the same torque value. The 4 bracket nuts must be torqued to 63 Nm (46 lb-ft) when securing the transaxle support insulator bracket. The floor jack and oil pan holding fixture allow you to lift the transaxle so you can install its support insulator through bolt while tightening it to 175 Nm (129 lb-ft). Place the floor jack and oil pan holding fixture to the side before installing the battery tray along with its bracket while applying 9 Nm (80 lb-in) to the battery tray bolt and 9 Nm (80 lb-in) to the lower bracket bolts. Secure the five pin-type wiring harness fasteners onto the battery tray while installing the battery. Position the ACL assembly before you install its bracket bolts which should be tightened to 11 Nm (97 lb-in) then apply 5 Nm (44 lb-in) torque to the ACL outlet pipe clamp at the TB. Position the engine breather at both the MAF sensor electrical connector and the ACL assembly. Hang the roll restrictor before installing its bolts to 90 Nm (66 lb-ft) while after installing the through bolt to match that torque. To complete the last steps, you need to add new exhaust seals before moving the Y-pipe into position and installing 4 new exhaust Y-pipe assembly nuts with a torque setting of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). This needs to be followed by installing the new exhaust seal and placing the Y-pipe in the exhaust hanger before tightening 2 new exhaust flange nuts to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).
