Questions before dropping valve body...

[FlipTrac_511]

The Ford shop manual mentions putting the gear in neutral (and putting Trac on hoist) when servicing the trans. Does this apply if I'm going to drop the VB? Also, I take it I need to disconnect the battery too.



Thanks!

Yes, it releases the park pin and the piston in the valve body will be inside the VB so it can be removed easily....



I always did that weather it said to or not..

Thanks Todd. I hope I can shift gears after I've already dropped the pan and drained some fluid...



Edit: Yup, I can shift.
