ISSUE:
Some vehicles may stall when the transmission is placed into gear. This may be caused by the transmission fluid filter becoming detached and/or loose.
ACTION:
Install a rectangular fluid pan magnet under the transmission fluid filter to keep the filter in place and reduce the possibility of the filter becoming loose.
Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Follow all the normal diagnostic procedures outlined in the appropriate model/year Service Manual. Repair as required. If all normal diagnostics fail to
correct the problem, refer to the following Steps.
1.
Remove the transmission fluid pan to determine if the transmission fluid filter has dropped down or is not firmly seated in the pump bore.
2.
If the filter is not firmly seated in the pump bore or falls down into the fluid pan when the pan is removed, place the rectangular Transmission Pan
Magnet (F3RZ-7E290-AC) on the pan at the location shown in Figure 1.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE THE ORIGINAL FLUID PAN MAGNET FROM THE FLUID PAN OTHER THAN TO CLEAN AND REINSTALL.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THE ORIGINAL FLUID PAN MAGNET TO HOLD THE FILTER IN PLACE. IT IS TOO THICK AND MAY CAUSE A LEAK.
