NOTE: Use the following guidelines for installing the transmission fluid in-line filter:
-
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line transmission fluid filter, install a new in-line transmission fluid
filter.
-
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line transmission fluid filter, install a new in-line transmission fluid
filter kit.
-
If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install an in-line transmission fluid filter or in-line transmission fluid filter kit.
-
If installing a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install a new in-line transmission fluid filter.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Remove the secondary latch from the transmission fluid cooler connector.
3. Using the Transmission Disconnect Tool, disconnect the transmission fluid cooler connector.
4. Remove the section of the transmission fluid cooler tube at the second flare.
-
Clean and de-burr the cut end of the transmission fluid cooler tube.
5. NOTE: Be sure the transmission fluid cooler tube is fully seated in the body of the fitting before final tightening of the ferrule nut.
Install the tubing ferrule hose assembly connector onto the end of the transmission fluid cooler tube. Finger-tighten the ferrule nut, then tighten the
nut an additional one and one-half turns to seat the ferrule in the connector.
6. Remove the section of the transmission fluid cooler hose as illustrated.
7. NOTICE: The transmission fluid cooler filter has a bypass valve in it. The red arrow on the transmission fluid filter indicates the
direction of transmission fluid flow through the filter. The transmission fluid filter must be installed in the transmission fluid cooler
return tube with the red arrow on the transmission fluid filter pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler and toward the
transmission (the transmission fluid return tube has transmission fluid coming out of the transmission fluid cooler going to the
transmission). If the transmission fluid filter is not installed correctly, it will cause internal transmission damage.
NOTICE: Do not install any transmission fluid cooler hoses or transmission fluid cooler tubes with a bend entering the transmission fluid
