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 filter kit.
-
If installing a new or a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.

2. Remove the retainer clips from the transmission fluid cooler tubes.
3. Disconnect the lower transmission fluid cooler tube fitting.
4. Remove the section of the return transmission fluid cooler tube, as illustrated.
