NOTE: Use these guidelines for installing the transmission fluid in-line filter:
^
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
^
If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter kit.
^
If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install an in-line filter or filter kit.
^
If installing a new or a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission, install an in-line transmission fluid filter.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
2. Remove the section of the rubber hose as illustrated.
3. CAUTION: The filter has a bypass valve in it. The red arrow on the filter indicates the direction of fluid flow through the filter. The
filter must be installed in the fluid cooler return line with the red arrow on the filter pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler and
toward the transmission (the return line has fluid coming out of the cooler going to the transmission). If the fluid filter is not installed
correctly, it will cause internal transmission damage.
CAUTION: Do not install any rubber hoses or steel tubing with a bend entering the filter greater than 60°.
Install the filter and tighten the clamps.
4. Clean a section of the transmission fluid pan and install the sticker.
