• Q: How to service and repair the Transmission Pan of the 4R70W/4R75W automatic transmission on 2004 Ford E-150?

  A: Bearing repair or maintenance of the 4R70W/4R75W automatic transmission fluid container should start with eliminating usage of extra transmission fluid additives because they create internal part failure problems along with transmission operational impacts. A transmission's lifespan entails periodic changes of automatic transmission fluid and when clutch, band or bearing changes require transmission removal for maintenance due to a need for thorough cleaning of the torque converter, transmission cooler and tubes to eliminate dirt. The transmission fluid will need to be replaced when contamination is detected during the inspection process. Drain the transmission fluid from the vehicle while it remains in the neutral gear and sits on a hoist by first loosening but not removing the pan bolts then removing the pan along with its gasket. Evenly pull down to remove both the transmission fluid filter with the attached seal while you also clean and check the fluid pan together with gasket and magnet. Prior to transmission repair from contamination it should receive fresh fluid filters as well as new seals yet filter and seal installation can use existing components except for cases of excessive contamination. Position the pan magnet to the fluid pan before installing both gasket and fluid pan and securing it with bolts. Complete the transmission fluid operation by adding 4.7 liters (5 quarts) of new automatic transmission fluid that meets the specified level requirements.
