• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2004 Ford Excursion?

  A: A vehicle hoist positioned at NEUTRAL automatically supports the service and repair of the automatic transmission fluid filter. The service starts by draining fluid through the drain plug before removing both the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket and the transmission fluid filter. The removal of the transmission fluid filter seal needs special care because damage to the seal bore will result in transmission failure. Examine the bore where the seal rests and remove the existing seal if one exists. Always eliminate the previous seal before you install the new fluid filter and corresponding seal assembly. Apply a crisscross pattern when you install the fluid pan together with the gasket while tightening all pan bolts. Screw back the transmission fluid drain plug and add 7.0 liters (7.5 quarts) of new automatic transmission fluid by using the fluid filler tube. Put the engine to start and operate the transmission range selector lever completely through its gear positions to verify proper reception and operation. Check transmission fluid level while the vehicle stays in NEUTRAL position with engine temperature between 150 - 170°F (66 - 77°C) that requires adding fluid in 0.5 pint (0.24 liter) amounts until achieving the proper level inside the fluid indicators' cross-hatched area.
