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

  A: The automatic transmission fluid filter repair process requires you to position the vehicle on a hoist using neutral gear. The fluid drainage process starts by first removing the transmission fluid pan afterward draining all the fluid until its completion before extracting the pan bolts. Caretaking starts by taking off the transmission fluid pan combined with its gasket before pulling it down to disconnect the transmission fluid filter and seal. Examine all components of the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket and magnet before cleaning them. During new filter installation it is essential to use a small screwdriver for seal removal in the main control bore while avoiding damage to the bore itself. A new filter and seal must be installed when performing transmission repairs due to contamination but it becomes possible to reuse the filter if contamination levels remain low. The new fluid filter and seal should be placed according to specifications while the pan magnet takes position in the transmission fluid pan before assessing the gasket damage; if no damage occurs the gasket remains usable for another installation. Place the transmission fluid pan together with its gasket before securing the transmission fluid pan bolts. Professionals should begin filling empty dry transmission converters and dryers with 4.7 liters (5 quarts) minimum of clean transmission fluid until the proper fluid mark reaches its specifications.
