• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2004 Ford F-150?

  A: Start the service and repair process of automatic transmission fluid filter by securely positioning the vehicle in neutral gear on a hoist. Use a wrench to loosen the transmission fluid pan bolts until the fluid amounts to drain properly before removing all bolts and the fluid pan together with its gasket. Extract the transmission fluid filter by pulling it down together with its seal. After inspecting the fluid pan along with the gasket and magnet you must clean them all. The transmission filter and seal assembly needs replacement during repair operations from contamination but an unaffected filter can stay in use when no major contamination is present. The magnet receives reinstallation in the fluid pan and the gasket undergoes cleaning for damage inspection where damage-free condition allows gasket reuse. Mount the gasket and fluid pan on their position before installing the pan bolts. Complete the transmission by adding a total of 4.7 liters (5 quarts) automatic transmission fluid until it attains proper level markings. Supplemental transmission fluid additives along with cleaning agents should be avoided since they result in internal component failure which harms transmission functionality. The automatic transmission requires periodic fluid changes while major repairs need the complete removal of the automatic transmission.
