• Q: How to Properly Service and Install an Automatic Transmission Filter on 2005 Ford Excursion?

  A: Using only the specified in-line transmission fluid filter ensures proper transmission operation during filtering service activities. A new in-line fluid filter must be installed when the transmission has received an overhaul and included this type of filter at the time of original equipment. The installation of new in-line fluid filter kits becomes necessary when an existing filter-free system was built. When performing non-internal repairs one must abstain from installing both in-line filters and filter kits. All new and authorized remanufactured transmissions should be equipped with their own in-line transmission fluid filter which must be used for installation purposes. The first step requires placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL mode on a hoist before removing the pushpin from the lower right side splash shield so you can place the shield to the side. The tubing shield requires trimming to access filter installation. After clamping removal the operator should cut a segment from the return line. The filter that includes a bypass valve needs installation within the fluid cooler return line using the red arrow to indicate flow moving from the cooler toward the transmission. The filter installation must prevent the entrance of rubber hoses or steel tubing with more than 60-degree bending angles. Install the filter by using appropriate hose length while securing the clamps. Push the pushpin after placing the lower splash shield at the area between the filter and lower radiator core support. A visible part of the transmission fluid pan requires cleaning before attaching the sticker. Complete the transmission fill with new automatic transmission fluid while ensuring the correct fluid mark and testing for proper operation and filter leak occurrences.
