• Q: How to Service and Repair the In-Line Automatic Transmission Filter on 2005 Ford Expedition?

  A: Prioritize the installation of an in-line fluid filter during service and repair work for the transmission fluid system by verifying whether the vehicle has a pre-installed in-line fluid filter post-transmission overhaul. The absence of an in-line fluid filter in the vehicle requires users to install a new in-line fluid filter kit. You should avoid installing an in-line filter or filter kit for all non-internal service procedures. The installation of new or Ford-authorized remanufactured transmissions requires the use of the filter included with the product. First position the vehicle on a hoist with the transmission selector in neutral position. Begin by removing skid plate bolts after which you should discard the rubber hose section along with the steel line. End your work by cleaning and deburring the steel line tip before proceeding. Substitute the tubing ferrule hose assembly connector onto the steel fluid cooler tube end while beginning with loose ferrule nut tightening then advance to full 1-1/2 turns. The installation process should be completed when the entire cooler tube has a full insertion into the fitting before applying the final torque. The filter should be installed into the fluid cooler return line with respect to flow direction indicated by the red arrow. The filter contains a bypass valve that protects against internal transmission damage. The filter becomes incompatible with rubber hoses or steel tubing where the tube forms 60 degrees or more of angle before it enters the filter system. You should use quality hose tubing of an appropriate size to implement the filter system followed by tightening all hose clamps. One cooler tube retainer must be installed first while tying the cooler tubes together with a tie strap. After cleaning a section of the transmission fluid pan professionals should install the sticker while filling the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid checking for proper operation and transmission filter leaks.
