2005 Ford Mustang Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the automatic transmission filter and transmission pan on 2005 Ford Mustang?

  A: Start the automatic transmission fluid filter servicing operation by placing the vehicle into neutral gear and hoisting it before beginning. Remove the heated oxygen sensor connectors which connect to the transmission pan rail front section before unclipping the retaining wire from the right side of the pan rail. Remove the drain plug to drain the fluid and then remove the transmission fluid pan together with its gasket. Discard the old transmission fluid filter before cleaning and inspecting the transmission fluid pan along with the magnet inside. Apply clean automatic transmission fluid to new transmission filter O-ring seals before securing it with screws that should receive torque of 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Position and secure the fluid pan magnet inside the transmission fluid pan while installing both components before screwing the pan in place with loose threads and then tightening in a crisscross pattern to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Reattach the drain plug while torquing it to 26 Nm (19 lb-ft) then reconnect the heated oxygen sensor connectors together with the wire retaining clip. Before checking the fluid level use a wrench to hold the drain plug while removing the liquid indicator plug with a 3/16-inch Allen key.
