• Q: How to service and repair the Transmission Pan and Automatic Transmission Filter on 2005 Ford Ranger?

  A: It is essential to start automatic transmission fluid filter maintenance by hoisting your vehicle on a hoist while placing it in NEUTRAL gear. Start by moving aside the transmission servo heat shield when it exists because of installation equipment. You should remove all screws from the fluid pan but keep the two front screws partially tight while draining the transmission fluid. Locate the fluid pan rear section and use a pry tool for access before removing the two screws in front. Remove the transmission fluid pan before throwing away the previous gasket. Totally remove the transmission fluid filter using the built-in screws to extract it from its place. Check all mating surfaces of the fluid pan and magnet for cleanliness. The new fluid filter O-ring seals must be lubricated with clean automatic transmission fluid before installation onto the main control valve body. Install the magnet into the fluid pan then add the new gasket correctly before slowly installing the screws. Secure the screws across opposing patterns. You should place the servo heat shield back onto the pan rail after repositioning it. Begin your fluid addition with at least 3.7 liters of fresh automatic transmission fluid then top it off to the recommended mark. Begin with the park brake engaged and start your engine before moving the range selector through all gears to check the fluid level.
