2005 Ford Ranger Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Q&A

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

  A: Start by placing the vehicle into neutral position before hoisting it for service or repair of the transmission fluid in-line filter. New in-line fluid filters need installation when replacing an overhauled transmission but that device was included during the initial hardware setup. Associate the in-line fluid filter installation with newly provided kits whenever the vehicle did not carry this component. When a vehicle undergoes non-internal repairs the technicians should not install inline filters nor filter kits. A new transmission demands the supplied Ford in-line filter for installation upon completion. Start by taking off the retainer clips from the cooler lines before disconnecting the lower transmission cooler tube fitting. Cut and clean the steel tubing section of the return line before finishing the operation. Fit ferrule connectors with loose nuts onto tubing ends before applying an extra 1.5 turns for proper ferrule seating within connectors. A filter including a bypass valve needs proper installation in the fluid cooler return line by placing the red arrow to show flow direction from the cooler to the transmission. Failure to do so correctly may result in internal transmission destruction. The installation of rubber hoses and steel tubing needs to avoid any bends exceeding 60 degrees that lead into the filter area. Follow the filter installation by selecting appropriate hoses before clamping down then reconnecting the lower transmission cooler tube fitting and installing retainer clips on the cooler lines. After you clean a part of the transmission fluid pan you must place a sticker then add clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission. Operation verification and filter leak detection must be performed as the last step.
