• Q: How to Service and Repair the In-Line Automatic Transmission Filter Without an OTA Cooler on 2006 Ford F-150?

  A: The first step in servicing an in-line filter without OTA cooler involves checking both transmission overhauls along with existing inline filter equipment; after that proceed with a new inline filter installation if existing or install both filter kit and new filter if not present. Installation of in-line transmission filter kits must be skipped during non-internal service procedures. Customers should utilize the transmission fluid filter supplied by the new or authorized remanufactured Ford transmission. Position the vehicle on a hoist with it set to neutral before removing cooler tubes retainers and sectioned steel tube. The clean installation requires the steel tube's ends to be de-burred before placing the cooler tube inside its fitting. The ferrule nut receives only finger-tightening but should be twisted extra 1.5 times afterward. The filter carrying a bypass valve must go into the fluid cooler return line while having the red arrow aimed toward the transmission to stop interior damage to both the filter and transmission. The installation of rubber hoses or steel tubing should be avoided when the entering filter motion exceeds 60 degrees. Choose appropriate hose length when you install the filter and complete tightening the hose clamps. Connect one cooler tube retainer then fasten the cooler tubes with a restraint strap before cleaning the fluid pan section and finally placing the sticker. The last step involves filling the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid followed by an operation check and a leak detection of the filter.
