• Q: How to Service and Repair the In-Line Automatic Transmission Filter on 2006 Ford Mustang?

  A: Starting an in-line transmission fluid filter servicing and repair process requires checking for new filter installation when an overhauled transmission contains such a filter. The installation of a new in-line fluid filter kit is necessary when a vehicle lacks such a built-in system. All transmissions under installation without internal repairs require a strict avoidance of both internal filters and filter kits. A new Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission installation requires the use of the provided transmission fluid line filter. Place the vehicle on a hoist which is set to neutral. The installer must slice a portion of the upper transmission fluid cooler hose so they can add the filter effectively. The filter needs to be installed correctly to avoid transmission internal damage so ensure the red arrow points toward the transmission from the transmission fluid cooler. Implement rubber hoses or steel tubing only when their bending angle stays under 60°. You should clamp down the rubber hose filter end before connecting the other end of the filter to the hose. Mark the transmission fluid pan with clean spots as well as place a sticker there to show the inline filter exists. Associate the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid while performing operational checks followed by a leak test of the filter.
