2006 Lincoln LS Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Installation of a new in-line fluid filter becomes essential before you begin servicing transmission fluid when the vehicle contains an in-line filter. A new in-line fluid filter kit must be fitted as a requirement when a vehicle does not contain an in-line filter. The installation of fresh transmissions that need no internal work should not receive any inline filtering equipment. The installation of a Ford-authorized remanufactured transmission requires the use of the provided in-line transmission fluid filter. Place the vehicle onto a hoisting system that maintains the Neutral gear. The rubber hose requires sectioning to enable the transmission fluid in-line filter installation process. The filter possesses a bypass valve while its red arrow directs fluid flow thus requiring the filter to be fitted in the fluid cooler return line with the arrow facing away from the transmission fluid cooler and toward the transmission. An improper installation method will harm the transmission system from within. The installation should exclude rubber hoses and steel tubing whenever the tubing features bends exceeding 60 degrees which lead into the filter. Start by clamping down the filter end onto the rubber hose then connect its remaining end to the rubber hose followed by tightening both hose clamps. The user must clean a visible portion of the transmission fluid pan and attach the sticker to mark the installation of an in-line filter. You should fill the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid before checking filter operation and looking for any leaking.
