• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2006 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Start by placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear and hoisting it before working on the automatic transmission fluid filter. The transmission fluid drain operation starts by removing the transmission fluid pan hardware to collect entire fluid content before disconnecting the hardware. Using a pulling motion you should remove the transmission fluid pan together with its gasket before extracting the transmission fluid filter and seal. The technician should thoroughly clean all transmission fluid pan components and inspect both its gasket and its magnet. Start the installation of a new filter after carefully removing any remaining seal in the main control bore by using a small screwdriver but taking precaution against damaging the bore. The filter can be reused in case the amount of contamination remains minimal after inspection but a fresh filter and seal should be utilized for servicing contamination-related failures. The first step is to install new fluid components including the filter and seal while you should position the pan magnet into the fluid pan followed by installation of a cleaned reusable gasket. After installation of the transmission fluid pan and gasket you must tighten its pan bolts to 14 Nm (10 ft. lbs.). Add clean automatic transmission fluid to reach the proper level at 4.7 liters (5 quarts).
