• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2007 Ford Expedition?

  A: The first step for filtering automatic transmission fluid begins with placing the vehicle into neutral while hanging it on a hoist. The fluid fill plug located on the front transmission case should be removed to release vacuum which aids in pulling out the fluid pan. The service requires elimination of the transmission fluid pan to drain all fluid while also disposing both the fluid pan gasket and transmission filter. Woodworkers should examine and clean both the transmission fluid pan as well as the magnet. A new transmission fluid filter and seal assembly needs to be installed for repairs caused by contamination failure but a reinstallation of the filter is possible when no severe contamination exists. Check the transmission case for the fluid filter seal before carefully removing it while avoiding the case surface damage. Apply transmission automatic fluid onto the new seal and mount the filter before its installation. Insert the magnet into the transmission fluid pan while you also replace the damaged gasket unless the old gasket is in good condition. Fasten the fluid pan with crisscross bolt installation while applying torque of 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). The system needs new transmission fluid according to the refill procedure after finishing fluid checks.
