2007 Ford Mustang Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service the In-Line Automatic Transmission Filter on 2007 Ford Mustang?

  A: It is mandatory to install a new in-line fluid filter when servicing the transmission fluid in-line filter because the vehicle received an in-line fluid filter as part of its overhaul process. New installation of an in-line fluid filter kit becomes necessary when a vehicle never had an inline filter during its production. Disposal of an in-line filter and filter kit needs to be avoided for non-internal repairs. The installation of new and authorized remanufactured transmissions requires the provided in-line transmission fluid filter as part of the assembly process. The vehicle must be placed on a hoist with the transmission gear set to neutral. The upper transmission fluid cooler hose requires trimming to allow installation of the inline filter. Ignoring proper orientation of the red arrow on the filter while installation will result in transmission damage therefore experts should install filters with the arrows facing toward the transmission. The filter should not use rubber hoses or steel tubing which exhibit bends over 60 degrees from the filter opening. Curf the filter end to rubber hose with a hose clamp before performing a similar clamp installation on the other end. A visible portion of the transmission fluid pan needs cleaning before adding a sticker that confirms filter installation on the vehicle. To complete the process you must fill the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid while checking correct operation and looking for leaks within the filter.
