• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2008 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The initial step to repair or service automatic transmission fluid filters requires eliminating all usage of supplemental transmission fluid additives because they trigger internal transmission component breakdowns. Regular automatic transmission maintenance needs new automatic transmission fluid periodically but all major repairs involving clutch replacement and band fix or bearing installation require complete transmission removal. Owners should disable vehicle power when serving a vehicle equipped with fire suppression before performing servicing procedures to protect from potential injuries. Drain the transmission fluid from the fluid pan through the bolts in a neutral gear position and mounted on a hoist before completely removing the bolts to empty the fluid. The next step involves the removal of both the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket before carefully pulling down for successful removal of the transmission fluid filter and seal. Determine the condition of the fluid pan alongside the gasket and magnet before cleaning them all. When replacing the filter users must handle the main control bore seal to prevent any damage to it. The filter and seal can either be changed with new ones during contamination-related failure service or kept for reuse when no severe contamination exists. Detach and replace the transmission fluid filter and seal depending on your needs and then add the pan magnet into the fluid reservoir before continuing to reinstall the gasket provided it is intact. The transmission fluid pan along with its gasket must be installed while using bolts that require 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque. When fire suppression is present in the vehicle operators should first activate the system then add 4.7L (5 qt) of clean automatic transmission fluid before reaching proper fluid level.
