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

  A: Begin service and repair of the automatic transmission fluid filter by first using neutral gear and hoisting the vehicle above ground. It is important to remove the fluid fill plug fluid level indicator assembly on the passenger side front of the transmission case because this allows vacuum release for easier fluid pan removal. The service begins with draining transmission fluid from the pan before removing both the fluid pan gasket and transmission fluid filter. The transmission fluid pan together with its magnet should receive professional cleaning then inspection work. The transmission fluid filter along with its seal assembly should get replaced when the transmission needed repair due to contamination although the filter may stay reused without excessive contamination detected. If a fluid filter seal exists inside the transmission case you should remove it with caution but avoid harming the case. Before installing the new transmission fluid filter apply lubricating automatic transmission fluid on the new seal. Reinstall the magnet into the fluid pan while putting on a new gasket when the previous one is damaged but feel free to reuse a sound gasket. The last step includes fluid pan installation by using a crisscross bolt-tightening method to achieve a 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque before completing the transmission fluid refill as specified.
