• Q: How to Service and Repair the In-Line Automatic Transmission Filter to Prevent Transmission Damage on 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The specified filter must be used for in-line transmission fluid filter service to avoid transmission damage. The transmission of vehicles with an in-line filter needs a new filter during replacement operations. The vehicle requires a new filter kit installation in case it did not come with such equipment. During non-internal repairs the installation of a filter should be excluded. Ford specifies that new or authorized remanufactured transmissions need an in-line filter as a required component during installation. Vehicles first need to set on a hoist in neutral gear position. Position the hose assembly ferrule on one end of the cut return tube section before a simple hand tighten of the ferrule nut and then add an extra 1.5 full turns. It is essential to install the in-line filter with its arrow showing fluid flow direction from the transmission fluid cooler toward the transmission so the transmission remains damage-free. The filter installation requires tubing without rubber hoses and steel tubing that features less than 60-degree bent entry points. A proper hose length should be used for installation of the filter while clamps must be tightened. Take proper cleaning materials to mark a visible part of the transmission fluid pan before sticker placement. Finish the transmission by adding specified amounts of new fluid before conducting operational checks and leak inspections on the filter.
