• Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: The service and repair of the automatic transmission fluid filter starts with placement on a hoist and selection of NEUTRAL gear position. Allow for complete fluid drainage while opening transmission fluid pan bolts. Then remove the bolts from the pan. The process begins with removing the transmission fluid pan and its gasket after which you should apply moderate tension to detach the transmission fluid filter and its seal. The servicing technician should clean the transmission fluid pan and gasket and inspect the magnetic component. When installing a new transmission fluid filter it's essential to remove sensitively any stuck seal that remains in the main control bore without damaging the bore using a small screwdriver. A new filter accompanied by a fresh seal should be used for contamination-related failures yet an intact filter can function again without extensive contamination present during inspection. Position the new filter with its seal when needed before placing the pan magnet into the fluid pan. The transmission fluid pan gasket remains usable if it shows no signs of damage therefore perform cleaning steps before reinstalling it into position. Position the pan along with its gasket and install the pan bolts by torquing them to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). To complete the procedure add 4.7 liters (5 quarts) of clean transmission fluid so the level reaches the proper measurement.
