2008 Lincoln Town Car Transmission Pan Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Service and repair of the fluid pan gasket and filter must be started by eliminating the use of any additional transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents because these substances will destroy internal transmission components. Install the vehicle onto a hoist at NEUTRAL position before draining transmission fluid by opening the pan bolts. After fluid drainage you need to remove each bolt in addition to the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket. Use down pressure to extract both the transmission fluid filter and seal before cleaning and inspecting all parts including the fluid pan, gasket and magnet. When installing a new transmission fluid filter check that all seal material from the main control bore has been removed with a small screwdriver while protecting the bore from damage. The filter can be used repeatedly after contamination-related services as long as excessive contamination does not exist. However, new filters and seals must be applied when servicing for contamination failure. You should position the pan magnet into the fluid pan before reusing the gasket when it remains in good condition. Fitting the fluid pan together with its gasket becomes possible by following fastener torque settings to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). End your procedure by filling up the transmission with 4.7L (5 qt) of new transmission fluid until it reaches the correct fluid metering.
