• Q: How to Service and Repair the 6R60 Automatic Transmission Filter on 2008 Mercury Mountaineer?

  A: You should start 6R60 automatic transaxle/transmission fluid filter service and repair by placing the vehicle into NEUTRAL position on a hoist. The transmission fluid fill plug from the transmission fluid level indicator assembly on the passenger side front of the transmission case should be unplugged to create vacuum release and allow easy removal of the transmission fluid pan. First remove the transmission fluid pan to drain the fluid before removing both the transmission fluid pan gasket and the transmission fluid filter. Check the condition of the transmission fluid pan before investigating its magnet. The maintenance team should replace the transmission fluid filter with a new one along with a new seal assembly unless the repair is not related to contamination where they can use the filter if no major contaminants are detected. Check the transmission case where the filter seal exists and remove it with caution while protecting the case from damaging scratches. The transmission fluid filter seal should be applied to the new filter which then needs cleaning transmission fluid to prevent installation issues. The magnet must go in the transmission fluid pan position while using an available gasket for reuse unless there is damage so new gasket installation becomes necessary. The transmission fluid pan requires reinstallation with insertion bolts which should be tightened at 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) while following a crisscross pattern. The appropriate transmission fluid refill process must be followed to complete filling the transmission.
