• Q: How to Service and Repair the Transmission Pan of the 6R60 Automatic Transaxle/Transmission on 2008 Mercury Mountaineer?

  A: Service and repair the fluid pan of the 6R60 automatic transaxle/transmission require that you first position the vehicle on a hoist in NEUTRAL position. The transmission fluid fill plug on the passenger side front of the transmission case serves to release vacuum which makes the fluid pan removal more manageable. Drain out all fluid from the transmission fluid pan before removing it together with the transmission fluid pan gasket and filter for disposal. The maintenance staff needs to clean and inspect both the transmission fluid pan together with its magnet. A new transmission fluid filter together with seal assembly must be put in place when repairing contamination damage however filters can be reused when no major fluid contamination is observed. Check the transmission case for the fluid filter seal then extract it carefully while avoiding damage to the case surface. Position the new filter seal on the transmission fluid filter before its installation and apply clean fluid for lubrication. Place the magnet back into the fluid pan while using a damaged gasket for reuse only or replacing it with a new one. New bolts should be installed on the transmission fluid pan while using a crisscross pattern and tightening each bolt up to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). Before storing transmission fluid we must adhere to the correct refilling process of clean transmission fluid into the transmission.
