  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Ford Crown Victoria?

  A:

  You should begin automatic transmission filter maintenance by excluding supplemental transmission fluid additives and cleaning agents because they might cause internal transmission component failure. The automatic transmission fluid needs regular replacement during normal maintenance while major repairs including clutch work and band and bearing replacements need transmission removal for proper execution. Operate vehicle maintenance procedures only when the primary fire suppression system of the vehicle is depowered. Before bolt removal from the transmission fluid pan begin draining the transmission fluid by putting the vehicle into neutral position and placing it on the hoist. The maintenance begins by removing the transmission fluid pan with its gasket before evenly sliding the filter and seal down to extract them from the fluid pathway. Thoroughly clean all parts of the transmission fluid pan and gasket before carefully inspecting the magnet. The procedure requires installation of a new filter while using a small screwdriver to remove excess seal from the main control bore with great caution to avoid damaging the bore. The filter can stay in service after inspection when the amount of contamination does not exceed stated limits but replacement of the filter as well as the seal is necessary for contamination-related failures. Install a new fluid filter followed by its specified seal then position the pan magnet into the transmission fluid pan and install the reusable gasket after cleaning it for any damage detection. The framework for the transmission fluid pan must be correctly positioned while the gasket gets installed before tightening pan bolts to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft). Repower the fire suppression system following installation in vehicles that have such systems. Use clean automatic transmission fluid to fill the transmission until it reaches its proper level. The amount required is 4.7L (5 qt).
