  Q: How to Service and Repair an Automatic Transmission Filter for the Torqshift on Ford E-150?

  A:

  You should position the vehicle on a hoist with neutral gear selection before starting automatic transaxle/transmission fluid filter service and repair work on the Torqshift. The drain plug removal starts the transmission fluid draining process before the fluid pan followed by the gasket and finally the fluid filter must be taken off. When removing the transmission fluid filter seal check to avoid damaging the seal bore while you examine for the presence of any seal residue. The high efficiency sump filter (HESF) requires a wide bottom pan with depth to stop cavitation why filter destroys and transmission harm. Check that you remove the existing seal from the transmission fluid filter and seal assembly before its installation. First tighten the transmission fluid pan bolts using a crisscross pattern then install both gasket and pan before final tightening up to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Follow up with a 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque setting when installing the transmission drain plug. Use recommended transmission fluid exclusively while filling the system up to 7.0L (7.5 qt) through the filler tube. Start the engine while moving the selector lever across the entire range of gear settings for proper engagement inspection. Regular checks must be performed on transmission fluid level when the vehicle stands in neutral and the engine maintains normal operating temperature between 66 - 77° C (150 - 170° F). Adjustments should be made by adding 0.24L (0.5 pt) transmission fluid increments to reach the appropriate level while ensuring the fluid stays inside the hot range cross-hatched area of the level indicator.

  Q: What Are the Guidelines for Installing an Automatic Transmission Filter on Ford E-150?

  A:

  The installation of an in-line transmission fluid filter requires replacement when servicing the 4R70E/4R75E automatic transaxle/transmission especially when conducting an overhaul and when a vehicle has this component as original equipment. A new in-line transmission fluid filter kit requires installation as a first step when the vehicle entered the market without an existing in-line filter system. External transmission fixes must exclude the installation of both in-line filters and filter kits. A new in-line transmission fluid filter becomes necessary for any fresh or authorized remanufactured transmission installation. Introduction of procedures starts by hoisting the vehicle at neutral and extracting a designated segment from the rubber hose. Proper installation of the in-line transmission fluid filter demands that you position the arrow facing the transmission fluid cooler direction to point toward the transmission unit to prevent internal transmission damage. Install only rubber hoses or steel tubing with their entering angle below 60 degrees in front of the filter. The next step includes cleaning a portion of the transmission fluid pan followed by applying the sticker after proper clamp tightening of the filter. The process ends with a clean transmission fluid filling operation then checking for correct function and verifying the inline transmission filter for leakage.
