  Q: How to Properly Install an Automatic Transmission Filter for the 4R100 Transmission on Ford Excursion?

  A: The appropriate steps to service and repair 4R100 automatic transmission include new in-line fluid filter installation for both cases: vehicles with in-line fluid filter after transmission overhaul as well as new in-line fluid filter kit installation on vehicles without the filter. Installation of a new in-line fluid filter kit becomes necessary when the vehicle does not already have this feature. Non-internal servicing does not require installation of either in-line filters or filter kits. A new purchased transmission must be fitted with the provided in-line transmission fluid filter from Ford. Start with hoisting the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear while cutting the rubber hose section according to illustrations. Take caution because the filter contains a bypass valve which must be oriented with the red arrow facing toward the transmission while pointing away from the transmission fluid cooler since the return line delivers fluid from the cooler to the transmission. Damaging the transmission internal components may happen when installation is done incorrectly. Installation of rubber hoses and steel tubing must be avoided if their entrance angle exceeds 60 degrees into the filter. Affix the filter into the rubber hose by using clamps that you will need to tighten completely. Apply the label to indicate the vehicle uses the in-line filter system while filling the transmission with new automatic transmission fluid. Complete verification of the filter operation must follow leak testing on the device.
