  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Ford F-150 Heritage?

  A:

  Start servicing and repairing the automatic transmission fluid filter after you place the vehicle into neutral gear on a hoist. The service requires draining transmission fluid from the pan by opening bolts to let all fluid finish draining before removing the bolts. Detach the transmission fluid filter and its sealing mechanism after pulling down the transmission fluid pan by removing its gasket. The technician must perform cleaning and examination of both the transmission fluid pan and gasket as well as magnet. A small screwdriver should be used to remove the main control bore seal for new filter installation without causing damage. The filter for contaminated transmission repairs requires replacement but filtering seals can remain when no major contaminants appear. The pan magnet requires placement within the transmission fluid pan following which the gasket can be reused after cleaning if it remains undamaged. Begin the installation process by fixing the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket then proceed with the transmission fluid pan bolt installation. You should begin filling a new dry transmission and converter with at least 4.7 liters (5 quarts) of freshly cleaned automatic transmission fluid until reaching the correct fluid level.
