  Q: How to Service and Repair the Automatic Transmission Filter on Lincoln LS?

  A:

  Service and repair of automatic transmission fluid filter starts with vehicle suspension and a drain pan positioned under the transmission fluid pan. First remove the drain plug to drain fluid from the system before you proceed to remove the bracket. When the transmission fluid pan gasket remains intact you should use it again for future purposes after a thorough cleaning process. The service starts with fluid pan and gasket removal followed by discarding of the old transmission fluid filter and cleaning and inspecting the transmission fluid pan and magnet. Remove the converter housing plug together with the drain plug. The installation requires using a new converter drain plug for leak prevention before installing the drain plug followed by installing the converter housing access plug. Apply clean automatic transmission fluid to O-ring seals on the filter before setting them properly on the fluid filter for installation. Place the oil pan magnet inside the transmission fluid pan before you put it and its gasket in place and loosely screw its screws. First install the shifter cable bracket before placing the drain plug and tighten screws by a cross pattern approach. When you remove the fluid level indicator plug you need to hold the drain plug with a wrench and use a 3/16 inch Allen key. Conduct the final step by checking the fluid level.
