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

  A:

  The automatic transmission fluid filter repair process requires you to position the vehicle on a hoist using neutral gear. The fluid drainage process starts by first removing the transmission fluid pan afterward draining all the fluid until its completion before extracting the pan bolts. Caretaking starts by taking off the transmission fluid pan combined with its gasket before pulling it down to disconnect the transmission fluid filter and seal. Examine all components of the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket and magnet before cleaning them. During new filter installation it is essential to use a small screwdriver for seal removal in the main control bore while avoiding damage to the bore itself. A new filter and seal must be installed when performing transmission repairs due to contamination but it becomes possible to reuse the filter if contamination levels remain low. The new fluid filter and seal should be placed according to specifications while the pan magnet takes position in the transmission fluid pan before assessing the gasket damage; if no damage occurs the gasket remains usable for another installation. Place the transmission fluid pan together with its gasket before securing the transmission fluid pan bolts. Professionals should begin filling empty dry transmission converters and dryers with 4.7 liters (5 quarts) minimum of clean transmission fluid until the proper fluid mark reaches its specifications.

  Q: How to Maintain and Replace the Automatic Transmission Filter in a Lincoln Navigator?

  A:

  Begin service and repair of the automatic transmission fluid filter by first using neutral gear and hoisting the vehicle above ground. It is important to remove the fluid fill plug fluid level indicator assembly on the passenger side front of the transmission case because this allows vacuum release for easier fluid pan removal. The service begins with draining transmission fluid from the pan before removing both the fluid pan gasket and transmission fluid filter. The transmission fluid pan together with its magnet should receive professional cleaning then inspection work. The transmission fluid filter along with its seal assembly should get replaced when the transmission needed repair due to contamination although the filter may stay reused without excessive contamination detected. If a fluid filter seal exists inside the transmission case you should remove it with caution but avoid harming the case. Before installing the new transmission fluid filter apply lubricating automatic transmission fluid on the new seal. Reinstall the magnet into the fluid pan while putting on a new gasket when the previous one is damaged but feel free to reuse a sound gasket. The last step includes fluid pan installation by using a crisscross bolt-tightening method to achieve a 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque before completing the transmission fluid refill as specified.
