  Q: How to Service and Repair the Transmission Pan, Gasket, and Filter of an Automatic Transmission on Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A:

  The service and repair of fluid pan and gasket as well as filter requires users to avoid employing additional transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents as they can trigger internal transmission component breakdown. The automatic transmission requires standard fluid changes for maintenance and essential clutch, band and bearing repairs need transmission removal. Start your work only after depowering the vehicle that has a tire suppression system installed. Position the transmission and shift gear to neutral before hoisting the vehicle to drain fluid by disconnecting all pan bolts then waiting until fluid empties. After removing the transmission fluid pan with the gasket users should pull down evenly to extract both the transmission fluid filter and its seal. The technician must inspect the transmission fluid pan along with cleaning it alongside inspecting its gasket and magnet. When installing new filters for the main control bore users must gently remove the remaining seal with a small screwdriver and avoid damaging the bore structure. Filter and seal replacement with new items should be used when performing contamination-related failure service while repeated use of filter and seal is possible when no significant contamination exists. Position the pan magnet into the fluid pan before installing the gasket along with its clean and undamaged seal. After installing both the pan along with its gasket position the pan bolts until they reach 14 Nm (10 ft. lbs.) torque. A fire suppression system installed in the vehicle requires a repower following the installation process. Use clean automatic transmission fluid to fill the transmission up to its proper fluid level which requires 4.7 liters or 5 quarts.
