  Q: How to Properly Maintain the Automatic Transmission Filter on a Mercury Marauder?

  A: Placing the vehicle on a hoist while maintaining it in neutral is the first step before repairing the automatic transmission fluid filter. You should drain all fluid through transmission fluid pan bolts until complete before breaking the bolts loose from their holders. The transmission fluid pan must be removed afterward the gasket before pulling down until the transmission fluid filter and seal detach from the system. Service personnel must clean inspect both the transmission fluid pan along with gasket and magnet. Before applying a new filter check the main control bore for remaining seal which needs removal with a small screwdriver but avoid damaging the bore structure. The replacement of a new filter and seal becomes necessary only in contaminated transmission services. Otherwise any filter can be reused when no major contaminants are detected. To continue insert the Transmission Pan magnet into the fluid reservoir after installing any essential new filter and seal components. A damaged gasket should be cleaned and inspected before reusing it. The service technician installs the transmission fluid pan along with its gasket and fastens the bolts before lowering the vehicle then adds clean automatic transmission fluid to the proper level.
