  35. Install a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter. For additional information, refer to TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION COOLING .
  36. Use the following guidelines for the in-line transmission fluid filter:
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
    • If the transmission was overhauled and the vehicle was not equipped with an in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter kit.
    • If the transmission is being installed for a non-internal repair, do not install an in-line filter or filter kit.
    • If installing a new or a Ford authorized remanufactured transmission, install the in-line transmission fluid filter that is supplied.

      Prior to lowering the vehicle, install a new in-line transmission filter or a filter kit.

  37. Adjust the shift linkage. Verify that the vehicle starts in PARK and NEUTRAL and the REVERSE lamps illuminate in REVERSE. For additional information, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS .
  38. Install the fluid level indicator.
  39. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level, and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24 liter (0.5 pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).
