  45. Use the following guidelines for installing 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. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID IN-LINE FILTER .
    46. NOTE: When the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms can occur while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strategy. The customer needs to be notified that they can experience slightly different upshifts (either soft or firm) and that this is a temporary condition and will eventually return to normal operating condition.
  46. Connect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to BATTERY, MOUNTING AND CABLES .
  47. Position the fan shroud and install the bolts.
  48. Carry out the fluid level check. For additional information, refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK .
  49. Verify that the shift cable is correctly adjusted. For additional information, refer to AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION EXTERNAL CONTROLS .
  50. Check the operation of the transmission and inspect for leaks.
