Ford Automatic Transmission Filter Install Instructions - Step 5 Filter & Seal

Service procedure page with caution notes and a figure for installing a new transmission filter and seal assembly.

AI caption · Photo 111 of 142

This document is one page (step 5) of a multi-page automatic transmission service procedure, apparently covering replacement of the transmission fluid filter and pan gasket. The page contains two caution statements: do not reuse the old filter and seal assembly, and make sure that the pump bore is clean and the old filter seal is removed before installing a new one. A note instructs the reader to lightly lubricate the fluid filter seal with clean automatic transmission fluid prior to installation. The main instruction directs the installer to press a new filter and seal assembly into place, illustrated by a line drawing showing two hands pressing the filter up against the underside of the transmission valve body. A final note at the bottom of the page states that the pan gasket should not be discarded unless damaged, because it is a reusable gasket. The right edge of the page is cut off in the photo, truncating some sentences, and the image is blurry, but the core procedure steps are readable. The page was uploaded to a 1996 Ford Bronco gallery as part of a filter-change instruction set (pages DSC00602–DSC00606).
