CAUTION: Prior to installation of a new or overhauled transmission, the fluid cooler lines must be cleaned. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.

1. CAUTION: Prior to installation of a new or overhauled transmission, a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter element must be installed. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.

If necessary, install a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter element.





2. CAUTION: Prior to installation of the assembly, the torque converter pilot hub must be correctly lubricated or damage to the torque converter or the engine crankshaft can occur.

Lubricate the torque converter pilot hub with multi-purpose grease.

3. Rotate the torque converter so the green or orange paint daub on the converter is in the 12 o'clock position.





4. If the special tool has not been installed during the assembly of the transmission, install the special tool to hold the torque converter in place while moving and positioning the transmission in place. Once the transmission is in place, prior to bolting it to the engine, remove the special tool.





5. Position the transmission in place. While raising the transmission up into the engine compartment, align the fluid filler tube with the stub tube on the transmission using the fluid level indicator as a guide.

While installing the transmission to the engine, align the torque converter studs with the mounting holes in the flexplate.





6. Install nine transmission-to-engine bolts.





7. Using a suitable strap wrench to rotate the crankshaft and pulley, install the new torque converter-to-flexplate nuts.





8. Install the cylinder block opening cover.





9. If equipped with dual generators, rotate the tensioner and install the outer accessory drive belt onto the crankshaft pulley.





10. Install the front transmission fluid cooler tube.





11. Install the rear transmission fluid cooler tube.

29. NOTE: Use the following guidelines for the in-line transmission 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 the in-line fluid filter, install a new in-line fluid filter.
^ If the transmission is being installed for a on-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.
30. Adjust the shift linkage. Verify that the vehicle starts in PARK and NEUTRAL and the REVERSE lamps illuminate in REVERSE.
31. 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).
