2. Position the cable end onto the lever.
3. Install the retaining pin and clip.
4. Install the return spring.
39. Install the rear driveshaft.
40. CAUTION: If installing a newly overhauled or a new transmission, a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter must be installed in early build vehicles. Otherwise transmission failure can occur.
If equipped, install a new transmission fluid cooler remote filter.
41. 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 an in-line transmission fluid filter.
