Installation

1. Install new O-ring seals on the solenoid body connector. Lubricate the O-ring seals with clean MERCON (R) V Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-5-QM or equivalent meeting Ford specification MERCON (R) V.

2. CAUTION: Inspect the transmission case bore to make sure it is free of foreign material and not damaged. If damaged, a transmission leak may occur.

Install the solenoid body. Tighten the bolts in sequence shown.

3. Connect the reverse pressure switch connector.

4. CAUTION: Lubricate the fluid filter O-ring seals with MERCON (R) V Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-5-QM or equivalent meeting Ford specification MERCON (R) V or they may be damaged.

Note: Make sure that the fluid filter O-ring seals are correctly seated on the filter.

Lubricate the seals and install the transmission fluid filter.

5. Note: The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable, clean and inspect for damage; if not damaged, the gasket should be reused.

Install the transmission fluid pan and gasket and loosely install the screws.

6. Using a crisscross sequence, tighten the screws.

7. Reconnect the digital TR sensor connector.

8. Note: A new converter drain plug must be used to prevent leakage.

Install the drain plug.

9. Install the converter housing access plug.

10. CAUTION: Damage will occur to the solenoid body assembly if the screw is tightened above the specification.

Note: Always install new O-ring seals on vehicle harness connector.

Note: Clean the area around connector to prevent contamination of the solenoid body connector.

Note: Use petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring seals to aid in the installation process.

Install and lubricate new O-ring seals on the transmission connector and connect the connector.

11. Install the shift cable bracket.
12. Install the exhaust.
13. Connect the battery ground cable.
14. Fill the transmission to the correct fluid level and check for correct transmission operation.
- Use MERCON (R) V Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-5-QM or equivalent meeting Ford specification MERCON.
