4R70W Trans Filter

Jun 23, 2011 1 Replies

Anyone have experience changing the filter on a Ford 4R70W F-150 transmission. Only filters I have changed were Turbo 400 and Turbo



350... They were pretty straight forward. Suggestions ??

There's nothing special about it. Remove the pan, pull the old filter out, put the new one in. Clean the metal sludge from the pan, put it back on, fill it back up.

To minimize the mess, I liked to disconnect the cooler output line and run the engine a minute or so to pump a lot of the fluid out before dropping the pan.
