[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 993258, member: 61136"] I learned something yesterday. Was going to do a pan drop. To change the trans fluid and filter on a freinds '08 escape. You cant change the filter. You can pull the trans-axle plug, and drain 4 qts of Mercon5. I pulled the pan. It is verticle, in front of the trans. The only thing there is the metronic valve body, No filter. After some web research I found that the filter is internal in the trans-axle. The only time a filter is installed, is. When It is built and rebuilt. Had to take the filter back the Advance. It is made just like most auto-trans filters you have seen. [u]So I have a question. What is the point in replacing the filter on any transmission?? Ford doesnt seem to think it is necesary. Or it would be servicable?? Without pulling the trans and doing a teardown.[/u] I just found this very odd.....I would think the parts stores wouldnot even sell the filter. Except in a rebuild kit. That is the only way to replace it. To pull the trans-axle and take it apart. [/QUOTE]
