[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 998870, member: 69241"] I'd drop the trans pan to change filter and gasket. WIX p/n 58099 (go to wixfilters.com) shows new gasket with this kit that fits 6R60 transmission. I agree with Eddie's advice on fitting a drain plug to your pan. In my opinion there's nothing like frequent trans fluid drain/fill that will give you max life out of your auto transmission. Ford says 150K for trans fluid change on this transmission; I say No Way. Problem is that they've taken away the dipstick tube, making a service fill very difficult; the fill port/dipstick is on the passenger side of transmission, conveniently located next to the catalytic converter. Of course checking the level requires the fluid at normal operating temperature! [/QUOTE]
