If it hasn't leaked in a week you should be good to go.

Hope nobody minds a stupid question. I simply cannot get the filter case off. It is a cast part and I am afraid I am going to break it. Part of the bottom has already come off. Thanks, gm.

Motorcraft doesn't come with an o-ring.

I had a similar problem before. When I used the impact wrench, my stupid self accidentally went the clockwise way, and even if it was for a sec, damage done. Once it's cross threaded or the O-ring is seized or damaged, tat bell housing ain't coming out. Be careful u don't strip those lines. I ended up stripping tat stupid nut off. It actually broke off.

I ended up replacing the whole unit.

Yeah I couldn't get mine off by hand. One tap with the impact gun and it loosened right up

It would be nice for an explanation.

It looks like NTZ Mfg's these for Motorcraft. Every product I find is essentially the same stamped filter.

Why would Motorcraft not include the o ring? Is it an item they sell extra for some more profit or is it considered not necessary when changing?

I really thought I changed mine out last time I replaced. Maybe not?

Yes sir. Ford sells them separately. It is definitely needed. I have never changed my o-ring ever and I had already been thru about 3 tranny fluid changes.
