I did a no load trip to Arizona a month ago Trans temp from the scan gauge was 174 for the most part it never really changed driving, only cold start and when EOT/ ECT was at 190s then the Trans temp moved to 160s, I'm hoping the numbers here are at normal values.lets see what y'all are getting , this is from the Stock pan.
Me too, more is better. For 200k miles that pan has never been off so it will be interesting (to me) what's in the bottom.
Don't get scared when you drop the pan. The old filter comes apart pretty easy. Put the suction end cap of it in a vise and squeeze. The ultrasonic welded plastic will pop apart at the seam and you'll be able to slide the filter cartridge out of the housing for further inspection. When you get it apart you will notice the screen is alot finer mesh than what most assume.
Sorry, but when my friends say they won't vote, it is just a vote for the lying bE-atch
I'll take my chances with the lying businessman...
Sorry, we don't do politics here... right...?
I went to school with a turkey that would not vote but he sure
would bitch about it later down the road. The kicker is he was not
a young kid. 30's I would have to say. Mom was joking about not
voting and I gave he a hard time about it. Now my sister I wished
would not vote for the person that I am sure that she will vote for.
OK to keep Jogn out of how water we should take the politico elsewhere,
There is one motorcycle forum that has a political section that you have to get permission to post in, anyone can read. With that avenue presented, it gets wild and it draws in people who would normally ever be in the forum. And I would have to say the activity in that unregulated forum has affected the way I see people who then post in the tech side. It really is a slippery slope. But that site really gets nasty!

When I changed pan last week, my magnet in the old pan only had a 1/4" of FUZZ on it.... bottom of pan wasn't that dirty either. Was able to remove the gasket and stick it on the new pan without a problem...just put a little dab of white grease on the corners to hold it in place until I got a few bolts on. Easy-peezy.
Got a little quandary here guys after playing for 45 minutes. That little orange o-ring seal will not come out of the trans. Won't move with finger force. Made a tool out of a wood dowel, nope. Even went to using what shouldn't be used, a steel o-ring pick and it won't budge. Really don't want to force the new ring off the new filter and reuse the old ring where it sits, but there may not be a lot of choices here soon. Ford warns of failure if that aluminum bore is scratched with the tool I already used, so anyone WHO HAS DONE THIS with suggestions?

do you happen to have any angled needle-nose pliers? I would also consider plastic tools, if you don't have something, try to make a "puller". I have some dental picks, but I would be VERY careful trying something like that...
Non-invasive:
Hair dryer and PB blaster. Let it soak to soften and get behind the seal. Then try pulling it out.
Invasive:
90° pick jabbed into just the rubber o-ring partially.
X-acto knife and score the rubber being careful not to draw the blade through but just push it straight in to score the rubber. Then try pulling it.
For me they usually come out with the pick poked into just the rubber seal halfway and pull down.
You could make a tool out of Lexan with an L or hook on one end to pull it. That won't hurt the bore.

All Great Tips!
Jack: IIRC it is a reinforced seal, so I don't think you could cut through it all the way to the pick-up bore... PB Blaster sure became my friend, but didn't need it for this.
I was looking around the garage for other dowels and plastics.... Have some HDPE but I sent aluminum rods I had back to McMaster just last week.
I ended up making a puller out of 3/8" washers, nuts and threaded rod, using the smooth punched through side edge towards the seal so it wouldn't scratch. I had some nylon washers but couldn't back them enough to get a good purchase on the seal. Man I didn't want to scratch this highly polished bore after reading in the manual, "Don't scratch the bore". I was able to grab it best towards the back of the truck.
Thanks for the thoughts guys. Now I need to go buy a new OTC O-Ring pick as I bent this hardened one and those molecules don't take to bending well.
