If you do the service yourself, Make sure and get the filter o-ring seal removed before you install the new filter and use Ford authorized parts for the filter.

Would the filter falling out of place cause damage to the transmission in the long run?

It would be speculation without seeing the pan drop and the filter in the pan then checking for the o-ring in the hole and seeing if it was extra, but yes the filter being at the bottom of the pan could have caused the trans to suck air past the o-ring causing a drop in oil pressure. Also, having something hit the trans pan can dislodge the filter and cause it to drop also. Keep in mind if the filter was to drop, there isnt much room for it to drop very far as most of the 4R70W pans have dimples in them to hold the filter up.

chasing a thread throughout the forum and I ended up here...hope someone can help.
I have a 99 E250 with a 4R70W out of a 97 Crown Vic installed (dont ask..PO installed it). Anyway, there appears to be a LOT of endplay in the tail shaft - like upwards of 1/8 inch movement. Im assuming the TS bushing is shot. Anyone know if this in an internal replacment or external? If external, any special tool required to remove it or do I have to go internal to get the housing off the shaft? If internal (or messy external), can I just drop the tail shaft and replace the bush without opening a can of worms?
thanks -
