FT-145 tranny filter

http://www.dieselfiltersonline.com/N...z-09-C09b.aspx


Is this NTZ filter actually the same as the "Motorcraft" one??? I know it says on the site its the same just wanna make sure.....cause this one comes with a new o-ring and is half the price!!!

Yes it is. Actually, NTZ is the OEM for the filter assy, including the filter element. The Motorcraft filter element is a repackaged NTZ.

Got the ntz style of the FT-145 filter...and there is a cardboard dowel in the middle like a toilet paper roll with holes...i thought i remembered the Motorcraft one not having anything in the middle....is this right?

The cardboard dowel is the support tube for the filter. The NTZ is the proper replacement for the Ford filter.

Edit - the FT-145 also has the cardboard dowel.

I realize this sounds strange...does the dowel come out when you change the external filter? This thread is the first I've heard of the cardboard dowel. I'm coming up on a tranny service and trying to "learn my self" the best I can before under taking this little project.

It is an integral part of the filter - it should never come out.
