Procedures:

Note: Ensure transmission is at operating temperature prior to starting procedure (Approximately 180 degrees). Working quickly is key to maintaining operating temperature and familiarizing yourself with these instructions and organizing your tools/supplies will greatly help.

1: Turn off the truck and immediately drain the tranny pan extracting approximately 7-8 quarts of transmission fluid. We only to got 7 quarts. Pour the old fluid into your measuring container and record the results. Keeping track of fluid is critical when flushing the transmission as precisly measuring the ammount of old fluid out of the transmission will let you know how fliud still needs to go back in.

2: After draining the transmission pan, inspect the drain plug for debris. If debris is present, drop the pan, inspect and replace the internal filter. Ford recommends to change the transmission's internal filter every other fluid flush, which should occur at the 60,000 mile mark.
