VEHICLE REPAIR
Fluid Pan, Gasket and Filter
1. Normal maintenance requires periodic automatic transmission fluid changes. If a major repair, such as a clutch, band, bearing, etc., is required, the automatic transmission will also have to be
removed for repair. At this time, the torque converter, transmission cooler and tubes must be
thoroughly flushed to remove any dirt. The transmission fluid needs to be changed if evidence
of fluid contamination is found. When used under continuous or severe conditions, the
transmission and torque converter should be drained and refilled with fluid as specified.
2. CAUTION: Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning
agents. The use of these products could cause internal transmission components to fail;
this will effect the operation of the transmission.
CAUTION: Use of a fluid other than specified could result in transmission failure.
Refer to the vehicle certification label affixed to the LH front door lock face panel or door pillar
for the transmission code.
3. When filling a dry transmission and torque converter, refer to General Specifications chart in this section for capacity. Check the fluid level.
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable. For additional information, refer to Section 414 - 01 .
2. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer to Section 100 - 02 .
3. Place a drain pan under the transmission fluid pan.
4. Drain transmission fluid. zLoosen the transmission fluid pan bolts and allow fluid to drain. After fluid is drained
remove the bolts.

filter, install a new in- line fluid filter kit.
z If the transmission is being installed for a non- internal repair, do not install an in-line filter
or filter kit.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Air Conditioning (A/C) System Flushing
WARNING: Use extreme care and observe all safety and service precautions related to the
use of refrigerants.
WARNING: Due to refrigerant hazards, always wear safety goggles and non- penetrable
gloves when working on or flushing A/C systems.
CAUTION: An A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's
A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts the shop's bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the
vehicle's A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to the service facility that carried
out the last A/C service. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery
equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated
A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the
equipment manufacturer's procedures and instructions.
CAUTION: Suction accumulator/drier, muffler, hoses, thermal expansion valve, and fixed
orifice tube should be removed when flushing the A/C system. Internal plumbing of these
devices makes it impossible to correctly remove any residual- flushing agent. Except for the
hoses, these components are typically discarded after A/C system contamination. Hoses can
normally be reused unless they are clogged with foreign material. The 3.785 liters (1 gallon) of
A/C Systems Flushing Solvent F4AZ-19579- A and FL1-A filter used in A/C Flush and Purge
Machine 219- 00022 are intended for use on one vehicle only. They may be used to flush both
the A/C condenser core and the A/C evaporator core on an individual vehicle, but under no
circumstances should they be used on more than one vehicle.
1. NOTE: Prior to using the A/C Flush and Purge Machine 219- 00022 for the first time, review the
operating instructions.
NOTE: Only the A/C Flush and Purge Machine kit 219- 00023, which includes A/C Flush and
Purge Machine 219- 00022, A/C Flush and Purge Fitting Kit 219- 00024, and the Ford Part
number F4AZ-19579- A A/C Systems Flushing Solvent, is approved for use on Ford vehicles. No
other flushing device or solvent is approved for flushing heat exchangers. Use of any other
flusher or solvent may cause damage to the A/C system and the flushing unit.
