How do you change the transmission filter on a 98 Ford Contour?

I have a 98 Ford Contour SE Zetec 2.0 engine. 100k miles and automatic transmission, not sure what transmission it is. I was just thinking about changing the filter and gasket after a fluid flush.



thx

mh1205How do you change the transmission filter on a 98 Ford Contour?first thing is go to auto zone and get about 7 quarts of tranny oil and get a new filter and gasket,then jack up the front end and then its a good idea to let it cool down first,thentake out the bolts and let it drain into a pan and after it gets all drained out,take the rest of the bolts out and drop the pan and clean off all old sealer on the pan and the tranny,now pull down the old filter and put a new o-ring on the new filter and put it in where the old filter came out of,now put the new gasket on the pan (if you want to,you can put some sealer on both sides or the gasket)and install the pan and gasket and put the bolts back in(just snug them up,dont overtighten them or you could warp the pan).now let the car back down and put in,ill say about 4 quarts of oil and start the car(let it idle)go through all the gears and then back in park,let it run and fill it until its just about a half pint low,then take it for a drive and come back and check the oil,if it needs some fill it to the full mark.i hope this helps you out.How do you change the transmission filter on a 98 Ford Contour?I did this on my car which is also a 1998 ford contour and i took the pan out..but all i saw is something electrical with a whole bunch of wires. I did drain the transmission oil i got the transmission filter from pepboys.autozone doesnt carry the filter for this car.where to install filter?
