Hope this helps, the filter on your car requires transaxle removal and dissasembly to replace, this should never need done unless the transaxle needs an overhaul. The only required service is a fluid change, the instructions are below.

NOTE: Ford does not provide a procedure to service the transmission filter seperately from the transmission overhaul. For location of the filter - refer to Automatic Transmission/Service and Repair/Disassembly. The filter is referred to near step 40.

FLUID CHANGE

NOTE: Automatic transaxle fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles if the vehicle operates for prolonged periods at idle or below 30°F, is driven regularly in dusty conditions, or on salted, muddy, or rough road surfaces or if contamination is suspected.



Raise and support vehicle, then place a suitable container beneath transaxle drain plug.
Remove plug and allow fluid to drain. NOTE: If an internal transaxle problem is suspected, drain fluid through a suitable paper filter. While a small accumulation of metal or friction particles may indicate normal wear, an excessive amount warrants further internal transaxle service.
Clean drain plug threads and apply a thin coat of Teflon pipe sealant No. D8AZ-19554-A or equivalent. Install drain plug and tighten.
Lower vehicle, then add 6 quarts of Mercon ATF or equivalent to transaxle.
Start engine, then move selector lever through all gear ranges. Check fluid level and add as required.
