Filter and pan gasket for the Ford 4R70W, 4R75W and 4R75E; replaces OE FT105 / F6AZ-7A098-A on F-150, Mustang, Expedition, Crown Victoria and Town Car.
This is the routine service filter and pan gasket for the Ford 4R70W, 4R75W and 4R75E, the four-speed automatic behind the 4.6L and 5.4L V8 in the F-150, Mustang, Expedition, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Town Car and E-Series vans. If you are due for a fluid service, chasing a pan weep, or hearing pump whine and slow engagement on a high-mileage unit, this kit is the inexpensive first step. It replaces FT105, F6AZ-7A098-A and 58955 for the stock 14-bolt pan.
The 4R70W has no drain plug and no external spin-on filter. Everything the pump pulls into the transmission passes through this one pickup filter on the bottom of the valve body, so it sits on the suction side of the whole hydraulic system. As clutch and band material wears, the filter traps it before it reaches the pump gears and the valve body bores. When the media loads up, the pump has to pull harder, the fluid aerates, and line pressure drops under load. That shows up as whine, delayed engagement, soft shifts and heat. The gasket matters as much as the filter: a weeping pan slowly lowers the level until the pickup starts sucking air on stops and turns.
Check the fluid hot and level first. Ford's procedure is to drive about 20 miles, run the shifter through every range with your foot on the brake, then read the dipstick in Park with the engine running. Dark, burnt-smelling fluid or friction debris on the magnet means the clutches are already wearing, and a filter will not reverse that. Our 4R70W filter and pan service guide shows how to read the pan and the old filter, and the high-mileage service checklist covers what else to look at on a unit with over 150,000 miles.
This kit fits the 4R70W, 4R75W and 4R75E with the factory shallow pan, including the F-150 from 1996 to 2010, Mustang 1996-2004, Expedition 1997-2006, Crown Victoria 1996-2011, the Town Car, Grand Marquis, Mountaineer and E-150, E-250 and E-350 vans. It is the valve-body pickup filter, not a deep-pan filter. If your truck already has an aftermarket deep pan, use the filter that pan maker specifies: the B&M cast deep pan instructions name Ford F6AZ-7A098-A, while Mag-Hytec specifies F2VY-7A098-A for its pan. Compare your old filter to the numbers above before ordering, or send us your year and VIN. More service parts are in our 4R70W parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
This is the stock shallow-pan filter. With an aftermarket deep pan, use the filter the pan maker specifies so the pickup sits at the right depth.
One transmission filter and one pan gasket for the stock 14-bolt pan.
Only the fluid in the pan comes out, so it takes far less than Ford's 13.9 quart dry-fill figure. Add a few quarts, then set the final level with the dipstick hot.
Ford's 2003 normal schedule lists a fluid and filter change at 150,000 miles, with fluid changes every 30,000 miles for towing and other severe use. Many owners service it sooner.
The most common causes are a filter that is not fully seated, the old neck seal left in the bore, or the wrong fluid level. Recheck all three before suspecting anything else.
