Aluminum replacement pan for Ford 4R70W, 4R75W and AOD-E with gasket, filter and magnetic drain plug, so the next fluid service is a plug pull.
Planning a fluid and filter service on a Ford F-150, Expedition, E-Series, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder or Town Car, and the old pan is leaking, rusted or bent? This kit does the whole job in one box. It is an aluminum replacement pan for the 4R70W, 4R75W, 4R75E and AOD-E, crossing to 265-813, 6L3Z-7A194-A, F3AZ-7A194-A and F6AZ-7A194-A, and it includes the gasket, a filter, the pan bolts and a magnetic drain plug.
The 4R70W draws all of its fluid through a single filter in the pan, and everything the pump, valve body and clutches wear off settles back into that pan. Ford's factory pan has no drain plug, so servicing it means pouring a pan of fluid over the crossmember. Because this kit pairs a fresh filter with a plugged aluminum pan, the first service is a complete filter change and every service after that can be a clean drain and refill through the plug. Ford's 2003 maintenance schedule only called for a 4R70W fluid and filter change at 150,000 miles under normal use, but it moved the fluid change to 30,000 miles for towing, extended idling and similar severe duty, which describes most of the trucks and police cars these units went into.
Check the level hot in park first; a low level from a leak causes many of the same symptoms as a clogged filter. When you drop the old pan, read what is in it before you throw it out. Fine gray paste on the magnet is normal wear. Heavy friction material, brass or chunks of steel mean the unit needs diagnosis beyond a filter. Our filter and pan service guide shows what to look for, and the Expedition common problems guide covers the faults that tend to show up in the pan on the big trucks.
The pan fits the 14-bolt pan pattern on the 4R70W, 4R75W, 4R75E and AOD-E in the F-150, Expedition, E-Series vans, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, Mustang, Thunderbird, Cougar, Town Car and Mark VIII and Mark LT. The filter is where variations matter: Ford used different filters on some applications, including 2WD and 4WD trucks, and pan makers' instructions call out specific filter part numbers. Compare the included filter's pickup and neck to your old one before installing, and send us your year and VIN if you are unsure. Other service parts are on the 4R70W collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
The aluminum pan, a pan gasket, a transmission filter, pan bolts and a magnetic drain plug, so a complete pan and filter service can be done with this kit and fluid.
Ford used different filters on some 4R70W applications. Compare the included filter to the one you remove, especially the pickup and neck length, or send us your year and VIN before installing.
Ford's severe-duty schedule for these trucks was a fluid change every 30,000 miles for towing, heavy idle time and similar use. With the drain plug, that is a quick plug pull and refill with MERCON V.
If the delay comes from a restricted filter or low fluid, yes. If it continues after a correct fill, the cause is more likely worn seals, the pump or the valve body, and the guides linked on this page cover the next steps.
Both are aluminum pans for the same 14-bolt pattern. This kit adds the filter and pan bolts; the 265-813 listing is the finned pan with drain plug and gasket only.
