Went to change my automatic trans filter and in the pan was a small yellow plunger looking thing with and O-ring on it. Anyone know where this goes? It was just laying in the pan.
Thanks..
It's supposed to be there. Ford uses it to plug the dipstick hole in the tranny before the dipstick gets installed. When the dipstick tube is installed, it falls on the bottom of the transmission pan. They all have one if the pan has never been off.
OK cool. I figured it was something like that since there are no holes it fits in except the dipstick. Got worried after the clowns at the parts strore told me it's some kind of over pressure valve.
Boy I'm glad I found this post. Had my son change my fluid last night and we found the plug also. WE looked for an hour trying to figure out where it would go. Just finally gave up and put the pan back on and filled it with fluid. Every thing was fine afterward so we figured it was just a left over from production.
yeah, im about to go put mine back together after searching here to find out what it is.... i just wanted to change mine today, and had no idea where it came from.
good to know now though !!!
