So I'm going to be installing the FTVB tomorrow or Friday... I went to the Ford dealer to pick up the Mercon and a new tranny filter.

I'm keeping my stock pan - so I give them the part number listed on the install sheet. The parts guy says that is not a part that is listed in the system (F3TZ-7G186-AB) He says that the filter for the 4R100 is YC3Z-7A098-AA... He also said there was one other filter for the 4R100, but that the two are basically the same.

So I'm turning to you guys for help! What gives - is this just another Ford Parts guy that can't do his job?

Thanks In Advance,
Jeff

 

there are two filters. one for the deep pan and one for the stock pan

 

Yes, but neither one of the part numbers listed matched either part number Ford gave me....

 

Alldata shows part #YC327A098BA Hope that helps.

 

,what he said.

 

The filters are availible for aboout half the price from AutoZone etc... as Deutch TF-350 for the stock shallow pan and TF-325 for the deep pan. It's the exact same part as the Ford ones (which have Motorcraft Numbers, I think F-113 and F-114) just without the Motorcraft box.

hope this helps,

G

 

Thanks everyone.... went to autozone and picked it up. Took 2 mins - unlike the 30 mins at the Ford dealer.

Doing the install tomorrow!
