I drained the pan on my new XLT, dropped the pan, replaced the filter with one purchased at Autozone. I installed the new filter, put the pan back on and refilled the trans while running until the fluid came out of the fill hole.
Cycling through the gears the transmission would not engage even with extended idling. Forced another 2.5 quarts into the pan and plugged before it could run out allowed the gears to engage but it will slip when starting from a stand still. I drained the extra fluid out (quite warm) and the truck will once again not engage.
I haven't pulled the filter back out yet to see if there are any drastic differences but that is the only thing I can think that is wrong. This pickup isn't long enough to get into the fluid.
I hate these sealed transmissions!
