secondary filter finally on-now some advice
So before I go on, let me say that I did read this entire post (all 21 pages of it) twice. So if the answer is in there, I missed it. So here it goes. Does anyone know which transmission line is the output line from the pan on a 2003 Explorer? THe reason I ask is because I tested it, and found that it was the bottom line, so I hooked the secondary filter up that way. I finished the setup, added some fluid and turned the vehicle on. Let it run for a long while, checking for leaks. Couldn't find any, so I took a ride around the block. Still nothing in terms of leaks and seemed to be shifting smoother (could be my imagination, or the increase in fluid capacity). So I went for a ride where I was flooring it more and shifting more frequently. All went well and nothing seemed wrong. Went to check the filter, it wasn't hot or really even warm. Seemed odd since everyone on here says that is the way to tell if fluid is flowing. Now, it was only 45 degrees and raining when I went for a drive and the shifting was fantastic. Did I hook it up correctly? Is the bottom transmission line, from the pan, the output line? I'm just nervous that I did it wrong. I don't see how, but still nervous. I used the Fram shortie filter. (I know, I know, they are crap, going to get a different brand later). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
