I went ahead and ordered a motor craft filter from advanced. It should be here in a couple of days. Thanks to all the advice and I'll post the results after I change it. Btw it's a five speed auto trans. Idk how I missed a gear lol.

Alright fellas, I've decided to change the trans filter. All I can find are car quest, duramax, or the house brand at orielys. I really wanna motor craft or fram but can't find it. Any suggestions on the best filter.

I don't know if it's ever been changed. I've been told that doing anything to it could possibly mess...

I'm new to this so forgive me if this isn't proper forum edict. I have a 97 explorer ohv with 150000 in it. I want to change the filter or fluid but I'm scared to cause any problems with it. It's the four speed auto trans. The fluid doesn't look too bad, but it is a lil brown. I have no idea if...
