transmission filter

These are generic instructions but they cover the procedure pretty well:

I would add that you should lube the filter o-rings with ATF before installing the filter.
These instructions recommend weatherstrip adhesive on the pan gasket but the factory shop manual says to install the gasket dry. Your choice.
Besides heat, the other big enemy of automatics is dirt. Even a tiny speck of dirt in the wrong place can bring a modern automatic to its knees. Be sure that your tools, parts, hands and working environment are very clean. Don't work on an automatic outdoors on a windy day.
Check your owners manual for the correct type of ATF. Late model Ranger autos specify Mercon V but earlier Ranger automatics used Mercon. These are not the same and shouldn't be interchanged or mixed. Be sure that you buy the correct fluid for your year.

I have changed many and it is quite simple. I drop the pan, clean both surfaces with a wire brush on my die-grinder, put the new filter in, clean both surfaces and depending if you have the reusable gasket or not, you either put it back togeather with or without using rtv. It would also be smart to check your convertor for a drain plug as well. They quit using them a few years ago, but it's still always good to check.
