Detailed Description

Transmission fluid cleanliness is critical to transmission performance, and the filter is the first line of defense against contamination. ATP Parts TF-173 is designed for routine transmission service on many Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including 1990-2002 Ford F-150, 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty, 1998-2004 Lincoln Navigator, and 1998-2002 Ford Expedition. It also fits multiple E-Series van and wagon applications, plus Excursion and related truck platforms. This part cross-references Ford service numbers F3TP-7G186-AB and F6TZ-7A098-AB for the same application.

By replacing a clogged or worn transmission filter during service, TF-173 helps maintain fluid flow and reduces the chance of debris buildup that can affect shifting and internal operation. The ATP Parts TF-173 transmission filter kit is a direct-fit maintenance part for Ford and Lincoln automatic transmission service.

What It Helps Address

• Dirty transmission fluid from normal wear and tear
• Debris buildup that can restrict fluid flow
• Valve body contamination that can affect operation
• Service intervals where the transmission filter should be replaced
• Transmission maintenance on Ford F-150, F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, and Lincoln Navigator models

Installation Notes and Tips

Install TF-173 during a transmission service with the pan removed and the old filter inspected for debris. Verify the gasket style against the listed application notes before installation, since some fitments specify an aftermarket-style gasket for proper fitment and others note a 3rd hand gasket. Always confirm the vehicle year, make, model, and transmission configuration before ordering.
