You have to remove the pan. Don't need to do it it unless it's plugged.

SOURCE: where is the transmission filter on a 97 mercury

It is under the drain pan. There is not a filter like on the engine. You have to take off the pan. Then the filter is right there!

SOURCE: where is the fuel filter on a 1997 mercury

  • Relieve the pressure in the fuel system by first removing the engine compartment relay panel cover on the left side. Then, remove the fuel pump relay from the relay pane and start the engine. Let it idle until it stalls, and then crank the engine for about 5 seconds to make sure the pressure was released. Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and support the Mercury Villager. Remove the fuel hose clamps, and then disconnect and plug the hoses to prevent them from leaking fuel. Take the fuel filter out of the bracket.

  • 3

    Install the new filter in the bracket with the arrow pointing toward the engin in direction that fuel flows through the system. Connect the fuel hoses to the new filter. Put on the hose clamps and tighten them. Make sure they are properly tightened so there are no fuel leaks, and that pressure is maintained at about 36 in-lbs.

    Lower the vehicle and reconnect the negative battery cable. Start the engine of your Mercury Villager, and check for leaks. Make repairs if necessary.

    SOURCE: 97 mercury sable began having transmission jerking problem, husband changed filter, ran fine on test drive, notice fluid leaking had to replace oil switch, while oil switch was off i didnt know it, I

    Well.....that really hurts it running it out of fluid to pick up.BUT.....4 qts is probably not enough . Make sure you have the proper level.
    Also,NEVER give up on a tranny until you try the SEA FOAMtransmission additive to straighten it out.

    Transmission slipping at low speeds

    Have the filter inside the transmission changed. If that doesn't solve the problem then the clutch plates have worn too much or the front pump is not supplying the correct fluid pressures. That would need a complete rebuild to fix.

    Transmission slipping 1995 mercury villager

    make sure there is enough fluid if there is you might want to have it re built or changethe filter but if it has over 75000 mi that might kill it but it is worth a try as you could still have it re built if a new filter kills it

    Transmission Knock

    this is most likely a transmission filter being dirty and it needs to be changed regularly as does the oil in your van. this is inside the transmission and needs to be serviced to complete this job i do not recommend you trying this by your self as you could damage your transmission.
