| The new filter element being pre-soaked in filter housing. Fill the filter housing about 1/3 full with Mercon SP transmission fluid.

| Trying to install the filter while in the housing back on the filter base is almost impossible. I had to remove the filter element from the housing and install it onto the filter base. The filter element and base cap hang from the filter base while the element housing is screwed back on (and while this picture was being taken). | |||||||||||||
