2018 expedition transmission cooler

[expeditionmike361]

Howdy everyone. I’m the owner of a 2018 Ford Expedition with 77k miles. I am changing the transmission fluid but I’m having issues finding the seal where the trans cooler goes into the side of the transmission. The trans cooler seal from the f-150 cooler (part # 5L7Z7D285A) located on the side of the transmission is available. But the seals for the expedition (part # LX6Z7D285A) are on back order. Since both F-150 and expedition share the same 10R80 transmission will the F-150 seal fit on the expedition? I called multiple dealers and they don’t know. Thanks in advance for the help

Why don't you pull the line off the bottom of the AC condenser up front and leave the transmission seal alone?

I have to remove the transmission pan to replace the filter

Oh what a glorious PITA that job is. Probably not often done. I'm sure most owners would only do a flush, if even that. Good luck. Take pics.

Doesn’t seem too bad. I’m getting a shake at 70+ mph. I’m thinking the transmission fluid is old and not building up pressure like it should.
