For the years 2003 to 2007, the filter is a toilet paper roll type (Figure 10). This OEM designed filter, however, is to provide an additional superfine filtration process to normal transmission function. This filter functions similarly to the traditional aftermarket bypass filter installed after a unit is rebuilt to help collect any leftover metal missed in flushing and installation. The second is to check on the bypass filter.

It could also be making sure to install an additional aftermarket transmission oil cooler. That could be as simple as making sure the lines are properly flushed to ensure that there is no restriction of cooler flow. The first would be to eliminate the direct cause of overheating. Hot transmissions cause early failure of the torque converter and other components. Vehicles used to pull or haul loads almost always have overheating issues. The fix is outside, but do not attach the ground strap to the transmission. What has happened is that the bad ground has caused the pump gears to overheat and break, or appear to be welded to the pump assembly. Soon, there is a no-forward or reverse problem. Oftentimes, rebuilders are adding a ground strap to the transmission itself thinking this will cure the issue. The 5R110W is creating some legendary stories of bad symptoms related to poor grounding. A final pre-emptive move to make is to check the grounding on your unit.
