[AT] Modern Ford hydraulic problem - probably the same as older

[Grant Brians]

HL, I would like to thank you publicly for helping me on this issue. I found 
what had been done incorrectly as a result of the information you forwarded 
to me. It is really quite interesting. The manual had a clue and some wrong 
info that actually helped me understand what was going on. The person who 
had chaged the hydraulic filter on my 4610 had removed the old  hydraulic 
fluid (which turns out to be the differential/final drive fluid too) had 
refilled the transmission and not the hydraulic fluid in the separate 
compartment.... 8 gallons later it works fine.
