What does the ATP B-31 filter kit do?
It filters debris out of the automatic transmission fluid so contaminated fluid isn't circulated, helping keep the valve body and other internal components from clogging.
Which vehicles does the B-31 kit fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for a range of classic Ford and Mercury applications, such as the 1968-1972 Galaxie 500, 1968-1970 Custom 500, and 1969-1970 E-100 Econoline. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

Replace it at the service interval specified in your vehicle's service information. Regular filter changes help extend transmission life and reduce the risk of avoidable repairs.
