To begin with, there is no dipstick in these cars, so how would you know if it needs it? In order to check it, it has to be raised up, leveled and at operating temperature and depending on the type od transmission, more likely a pump is necessary, best advise: take it to a professional shop, even better, to your nearest Ford dealer, that is what I normally do.

Yes, the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac does have a transmission filter. It is typically located inside the transmission pan, and its primary function is to filter out contaminants from the transmission fluid to ensure smooth operation. Regular maintenance, including changing the transmission fluid and filter, is important for the longevity and performance of the vehicle.
To check the transmission fluid on a 2007 Ford Sport Trac, first ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is warm. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick (usually near the back of the engine) and pull it out, wiping it clean before reinserting it. Remove it again to check the fluid level; it should be between the "hot" marks. Additionally, inspect the fluid's color and smell; it should be a clear red and not have a burnt odor.
