2022 ford transit connect transmission fluid change

When I get a chance to get my Transit Connect up in the air, I will have to take a good look around.  

Dealerships have a machine that connects to the cooling and return line on the transmission.  As the engine is running, the old fluid comes out of the cooling line, and new fluid goes in via the return line from the cooler.  In the old days, we would simply disconnect the cooling line, and allow the fluid to pump into a 5 gallon bucket.  Then add fluid in via the fill plug located on the transmission case or a funnel in the dipstick hole.  This home-brew process has worked on just about every car I've tried it on.  Simple, right?  Turn engine on, a few quarts comes out, turn engine off, add a few quarts.  Then repeat until you start seeing clean fluid come out the cooling line.  Reconnect the cooling line.  Check fill level, top off as needed.

My trusty Haynes Manual always came in handy when it came to figuring out which hose was the cooling line, and which hose was the return.  And on other Fords I've worked on, you needed special tools for things like transmission lines and fuel lines.  It would be a good idea to pick up a set, if this van has a fuel filter and you need to change it also.

Does this van have an inline fuel filter along the driver side frame rail?  

The only problem with special purpose tools is that you then get stuck with something that you'll probably never use again.  Like my Ford Fan Clutch Removal Tool.  Just used it once to install an electric fan into my Explorer, and now it sits there.  Of course, $20 was well spent considering how I messed around with a couple of wrenches all day, and then this tool allowed me to do what I wanted in 2 minutes.  I doubt if I'll ever remove the fan from another Explorer.  Won't be able to do the same with this Transit Connect, since it already has an electric fan.  

Just like the SCT LiveWire that I used on the Explorer, that I can't use on this Transit Connect.  Who is writing custom tunes for Transit Connect?
