OH and once you pull the old filter make sure the rubber seal comes out of the valve body, they usually stick, be very careful not to scratch that hole when you pop it out with a small crow foot or bent screwdriver. If you don't get it out the new filter will not seat and cause a no pull situation as it will be sucking air instead of fluid.
Seal came out with the filter. Fluid looked good, but it's definitely nice to know for certain since I didn't put the first 67K on it. Not much sediment on the magnet either.
I've got a tad bit of white smoke from under the hood after I let it warm up for 10 minutes. I shifted through all the gears without issue. I'll go lay down under it while it runs, but guessing it's burn off from fluid that got elsewhere?
Should I let it warm up (then cool off for a few) and top it off?

That picture right there proves Ford's recommendation of change intervals, you have almost 70,000 miles and it's a pretty pink, that trans would have easily gone way past 150,000 without changing. The magnet and pan both clean is exactly the way a healthy trans should be. They don't pay 6 digits on engineers salary for nothing.
As close as the exhaust system is to the trans dip stick/pan area it's highly likely you got some on the pipes and is burning off.
