Default What transmission filter do i need

After I picked up my F-150 I noticed that after it's been sitting a while that putting it in drive takes a second or to so the plan is to put new fluid and filter in. Looking on line and it looks like there is two different filters to choose from. I have a 98 F-150 with a 4.6 V8, auto, 4x4.

You will need to get under your rig to see what trans you have. Take a pic or two to show the guy at the parts counter

The trans code is on the door jam place card as well. You have the 4r70w.
