Yes if you are replacing tranny then yes you will have to drain it out unless you want a mess im sure you dont, so drain it out just 2 plugs on it and 2 min later replace plugs it will be empty by then.
How many quarts of transmission fluid does a 2004 Taurus 3.0 OHV require when draining transmission and replacing filter
I am not a mechanic, but I know you have a problem. I would suggest draining the transmission and replacing it with the proper fluid. I wouldn't drive it because I think that might worsen the problem.
Sometimes draining the transmission fluid and replacing the filter will solve this problem. If it persists the transmission may need to be rebuilt.
Some of transmission doesn't have drain plug ,the best thin to drain your transmission is losing the bolts and draining slowly the fluid ,at least that you have a machine to drain the entire fluids.
how do you check transmission fluids
This requires pulling off the transmission pan, draining the fluid and replacing both the filter and the pan gasket. The kit containing the replacement parts is under $20 at major auto parts stores.
If you feel like replacing a transmission soon, sure. Otherwise, no.
Yes. If you do not want a big mess, I would suggest draining the tranny fuild before pulling out the half-shafts (axles)
The location for adding/draining fluid depends on the TYPE of transmission on the vehicle. Automatic or manual?
Alot of transmission fluids are the same as power steering fluid so I wouldnt worry
Oil, Antifreeze, Power steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant...
Whatever seal the fluid is coming out.
