The fluid level in a transmission will not change unless it leaks.
If it is an automatic transmission, you add transmission fluid with a long funnel through the dipstick opening.
as long as it is an automatic transmission, you put ATF in
remove the transmission dipstick and use a long nose funnel and with the vehicle running in idle add atf (automatic transmission fluid) to the vehicle
Yes as long as it is automatic transmission.
If it is automatic transmission you can use any brand of tranny fluid as long as it is AF fluid. If it is a manual transmission then use dot 3 brake fluid unless you can find clutch fluid, both work the same.
Checking and adding Tranny fluid.There is a dipstick for the transmission fluid on all automatic transmissions, which is separate from the engine oil dipstick. The tube the dipstick sits in is the only place where fluid can be added. You will probably need the funnel with the really long, skinny neck, to be able to get the fluid into the tube. Be careful not to overfill the transmission, and be sure that you have the right kind of transmission fluid. The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked with the engine running, the transmission in Park or Neutral, and on a level surface. DO NOT PUT ENGINE OIL IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION!
Your 1995 Ford Escort might take a long time to shift between gears because the transmission fluid is low or very dirty. An automatic transmission requires the correct amount of fluid to operate properly.
That is a scary situation. The best, and cheapest, thing you can do is immediately replace the gasket. You can keep driving it with a slow leak, but you will have to keep putting transmission fluid in it. Which will cost you more in the long run. If you replace that gasket now, You won't have to worry about constantly re-filling the transmission fluid.
Most automatic transmissions do not have a filler plug or cap. The transmission fluid is added by using a long-neck funnel, which is placed in the tube the dipstick for the transmission sits in. Be sure to test the level while the engine is running, with the transmission in either park or neutral. Be very careful not to over fill the transmission, and make sure that you have the right kind of transmission fluid for your vehicle.
Indefinitely. Longer if you get the leak fixed sooner than later and never let the fluid level get too low.
The transmission fluid in an automatic transmission is added through the same tube that the dipstick sits in. For adding fluid, it is best to purchase a long-neck funnel, which is made just for this purpose. Be careful not to overfill the transmission. Always check the fluid level with the engine running, the transmission in either 'park' or 'neutral', and the vehicle on level ground.
About 6.5 qts. for a filter change, depends on how long you let it drain though. And about 17 for a dry transmission.
