Dipstick WILL be on the right hand side of the engine back near the firewall. You may have to push some wires or hoses out of the way but it IS there, it will have a yellow or red top. Just look until you find it or you will burn the tranny.
If it is an automatic the dipstick is right next to the brake fluid master cylinder reservoir. If it is a stick shift there is not dipstick.
is it an automatic, or manual shift?
Linkage adjust
need to know if it is and automatic or a standard shift transmission Automatic has no dipstick to check trans fluid.
forget to tell, the car as an automatic transmission
You can do anything you want with money but it would be much cheaper to just buy another escort that is a standard shift.
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.
Both the automatic and stick shift take Mercon ATF. The automatic is filled by putting a funnel on the dipstick stem. The stick shift you have to remove the VSS and speedometer drive gear on the top of the tranny. This gear has been known to break and fall down into the case jamming the shift rods. No more 5 speed. If this happens the transmission has to come out to remove it. It will be expensive. So, if someone else is doing the work and that happens........it will save you $1400.
The shift interlock solenoid is located inside the console close to the shfiter.
It's the brake switch. It tells your break lights to come on.
If it is an automatic, then all cars have dipsticks. But if the Saturn is a stick-shift it wont have a dipstick. Edit: all cars don't have tranny dipsticks, my sister in law has a 2004 Saturn Ion L2 and there is no visible dipstick.. (still looking, cant seem to find an answer ANYWHERE)
Acceleration could be impactedBut if it's an automatic, your car would have trouble shifting. Either take too long to shift or shift too early.The easiest thing to do is open the hood and check the dipstick.
