How can you lubricate a 1990 Mercury Tracer speedometer cable?

You can do it the hard way by removing the gauge cluster in the car, or you can pull the cable out of the speedometer gear in the transaxle. This should give you enough room to pull it out and oil it. I recommend graphite lubricant. Also, make sure you push the cable back into the tube ALL the way, or obviously it won't work at all.

How do you check the transmission fluid level in a 1989 Mercury Tracer?
I have a 89 tracer with a 5 speed manual transmission. When I had the transmission oil changed they removed the speedometer cable from the transmission and filled it through the odometer drive mounting hole. I laughed at the mechanic but he said that was the only way to do it. If there is no other hole to check the oil I guess you may have to pull the odometer cable to check it!!! Hope this helps you out. RG
