The manual transmission on a 91 Ford Escort GT is filled with fluid by gently depressing the clutch with the engine off. Fluid is added to the reservoir until the level stops going down.
My Haynes manual says to fill it by removing the speed sensor.
The 91 and newer car you fill though the speedo cable
If you have the 1.9L, you have to take the speedo cable assembly out and there will be the hole to fill your transmission fluid
There is a fluid check/fill plug located on the front of the transmission. Add fluid there until it is level with the bottom of the hole.?æ
I remove the VSS, and fill with 3.5 qts of fluid(syn preferably), then reinstall the vss...
A manual transaxle requires 2.9 quarts of MERCON automatic transmission fluid. Fill at speedometer cable connection.
Manual transmissions don't have dipsticks. The only way to check the transmission fluid is to open the fill plug on the side of the transmission. The fluid should be level with the fill hole so it should pour out slowly when you remove it, just a small steady stream. If it does not, it means it is below the fill plug and you should add a little at a time until it is level with the fill plug.
QUOTE::::On the side of the transmission there will be a plug. remove the plug and check the fluid level. If fluid pours out when you remove it, that means the transmission is full.. if not, add fluid through this hole till it pours out. This information is completely wrong! There is no fill plug on the escort GT manual trans.. the fill hole and level check are the speed sensor... remove the 10mm bolt twist and pull up the speed sensor, re-fill, and if the plastic gear on the speed sensor is wet, it is full.
No dipstick on the manual transmission , fluid level is checked underneath the car at the transmission fill plug
If it is an automatic, then you add fluid the same place you check it. Purchase a filter desingned for this purpose. It is is a manual transmission you add fluid at th transmission. There is a plug near the top on the side. fill it until the lubricant runs out. It is now full. Check your owner's manual for the proper fluid or lube in case it is manual. Some use a lube and some use A/T fluid even if it is a manual.
you fill it the same way you check it same hole
It takes six or seven quarts of transmission fluid to fill it in an escort zx2. Its good to buy an extra one in case it's needed.
