Hey Eric==Pull the trans pan and filter then replace the filter and pan and about 4 quarts of fluid. GoodluckJoe
In the owners manual, it states that you do not need to change the automatic transaxle fluid. But you should check it. Unfortunally, you'll need to raise the car, and then drain it to see if you have the correct amount, and if it needs to be changed. There is no dipstick, and this is the only way to check the fluids levels.
the first answer is is the best but if you pull the pan its actually 6.9 quarts to refill

There is not one. The transmission pan must be removed to change transmission fluid and filter.
All automatic transmission and transaxle filters are internal.
Yes, the automatic transaxle has a metal mesh/screen type of filter. They are designed to be cleaned and reused - as they trap only excessively large particles from being recirculated in the transaxle.
It has no filter on the trans-axle. If you are talking about the transmission filter, then it is inside the transmission.
3.5 to 4 quarts with a filter change on the 4 speed auto.
Yes if it is an automatic. Checking fluid level on these are a treat.
I was looking at one of the Ford websites and it shows for the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) used with the 1.9 litre four cylinder engine in a 1991 Ford Escort : ( yes , Motorcraft FT-123 filter inside the transaxle pan )
the automatic transaxle fluid is-- dexron III, transaxle fluid. fluid and filter change is-- 7 quarts, from dry, including torque converter is 13 quarts, all capacities are approximate, add as necessary to bring to proper level. good-day!
Transaxle filter?? Does not have one. It does however have a transmission filter that is located inside the transmission.
