The engine and transmission must be a normal operating temperature before attempting to read the fluid level on the dipstick. Drive the car a few miles, then while stopped with the brakes applies, put it in each gear slowly and return to Park in the same manner. Leave the engine running, then check the dipstick level. If it is low, add a little bit at a time and recheck the level. You will do great harm to the transmission by overfilling it, so that is why to add a little amount at a time to make sure it does not get over filled.

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
