BRAKE FLUID DOT 3 IS WHAT IT CALLS FOR You can use dot 4 also but never dot 5, it is silicone based and will not mix, it is for racing only.

How do you change transmission fluid in a 1996 Ford Escort?
All you can do in your driveway is drop the trans pan, replace the trans filter, replace the trans pan gasket, install pan (no gasket sealer needed or required!) and refill what fluid drained out in the process which is aprox half of the fluid the trans holds. Take it to a trans shop if you want a complete fluid change. They will have the equipment to do a trans flush.
