According to the 1998 Mercury Sable Owner Guide : ( Motorcraft MERCON-V automatic transmission fluid )
On a 1996 Mercury Sable : The automatic transaxle ( transmission ) fluid level dipstick is near the firewall and the brake fluid reservoir ( looking from the FRONT of the vehicle it is to the left of the reservoir )
Manuel or automatic
Down the same tube that holds trans dipstick. Use a trans funnel, long, flexible and correct size.
My Haynes book says that all Ford Taurus(es) & Mercury Sable(s) from 1986-1990 use Motorcraft Type F automatic transmission fluid for the power steering fluid. The transmission fluid doubles as the power steering fluid.FYI 1986 and 1987 automatic trans-axle fluid is Motorcraft Type H automatic transmission fluid and 1988 onward is Motorcraft Mercon automatic transmission fluid.The brand doesn't matter so much as the right type of fluid.Hope this helps.
Its on top of the trans as you're looking down. Its not internal. I've replaced mine on my 1997 Sable.

Solenoid in trans
