Is the transmission on a 1998 ford escort sealed?
There are a number of seals in it. However if you mean can fluid be changed and added YES. You have to drop the tranny pan on automatics to drain them, and there should be a fill and a drain plug in a manual tranny.
Can you put new fluid in old trans?
depending how old the tranny and how well it has been maintained...yes. If this is your scheduled fluid and filter change 100,000 miles or less then absolutely. If you are just topping off levels go ahaed. However, if you are reinstating a used tranny and are putting new fluid into it, PAying great attention to the surface outlining seals and the seals will greatly improve your odds, od tranny fluid does get debris in it that does not get caught by the filter so if you were to put used tranny fluid in with new, make sure it is free of debris.

Can you use transmission fluid as brake fluid?
This question has appeared here before, and the answer is still no!Transmission fluid and brake fluid are two differentfluids. One of them (tranny fluid) works as a hydraulic agent like brake fluid, but also works as a coolant and lubricant, and it helps your transmission to grip the bands to transfer power. If it is low, the transmission will slip.Brake fluid is basically just a hydraulic fluid (though it does lubricate a bit), and it pushes caliper pistons which move brake pads against the brake rotor or brake bands which move against the inside of the brake drum. Brake fluid eats paint for breakfast, so you don't want that on the finish of your car. Keep reading 'cause there's more.Note: The real issue here is what the fluid does to the seals in the transmission or the brake system. These seals are specially formulated rubber, and the wrong fluid in them will work for a short while, but will permanently damage those seals. At that point, they will leak and all the seals in the system will have to be replaced and the system flushed and filled with the correct fluid. (If it's a transmission, you'll have to replace the bands and a few other parts as well as the seals. The bands are somewhat porous and absorb fluid.) It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the issue here. Be smart. Consult a car expert or even a competent parts supplier for the correct fluid for your brake system or transmission.PS: M-EightTotally true my friend if put brake fluid in tranny simple way to say it is all seals will get eaten up by the toxics in brake fluid and tranny will leak like crazy, but he is asking about tranny fluid in brakes which will cause leaks like mad because of tranny fluid is alot thiner then brake fluid.Dont do it kids ! LOL
Your 1999 ford escort automatic transmission is leaking fluid?
Replace the gasket on the transmission pan and insect the seals on the transmission where your driveshafts come out
95 escort goes in rev not drive but will move fwd in low then at 20 mph you can put it in drive at stop sign same thing have to start in low speed the drive just spent 750 on gaskets seals?
If you spent 750 on new tranny seals, that is insane, sounds like you should have spent a bit less then 2x on a new tranny. Check the fluid level and if its brownish, change it and the filter. Check the linkage as well and the downshift cable JayWalt cooldude@ilovejesus.net
What causes burnt transmission fluid?
When an automatic tranny is overstressed ( high speed, heavy load, mountains, or just too small for vehicle ) , excess heat will build up. This can burn tranny fluid, which is easy to replace. It also burns seals and gaskets, which means a rebuild, which is expensive.
What happens if there is too much transmission fluid in 350 old transmission?
Your tranny will start to slip and damage trans. Too much fluid can cause the transmission to blow seals. Drain out the excess, immediately.
Does the transmission filter on 96 thunderbird need to be replaced?
if the fluid in your T- bird has never been changed before... DO NOT change it now unless your ready to pay for a tranny overhaul or a rebilt. The new fluid will (9 times out of 10) cause your seals to start leaking. ask a tranny expert who is not after your business.
