Bought a used '90 Probe; a dealer repair involved adding transmission oil through the fitting that houses the speedometer cable. On the '90, that was seized; a replacement part was available only from Mazda. (The '90 has a Mazda 5 speed manual transmission.)
Where do I add transmission fluid to a 1994 Ford explorer with a manual transmission?
Same place you check it.
On a manual transmission there should be a flush plug that will directly accept a1/2" ratchet less the socket. Remove this to check manual transmission fluid and to add it. This plug can usually be found on the passenger side of the transmission just being the tire.
It depends on whether or not it is a manual or auto-tragic transmission. Either way it's a relatively simple process of removing a bolt on the bottom of the transmission case and then use a pump to add fluid. There is a full write up on pelican parts.
You add the type of manual transmission fluid specified in your owner's manual - nothing else.
A manual transmision doesnt use transmision fluid
Fill plug on the side of the transmission case.
the plug to add and check the transmission fluid is on the side of the transmission and only accessable from under the vehicle.
You check it and add fluid at the same place. Look on the transmission for a dipstick.
Careful here. The 1992 Ranger with a 5 speed manual required Automatic Transmission Fluid. Ford applications require Mercon-Desron II or III. Do NOT add the SAE60-90 gear oil to this vehicle, play it safe and add the ATF.
Year?
Under the car on the upper side of the transmission. There you will find a plug. Remove it. If fluid comes out you are full. If you stick you finger in the hole and can feel fluid, you are fine. If not, add the proper lube as outlined in your owner's manual.
