I remove the VSS, and fill with 3.5 qts of fluid(syn preferably), then reinstall the vss...
You can use any SAE certified transmission fluid in your 1998 Ford escort manual transmission. Make sure the transmission fluid is for your manual transmission and not an automatic transmission.
To change the transmission fluid on the manual 1998 Ford Escort ZX2, drain the fluid from the drain hole near the speed sensor. Then refill the fluid using the plug in the side of the transmission.
the 2.0 Escape transmission is the same for a manual, not sure for automatic.
I believe that only 96-99 can be swapped 2000 and newer will not fit correctly.
manual transmissions are sealed and you cant do it like u would for a automatic. take it to the shop or somewhere that has the proper tools. also if it is a high milage trans buy changing the fulid u cause more problems then what its worth.
If you have an automatic transmission there is no drain plug, you'll have to drop the pan to change the fluid. If you have a manual transmission the drain plug is in the center on the bottom.
5 w 30 - according to the 1998 Ford Escort owners manual

Do not know.But to keep cost down I have a manual transmission for sale from a 1998 that is still good. Phone 618-286-0166 ask for Joe
It should.
No because they are different motors which means they are different transmissions.
I don't think so.
