Most generally if the valve body starts sticking the cause is usually from contaminated fluid. Like metal particles or clutch particle's. If that's the case the transmission needs to checked for abnormal wear. If the transmission has been rebuilt the cause could be from contamination of the trans cooling system that hasn't been properly flushed. Also note if the valves are Teflon coated and someone has tried to clean them using something more than a soft cloth the Teflon coating will peal off causing them to stick. Also note if its been rebuilt and is clean the valve body could be over torqued causing the valve body to be distorted.
The transmission on a 2000 mercury Cougar is on the drivers side. If your planning on removing the tranny, the subframe must be removed. If your wanting to change the filter you are out of luck...it is deep inside the transmission. The pan on the side of the tranny toward the front of the car covers the valve body.
if the engine is a 4.6 then you can find it on the left side (looking from front) on the valve cover, it is a little pipe sticking out of it and has rubbertiny tubes going from it
The positive crankcase ventilation valve on a 2002 Mercury Cougar is located on top of the engine; in the valve cover. It removes harmful fumes from the engine.
I heard there was an internal filter. I got a trany kit with filter and took the pan off but there was no filter there, just the valve bodies.
The evaporator emission system control valve on the 1996 Mercury Cougar is located on the left side of the car. It is in the passenger side headlight area.
Usually on the pass side valve cover
bleeder valve on cooling system
NO it don't. It is a electronic controlled transmission.
In the valley under the upper intake.
The 2001 Mercury Cougar does not contain Freon. Freon was banned in 1996. I suggest you take this vehicle to someone who has the knowledge, tools, and skill, to repair the A/C system.
Low fluid level or sticking check ball or sticking valve body.
on the back right side connected to the intake manifold close to the firewall
