How do you change trans fluid ford mustang 2006?

Answer 1

AUTOMATIC TRANS

• Drive the car to warm the Transmission Fluid to normal operating temp then position the car on a hoist on support it securely on four jackstands
• Postion a drain pan under the transmission then unscrew the transmission drain plug (the larger,outer plug on the transmission fluid pan) and allow the fluid to drain
• After the fluid has drained reinstall the drain plug and tighten it to torque
• On these transmissions the fluid is added through the check/fill plug.Two special tools are available for this purpose a fitting and a pressure pump.A hand pump equipped with a rubber hose can be used to pump the fluid up into the pan.The pump and rubber hose is attached to the fitting and fluid is pumped up into the transmission pan
• Slowly add two or three quarts of fluid.Periodically check the level by removing the pump and rubber hose from the fitting and observing for any excess fluid dripping down.Until transmission fluid begins to drip from the check/fill plug the transmission fluid level continues to be low.Once fluid flows then the transmission fluid level has reached the top of the measured tube positioned inside the pan.Wait until the excess fluid has dripped out of the pan.Install the check/fill plug and tighten it securely
• Start the engine and allow it to run until the fluid level in the transmission is 80-120 degrees.The manufacture states that a scan tool must be used to monitor the fluid temp.If you don't have a scan tool you will need a special to that mesures the oil/transmission fluid using infa-red technology or temperature probes with digital readout displays or last resort you can feel the fluid pan with your hand the transmission pan should be warm to the touch but not hot enough to cause pain
• Remove the check/fill plug again and see if any fluid does drain out,wait until the flow stops then reinstall the check/fill plug and tighten it to torque
