On a 1997 Mercury Tracer : The AUTOMATIC transmission fluid dipstick would be on the side of the transmission ( transaxle ) in the area of the brake fluid reservoir . The manual transmission ( transaxle ) does not have a dipstick
According to the 1997 Mercury Tracer Owner Guide : For the automatic and manual transaxle ( transmission ) ( Motorcraft MERCON Multi Purpose automatic transmission fluid )
Dexron/mercon
The Mercury Sable transmission has a fluid capacity of 12 quarts. You can use any SAE certified automatic transmission fluid.
The 1995 Mercury Tracer typically has a fuel tank capacity of approximately 13.2 gallons (50 liters). The vehicle's engine options vary, and it generally features a manual or automatic transmission, but the specific transmission capacity isn't usually quantified in the same way as fuel. For fluid capacities, the automatic transmission holds about 9 quarts of transmission fluid, while manual transmissions may vary based on the specific type used. Always refer to the owner's manual for precise specifications.
To add transmission fluid to a 1997 Mercury Tracer, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically near the back of the engine bay. Remove the dipstick, clean it, and then use a funnel to add the appropriate type of transmission fluid through the tube. Make sure to check the fluid level with the dipstick to ensure it’s within the recommended range. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific fluid type and capacity.
Should be a plug at the side of the transmission- fill to this level
On the 93 escort, brother to Tracer, there was only a breather valve at the top of the transmission and fluid needed to be added by removing an access bolt OR it had a small yellow dipstick at the top of the transmission.
Down the tube that holds trans dipstick.
I believe it's dextron/mercron II
To add transmission fluid to a 1999 Mercury Tracer, locate the transmission dipstick tube, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay. Remove the dipstick, use a funnel to pour in the recommended type of transmission fluid, and check the fluid level using the dipstick to ensure it’s at the correct level. Be sure to add fluid gradually and check frequently to avoid overfilling.
