My brotjer fixed his 2005 ford freestyle and it was about $4500. It depends on the labor charge the shop has
On a 2006 Ford Freestyle with a 3.0-liter engine, the transmission dipstick is located on the driver's side of the engine bay, near the back. It is typically a yellow or orange handle that is marked for easy identification. To check the transmission fluid, ensure the vehicle is on level ground and the engine is running, then pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, reinsert, and check the fluid level.
To check the transmission fluid in a 2007 Ford Freestyle, start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature. Then, with the vehicle in park, locate the transmission dipstick, which is usually found near the back of the engine bay. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then remove it again to check the fluid level. The fluid should be within the marked range on the dipstick; if it’s low, add the appropriate type of transmission fluid as specified in the owner's manual.

If you have a CVT this is not a dipstick. Unfortunately, you have to go to Ford, your mechanic or change the oil yourself at the recommended interval.
To change the transmission fluid in a 2006 Ford Freestyle SEL, start by warming up the vehicle and then safely lifting it using jack stands. Remove the transmission pan and drain the old fluid, ensuring you replace the pan gasket. Refill with new transmission fluid through the dipstick tube, using the type specified in the owner’s manual. Finally, check the fluid level with the engine running and the vehicle in park to ensure it’s within the recommended range.
If you used the correct A/T fluid, then Check the fluid level according to directions spelled out in the owner's manual. If it is at the full level and still slips, then you need this transmission looked at by a professional. More likely than not, it will need an overhaul or replacement.
