Transmission Fluid

How do you change transmission fluid on 1996 Ford Thunderbird?

You have to remove the transmission pan. Jack the car up and then place jack stands under the car for safety. Then looking up at the transmission you will see the pan there are bolts holding the pan to the housing remove the bolts and the pan will drop off this will let about 4 quarts out there is also a filter in the valve body that has to be replaced. Be careful with the pan gasket it is reusable. This can get pretty messy when the pan drops so hold the pan and do not let it fall when removing. A trick I use is to take a electric oil pump used for removing oil on boat engines (cost $12.00 JC Whitney) and remove almost all the oil out through the fill tube that way when you drop the pan the remaining stays in pan and does not splatter all over you. when replacing the pan and gasket another trick is to get four (3 ) inch bolts cut the heads off screw one in each corner this way when you put the pan and gasket back on this will guide the pan an keep the gasket from moving. Hope this helps.

Why would you put power steering stop leak in an automatic transmission in the first place? You obviously don't know what you are doing. Take it to a professional!

Where is the fill plug for a 96 s10 pickup manual transmission?

Asked by Wiki User

Should be on the side. There are two plugs. The bottom is the drain and the top is the fill. If I remember correctly it needs an Allen wrench to remove it and is more or less flush with the trans body. Good luck.

How do you change the fluid on the 1999 ZX2 with an automatic Transmission?

Asked by Wiki User

you need a machine like a t-tech other wise its darn near impossible

Is the t-tech machine a flushing method? Just want to drain whats in the pan and add new fluid. Leave filter intact.

well if you drop the plug you only get about 30% of the fluid. if you want that make sure you got a dip stick, if you dont then you cant. if you do call the dealership and see which transmission fluid you need and how much then drop the plug drain the fluid then fill through the dipstick

Ford designated fluid. It's written on the bottles. I think Mobil 1 makes it... or Pennzoil. Go to Wally*World (Wal*Mart) and check out the shelves in "Automotive."

Why wil my transmission not change gears properly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most common problem with an automatic transmission has to do with the transmission fluid. If it is low, old, or burned smelling, it may cause problems that do not allow the vehicle to shift properly. A loss of transmission fluid can allow air to get into the hydraulic system causing multiple problems. A slip or jerk will usually indicate that pressure has been lost for this reason. If the vacuum hose on the modulator is clogged or disconnected, the transmission will delay shifting or might not shift at all, and you may hear a loud whining sound which increases as the car accelerates. If the cable is broken, disconnected or misadjusted, the transmission will not shift properly. If the linkage is misaligned or disconnected multiple problems may occur.

With so many components and so many possible problems, it takes experts like those here at Transmission Headquarters to properly do automatic transmission repairs.

Where is the transmission dipstick on the Mercedes C180?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I love trick questions

On some of these automatic transmission equip ed cars there was no dipstick and if you wish to check the oil level you drain the transmission and refill with specified amount.

Please see your owners manual and/or contact your local dealer to see if this applies to your particular car.
