Question about trans fluid change?

There are good videos on you tube. If you have the Ford built transmission, not the ZF, there is a bolt on the drivers side of the transmission. Once the bolt is out it will reveal a small yellow dipstick. You have to pump in the transmission fluid by hand. The guy on youtube is ford tech makuloco or something like that. Keep in mind I havent done mine yet so I am giving a recap of the video. Good luck.

Ok. Just did mine so what I did was use a long piece of tubing and run it from the fill/dip stick but assembly up thru the engine compartment and then put a funnel on the end in the engine compartment. Slowly pour in the fluid. Mine took about 7 quarts but I did install a cooler so I may have needed more fluid than a regular oil/filter change. Hope this technique works for you. Checking the fluid level is a pain. Use an oven MIT to prevent 3rd degree burns.

You can also use a pump for quarts. The pumps are cheap and can be found on amazon or similar places.
