I have a 93 F150 with an automatic transmission. A loose line to my transmission cooler made me loose quite a bit of fluid today. Being stuck on the side of the road, helped by a friend and in a hurry to get back to work, we fixed the line quickly, but I now have to much fluid in the transmission.

Should I worry about this, or should I take out the additional fluid and if so, how is the best way to take out the extra fluid.

Thanks for you toughts.

 

take out the extra fluid, it foams if too full.

disconnect the cooler line and pump some out.

 

Catch it so you may need to reuse it if you remove too much.

 

The only other way to remove fluid would be to get one of those vacum pumps and feed the tube into the tranny pan via the dipstick tube. I have no idea how much one of these vacum pumps cost, I have seen them advertised with either a hand crank or used with a regular electric drill. Just a thought for ya.

Cheers!

Mike
