How to change transmission fluid on a 2000 ford focus?
I'm a girl so I'm a little confused on how to do this.
and was just wondering how to do it. Is it easy to change it? Is changing the transmission fluid the same thing as flushing it any advice will help thank you.
You being a girl has nothing to do with it. You are as capable as anyone with no mechanical aptitude. Have fun.
You'd be better off just leaving the ATF alone than trying to change it yourself. I've seen too many people that just wanted to change the transmission fluid and ended up ruining the transmission that had nothing wrong with it before they played mechanic! Don't flush an automatic transmission. It back flushes all the dirt that was caught in the ATF filter into the valve body and is the cause of transmission failure in may cases. Have a mechanic do a drain and fill.
- Transmission fluid change or flush or both (1997 Ford Taurus GL)? I just got a 1997 Ford Taurus GL with over 133000 miles. The car is in pretty good shape but when I shift gears it shifts kind of hard. I have no idea if the trans has ever been serviced but my guess is that it need to be. Would you recommend just draining the pan, changing the filter and gasket and replenishing the fluid or should I do a flush? Not a power flush. Just using an extension hose to drain the old fluid and add new fluid. Or do you recommend both? If so, in what order?

Please any ideas would help.
