Transmission Fluid Change for 2001 Ford Mustang 3.8?
I have 2001 Ford Mustang 6 Cylinders and I need to change the ATF Transmission Fluid.
How many Quart of ATF Fluid are needed for my 2001 Mustang?
Please! I would appreciate for your answer.
Hi it's drain plug is under the gearbox. It does not usually have a dipstick but a oil level hole on one side of the housing. This is where it is filled up with new oil it also acts as a oil level hole so you can't over fill it. So the whole job is a messy underneath the car. So if you are not some one who likes getting dirty and and messed up doing car jobs a Ford dealer is a far better option. He to has gallons of fluid available doing this job all the time. Some use 4 quarts and some use 6 quarts. Depending on engine size and other issues. So you would need a handbook to discover it's quantity.
It takes 13.9 quarts however you probably will only be able to get about half of that out by dropping the pan. The rest will be stuck in the torque converter. I'm not sure if the torque converter has a drain plug or not on this model. If you can drain the torque converter then you can get another 4 or so quarts out, in addition to fluid in the pan. The only way you're going to get the full 13.9 quarts out is if you take the car to a shop that has machine that will pump all the old fluid out of the system and pump new fluid in. Unfortunately most shops that do that, usually don't drop the pan and put a new filter in.
- 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?
- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
- 2001 Ford Mustang transmission slipping between 2nd and 3rd gear? It's a V6 Automatic can you guys help? What's going on with my car? My transmission fluid is fine and it's only got 28,000 miles on it any ideas?
- How is the fluid from my radiator on my 1996 Ford Thunderbird mixing with my auto transmission fluid? I've asked and asked and no one seems to have an answer. Please any ideas would be helpful to give me some sort of clue as to where to start to get this fixed. The car still runs fine but its starting to effect the gears changing. Please any ideas would help.
