Inspection and Verification - Manual Transmission

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup, 2004 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2004 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2004 Ford Excursion, and 2004 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: When internal wear/damage occurs in the transmission, component material can travel into the fluid cooler tubes and the in-tank transmission fluid cooler. Remove these contaminants from the cooling system before placing the transmission back into use. Refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER FLOW TEST - MANUAL TRANSMISSION , and refer to TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER - BACKFLUSHING AND CLEANING - MANUAL TRANSMISSION  for the procedures.
  1. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage, incorrect component installation, and system leaks. Repair as necessary.
    • Install a new or remanufactured radiator when fluid is found leaking from the in-tank transmission fluid cooler. Refer to ENGINE COOLING .
  2. If the fault is not visually evident, GO to SYMPTOM CHART - MANUAL TRANSMISSION .
