Inspection and Verification - Manual Transmission

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: 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 Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and Cleaning - Manual Transmission .
  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 transmission fluid is found leaking from the in-tank transmission fluid cooler. Refer to ENGINE COOLING article.
  2. If the fault is not visually evident, go to Symptom Chart - Manual Transmission .
