Transmission Fluid Condition Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check the transmission fluid level.
  2. Hold the transmission fluid level indicator over a white facial tissue and allow the transmission fluid to drop onto the facial tissue and examine the stain.
  3. If evidence of solid material is found, remove the transmission fluid pan for further inspection.
  4. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transmission. Inspect the engine cooling system at this time.
  5. If transmission fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission fluid pan, disassembled and thoroughly clean the transmission, including the torque converter, transmission fluid coolers and transmission fluid cooler tubes.
  6. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments. Refer to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM .
