Check The Transmission Fluid Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check the transmission fluid level.
  2. Observe the color and the odor. The color under normal circumstances should be reddish, not brown or black.
  3. Allow the transmission fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  4. If evidence of solid material is found, the transmission fluid pan should be removed for further inspection.
  5. If transmission fluid contamination or transaxle failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom of the transmission fluid pan, the transaxle must be disassembled and completely cleaned.
  6. Carry out diagnostic checks and adjustments. Refer to Diagnosis By Symptom .
