How was the transmission behaving before u performed the service? I also believe it's about 7lts for a full fill, try jacking the car up on an angle so the highest point for the trans is it's fill point(so right side on the ground & left side up)

I changed the filter which still was the orginal filter, totally clotted, see how it goes with new fluid and filter yesterday. Unfortunately I don't have specific scan tool, only OBD dangle which is not up for the task. thank you all for the kind replies Last edited by oldgun; 22-03-2024 at 07:58 PM. |

The problem is, if you don't follow the procedure properly and just put 7 1/2 litres in, you'll end up with the rear section of the transmission overfilled, but the front, where the oil pump and valve body are will be underfilled. |

No over filling is not a good idea, Jack up so fill point is the high point(so one wheel on the ground the other lifted), & fill like that, as suggested then run through all gears several times, recheck level, lower car & take for a short run(enough to get to running temp), making sure u run it in all gear & manual mode-important, bring back put on a level surface & recheck oil level(level check should be done on flat level surface@operating temp) the other investment u should make is the dongle for FORSCAN(LINKER LS or OBDLINK EX are the two best & recommend by FORSCAN) Then it gives u the opportunity to reset the TCMs learning parameters which will reset shift points & pressures(when resetting there is a learning process to correctly relearn shift & shift pressures-best done at a quiet time & a place with not much traffic to start off) basically start off with limited throttle & gradually run it through the gears until top gear is achieved then let it coast to a stop without using brakes if u can, then repeat this using different throttle inputs, until eventually a few free spirited runs (I like to use an on ramp of a freeway/motorway).....but in the end the condition that u described your transmission in when u serviced it it could be also the the clutchs also have significant wear & have done there day, as Ford also recommends 60k service intervals for these transmission....

It drives very good after I replace filter and refilled fluid, check the level again. so far so good. Mechanic wise I think it's in good working condition, there's no slipping gears or other issues. |
