Ford Transit transmission

[Mikey P]

I took my 2015 350 in for it's first tranny service yesterday.

Turns out you can do a full flush as there are no fittings to connect to. Also was told the pan can not be dropped with out removing the full transmission.

So basically they suck the fluid out the dipstick tube and refill...



Do it often.

Wow thanks!

That reminds me I should probably do our first tranny flush on my 2000 Chevy express with 160,000K

No it's a chevy not a eourpean ford.

Ford E150...3 weeks ago @188000 miles. Same process: sucked, flushed, thorough the dip opening.

First time.

Runs good.

Change the filter ya tightwad.

cant ever do the filter, better service it often

At least they won't leave loose screws this way.

Remind me not to buy a truck from any of you guys. My Volkswagen is just about to turn 400,000 klicks. Service the tranny once a year. Service the rear end for all you ford/chevy/dodge guys once a year too.

Just had my 03 chevy 3500 done. My mechanic dropped the pan and replaced the filter, filled it with synthetic, $275

Much better than $3000 to replace the tranny.

Even on the ones you can pop the lines and flush they started doing it through the dipstick. It's just easier and safer. Popping those lines can cause a leak and the guys aren't real mechanics. I drain my tranny every oil change. I also drain the power steering every oil change. 100k miles and both fluids still look cherry.

I think I'm flat out neglecting my rig compared to some of you guys!

Most mechanics will tell you to never flush a chevy tranny.
