I am going to change the automatic transmission fluid and my Haynes manual says I need to add 17 quarts to refill it. Can this be right? People in the parts store said it was only ten, maximum but didn't seem sure.... Thanks.

if you are only changing the pan gasket %26amp; tranny filter?
then you only need 5 quarts.
it holds a total of 10. five quarts in the pan %26amp; five quarts stay in the torqueconverter.How much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
4.9 2wd it is going to be 5.25 quarts of fluid becuase your not dumpping out the conveter.How much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
tim b hit it right on'How much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
17 qt`s ? Where are you supposed to put the other 10 ? assuming you drained the converter. Haynes does not use spell check, hence 17 qt`s . If all you do is drain the pan, change the filter. Then you should need no more than 4-5 qt`sHow much transmission fluid does a 1993 Ford F150 need?
If you drop the pan than these guys are right. A good rule of thumb is to watch what you lose and replace it with a quart less, check fluid and fill accordingly.
However, MAKE SURE YOUR REPLACEMENT FLUID MATCHES WHAT YOU DRAINED. Mixing two different fluids is a recipe for disaster, especially in a Ford.

How often should transmission fluid and differential fluid be changed?

yeah changing the transmission fluid every 50k miles should be fine it depends on how you drive it. and as far as changing the differential fluid is up to you some people don't change it but its like any other oil it breaks down over time and should be changed, i change mine every 50k miles or so.How often should transmission fluid and differential fluid be changed?

How can I fix my 1997 Dodge Intrepid's transmission with a fluid change and a pair of plyers?
My car shifts harder then when I got it, which could be all the miles it has(151,500). But when I got the car it was fine I couldnt feel it shift barely at all and it had (128,000) then. I try not to beat the car but sometimes I need to pass and I kick it down one more gear then I would like, and I have burnt out 4 times with the car but twice were because the roads were wet and I had bald tires. But I ask the original question because when I was searching around to find out about my car I came across a web site that had comments from different people who have or still do own the same kind of car as me(97 dodge intrepid, 3.5 litre). The one man said in his comments to e-mail him and he would tell you how to fix your tranny with justy a fluid change and a pair of plyers, but he left no e-mail address. So now I am hoping that someone knows what this man was talking about or that he reads yahoo answers and realizes that I need an answer without spending 800 to 1200 dollars on my tranny.How can I fix my 1997 Dodge Intrepid%26039;s transmission with a fluid change and a pair of plyers?

98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Is it ok to use Lucas Transmission Fluid as a additive? How do you change the Transmission Fluid Filter Kit?98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Benz does not recommend any additives for their transmission and considering the cost of a replacement electronic transmission, I wouldn't add anything other than the Benz synthetic transmission fluid either.
Changing the transmission filter is the same as it is on most other trannies. Drop the pan, replace the filter and the gasket, refill the transmission. You'll need 4 litres of fluid if you're replacing the fluid lost from the pan, 8 litres if you're flushing the entire transmission including the torque conv. Just remember that the car does not come with a fluid level dipstick. You'll either need to buy the tool or take the car to a shop that has one so they can check the fluid level for you.98 Mercedes Benz S420 Transmission Fluid?
Well if you've not really had any problems with the transmission I'd not add any Lucas to it but I do believe in their products , have used them myself and know of many success stories.
If you've not ever changed transmission fluids or filters you might want to either get a shop to it or get a friend to help you that has experience or read a full service manual and then do it or try a good auto parts store bec some offer free diagrams and instruction print outs.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way that really isn't a hard job to do it's vital though that the right filter kit and transmission fluid is used , plus cleaning the surfaces and making sure that their quite dry before placing the gasket and pan back on is also vital.Another thing is once you change the fluid etc wait till you drive it a good 100 miles or so and lightly retighten the pan bolts again.how do i become a stock broker kids hair

How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge Srt-4? I need to change the fluid myself but I don't know how much to buy. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say. I called two dealerships to ask and they don't know. Atleast an estimate on the amount would be nice so I have an idea of how much to buy.How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
Better go back to the dealer. I am sure they know. You also need mopar friction adder because of the limited slip differential.How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
i checked my mitchell and it also does not say how much for an srt-4 but for a 2004 neon it takes 9L if empty and 4L drain and fill of atf +4
good luckHow much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
First what year is the neon and second
2000-2005 takes 4 litres of transmission fluid .How much transmission fluid goes in a Dodge SRT-4?
First and formost -- keep in mind this is a manual transmission and not an automatic transmission (all SRT4's are 5spd). So 9L is right out the door.
4L is close... my buddy changed his transmission fluid and said he used almost 3 quarts in his SRT.
If I remember correctly he just used 5w-30w Mobile1 to do this.
If you call a dealer I'm sure they can verify what the best fluid to use.

How to get the drain plug unscrewed fron transmission?
Its been 3 years since I got my maual transmission fluid changed so I went to have it done an they told me that thei plug on the bottom is so far screwed in that they cant get it out. Do I need to go back to the dealer who was the last place to do that service. (went to valvoline this time) what should I do? I have a 1998 nissan 200sxHow to get the drain plug unscrewed fron transmission?
What they mean is: they can't get it out without possibly damaging the transmission pan. Since they probably aren't a full service shop, they would not even be able to charge you for repair/replacement. They surely would not do this for free. This might sound a bit far-fetched, but, often a mechanic will over tighten a part requiring that you return for future service. You should take it back to the shop that touched it last and ensure that they take responsibility for any damaged parts. This should be done immediately so there is no %26quot;wiggle room%26quot; and no unnecessary or %26quot;excessive damage%26quot; (legal term for %26quot;your responsibility%26quot;).How to get the drain plug unscrewed fron transmission?
take it back to the dealer that did it last time.How to get the drain plug unscrewed fron transmission?
First I would have to ask, why are you changing your (manual) transmission fluid. I have a 1982 Chevy truck and though I will check it's level I have never changed it. You don't have to. Automatic trans are different in that they have a filter that can catch debris and their fluid can break down after time.
Now, What you will need to do with your plug that is mangled, is take to a good, trust worthy mechanic and have him drill a tap hole into it and use what is called an ease out to remove it and replace it with a new one. He will know what to do. He will re-thread the trans case to make sure the threads are not messed up and put the knew plug in and charge you @ $75.00 I would guess. And yes the Dealer would be a good place to start. They will probably have a new plug there or will be the best place to order it.
