where is the transmission fluid filler tube located on an automatic 2005 mustang GT?

Question

i drained the trans fluid from the bottom but do not know how to refill it

Answer 1

The same hole you used to drain is the same hole that the dealer uses to refill it with a special tool, and pump. It does not have a fill tube and dipstick. Visit the dealer. If you want to put some fluid back in it, since you are stuck at home now with no transmission fluid, and probably will not try to drain your trans again without checking up on it first, to prevent a tow do this.

Put your drain plug back in and tighten it up. Then loosen all of the pan bolts and remove the entire pan. Don't worry the gasket is reusable and will seal it back. Then fill the trans pan with as much fluid as it will hold, should be around 4 1/2 to 5 quarts. Then reinstall the pan, fluid will come out when you put the pan back up, due to the displacement of the filter, but I want to make sure you have enough fluid in the pan. After the pan full of fluid is reinstalled an bolted back up, drive the car to the dealer and have them check the transmission fluid and put it at the correct level.

dude you have to have special tools to fill it properly. no more dipsticks on many automatic transmissions,

Notes

Transmission Fluid Level Check




Special Tool(s)




Material

Fluid Fill Reference

NOTE: Left side of case shown.




1. Using the diagnostic tool (WDS) , monitor the transmission fluid temperature (TFT) using PID: TFT.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. NOTE: Engine idle speed is approximately 650 rpm. While proceeding with this procedure, run the engine until the transmission fluid temperature is between 27°- 49°C (80°- 120°F) .




4. Move the range selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage.
5. Place the range selector lever in the PARK position.
6. With the engine running, position the vehicle on a hoist and set it as close to level as possible.




7. Hold the larger drain plug with a wrench and remove the small (center) fluid level indicating plug.




8. Install the special tool into the pan.




9. NOTE: Prior to filling the special tool with clean transmission fluid, make sure that the canister is clean. Fill the special tool with clean automatic transmission fluid.




10. Hang the special tool under the vehicle. Position it upright and close to the transmission.




11. Connect the special tools.

o Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the Fluid Transporter/Evacuator/Injector to the Fluid Level and Fill Plug Adapter at the bottom of the transmission fluid pan.




12. Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the special tool. Fluid will immediately start flowing out of the special tool into the transmission fluid pan.
13. Add one pint of transmission fluid into the fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the air nozzle from the end of the hose.
14. Inspect the fluid level in the special tool. If the fluid drains back into the canister, the transmission is full. If no fluid drains back more fluid will need to be added. Repeat steps 12 and 13.




15. Once the transmission is full, place a hand vacuum pump on the open end of the vacuum pressure hose of the special tool and apply vacuum to the system. This will pull out any extra fluid trapped in the system and direct it into the container.




16. Allow the fluid to drain. Make sure that the fluid temperature is between 27°- 49°C (80°- 120°F) . When the fluid comes out as a thin stream or drip, the fluid is at the correct level.




17. Reinstall the small (center) fluid level indicating plug and tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) .
18. Check the operation of the transmission by moving the range selector lever slowly through each gear, stopping in each position and allowing the transmission to engage.

Answer 3

you fuked up bud..your not supposed to check/replace the tranny fluid yourself as theres not way to refill it.

"the auto trannys on these cars are know as what are "sealed transmission" and you cannot, and supposedly you do not need to check the fluid
now they do have a "magic tool" (Automatic Transmission Flush and Fill Machine) - at least according to the workshop manual. If you want to use the "manual" method you need in the least a vacume pump kit and a fluid injector device. (coming froma ford employee)"

Answer 4

manual, on the transmission. automatic, left near firewall in the back... little hole
