NOTICE: The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transmission will cause transmission damage. Draining 1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02. 2. Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the transmission fluid to drain. Refill 3. Install the transmission fluid drain plug. Tighten to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft). 4. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug. 5. Fill the transaxle with approximately 3.7L (4 qt) of clean transmission fluid. 6. Install the transmission fluid fill plug. Tighten to 39 Nm (29 lb-ft). 7. With the transaxle in (P) PARK, the vehicle should be on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm), foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever back in the PARK position. 8. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the fluid level indicator. 9. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth. 10. NOTE: In order to get an accurate transmission fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm) for 5 minutes and the transmission fluid temperature should be at least 70°C-80° (158° C F-176° using the scan tool. F) If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pint) increments through the transmission fluid fill plug located on the top of the transaxle near the transmission fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The transmission fluid level should be at the upper-most mark on the transmission fluid level indicator. Only fill to the upper-most mark on the transmission fluid indicator. Do not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.

1. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Place a suitable container underneath the oil pan drain plug (6730). Remove the oil pan drain plug and allow the engine oil to drain into the container. After the oil has drained out of the oil pan (6675) install the oil pan drain plug. Tighten the oil pan drain plug to 29-39 Nm (22-29 lb-ft). 3. NOTE: Cover the screw-type jack with a shop rag to prevent damage to the crankshaft pulley (6312). Position a screw-type jack at the crankshaft pulley to support the engine (6007). 4. Remove the front engine support insulator through bolt. 5. Remove the rear engine support insulator through bolt. 6. Remove the two rear refrigerant/heater pipe hold-down bracket bolts. 7. Remove the the four transverse member bolts, and remove the transverse member from the vehicle. 8. Remove the exhaust inlet pipe. Refer to Section 09-00 for the removal procedure. 9. Remove the four rear transaxle-to-engine brace bolts. 10. Remove the five front transaxle-to-engine brace bolts. 11. Remove the front transaxle-to-engine brace. 12. Remove the 18 oil pan bolts in the sequence shown. 13. Remove the oil pan. Discard the oil pan seals (6722).

Water Pump Replacement (L61) Tools Required J 43651 Water Pump Holding Tool Removal Procedure 1. Drain the coolant. 2. Remove the thermostat housing pipe-to-cylinder bolt near the front of the engine. 3. Remove the exhaust manifold heat shield and bolts. 4. Remove the water pump access plate from the front cover. 5. Remove the right hand wheel nuts and wheel assembly. 6. Remove the right hand inner push-pins and splash shield. 7. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor electrical connector. Important: A drain plug has been provided at the bottom of the water pump assembly for additional coolant drainage from the engine block and water pump. 8. Drain the coolant from the plug at the bottom of the water pump. 9. Remove the thermostat housing bolts. 10. Move the thermostat housing toward the left hand side of the vehicle while twisting the water feed pipe from the rear of the water pump assembly. Leave the coolant hoses and thermostat housing cover connected. 11. Remove the water feed pipe. Important: The water pump holding tool supports the sprocket and chain during water pump service. The tool must be used or the balance shaft must be re-timed. 13. Install the J 43651 into position. 14. Tighten the bolts on the water pump holding tool into the threads on the water pump sprocket. 15. Install the access cover bolts that were removed earlier to secure the water pump holding tool to the front cover assembly. 16. Remove the 3 inner water pump sprocket to water pump blots.

You can tell a lot about what’s ailing a sick A/T just by looking at the condition of its ATF. It can help you accurately diagnose an A/T problem before you replace solenoids or order a reman A/T. Here’s how you do it: 1. Use a fine-mesh strainer to drain the ATF from the sick A/T and A/T cooler into a clean container. (A disposable paint strainer or coffee filter works great for this.) 2. Look at the condition of the ATF: • If the ATF is very clean and the A/T slips, flares, or shifts harshly, solenoid replacement will usually fix this problem and it’s an inexpensive alternative to replacing the A/T. • If the ATF has lots of metallic particles swirling around in it, don’t bother replacing solenoids because the problem will most likely happen again. A reman A/T is your only option. Make sure you flush the A/T cooler and lines before installing the reman A/T (see S/B 89-022, A/T Cooler Flushing Procedure or refer to the appropriate S/M). If you don’t, any contaminants from the cooler and lines will get inside the A/T and then you’ll be dealing with a comeback. • If you’re not sure if the contamination is normal, try draining the ATF from a healthy A/T through a paint strainer into another container, and comparing the fluids. But keep in mind, some amount of fluid discoloration is normal and even large metallic particles on the magnetic drain plug is OK.

Removal 1. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Place a suitable container under the transaxle drain plug. NOTE: If an integral problem is suspected, drain the fluid through a paper filter. A small amount of metal or friction particles may be found from normal wear. However, if excessive metal and friction particles are present, internal service will be required. 3. Remove the transaxle drain plug and drain transmission fluid. Installation 1. Install the transaxle drain plug. ^ After the fluid has been drained, clean the drain plug threads and apply a small amount of Pipe Sealant with Teflon (D DBAZ-19554-A or XW7Z-19554-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G350-A2. 2. Lower the vehicle. 3. Add 3.7 liters (3.9 quarts) of MERCON (A Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX or equivalent meeting MERCON specification. 4. Start the engine and run through all gears for a total of five minutes at idle. Turn off the engine. 5. Repeat the previous steps to help flush fluid from the torque converter
