    6R60 trans fluid change

    no I didnt ever get the update done, I first felt the stop bump at like 84-85k.. so decided to service myself.. just changed fluid, cleaned pan and filter, and it pretty much completely went away as did the rough park to drive bump.. and it overall shifted and behaved 100 percent better.. at the...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    comments my transmission was fairly warm still when I changed fluid because I drove from my house to the shop to put it on the lift, but I did not do with it running or any type of live exchange.. pumped old stuff out, new stuff in.. it exchanged at least 90 percent of fluid proven by the...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    I used Ford service info after switching out it said something like put in reverse neutral, each gear back to neutral, reverse,drive, neutral then ran it at like 200 or 2500 rpms for a minute or two.. I did all while on a lift, then drove a couple miles... but I cannot find that paper I got it...

    6R60 trans fluid change

I had the issue with the parts store filter as well giving the five speed one.. and the dealer wouldnt sell...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    flush if thats true I suppose its probably not that bad but but the junks all still in there so I feel the pan and filter cleaning/ replacement is worth doing it yourself to start with.. plus its fairly easy.. just takes some patience, a cheap hand pump and making a small fitting for the end...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    The Amsoil jug I bought was 2.5 gallons, or 10 qt.. I used almost all of it, so it replaced about 10qts of old fluid with new synthetic fluid. As for previous posts, somebody can call it "sealed and maintence free" all they want.. but at 80k miles in my pan and on my filter was some sludge and...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    No i did not as the fluid costs 100 bucks.. too expensive for me to waste and you use alot of it.. I suppose if you really wanted to you could do that with factory LV fluid.. fill then run then drain again, but I barely had the money for the $100 jug of amsoil.. youd basically have to throw out...

    6R60 trans fluid change

    2006 Mecury Mountaineer ignition coil question.

    problems yeah I think if the moron engineers would have designed a plastic cover with a gasket to seal it for that valley.. it would prob solve half the spark plug freezing issues and most of the coil issues, prob would cost them $3 a car when building to have added.. most of us would welcome...
