Transmission Fluid Filler Tube

[skidoomxz99]

I did an oil change in my 00 EB and I noticed that my transmission fluid filler tube is rusting and starting to rot out. Therefore, I am unable to add any tranny fluid due to the holes in this tube.

Does anyone know where you can buy a new tranmission fluid filler tube? Also, I did a google search (on here too) and it appears that there is a screw which holds the tube into the Tranmission (atleast on Ford Contour). Does anyone know how to replace it on an 2000 X?

Thanks!

That is more than likely a dealer item only. Used might be available, but why get one used with the same problem? (unless you get one from where I live... )

I tried calling Rock Auto and they don't have the part.. I will try calling around today to local shops.

Whatever exposed metal goes into my truck now gets a coating of anti-sieze. I had steel brake lines rot out like your stick..just imagine that!

Trans dip tube

I also have the same trouble with a 00 Eddie Bauer.
Came here to find one as one person wants $50.00 + shipping.
That is crazy if it was chevy or GM auto zone $15.00.
I have a search in with bone yards will post when I find one.
Also live in mass must be the New England Salt.

Filler tube Found

I found a site that has the tube and a bunch of OEM Ford parts.

www.trademotion.com
it claims fast ford parts.
Trans Filler tube part # F77Z7A228CA price $23.49
I also found my oil pan that is rotting.
The prices seem resonable being Ford Parts.
