In this short video I go over a few easy steps to change your transmission fluid in a 2014 Ford Fusion with a 6F35 Transmission. #ford #fusion #transmission
First person to do this without jacking the car up you are my hero! I also spent more then I had to guess I just need buy a jack and not $80 in jack stands!
As long as I'm not getting under the car or leaving it jacked up for an extended period of time I usually don't mess with jack stands. Just depends on what I'm doing. Thanks for watching!
If when I have the "leveled" to check that fill test plug is it better to have the car sitting slightly higher or slightly lower in the front? I am going the work in my garage, and of course it isn't perfectly level.
Thanks for the video, big help. Bought a '14 Fusion used with 88K miles. I could tell from the drain/inspection bolts the trans fluid was probably never changed in my car. 4.5 quarts came out, and like with yours it took 5 full quarts to fill when hot.
I am in the same situation - my biggest fear is doing new fluid and the transmission starts to slip. Hows your 14' Fusion been shifting after the fuild change @mark palmer?
Unbelievable the ford dealership charged me $250 to do this last time. Iliterally checked and refilled my antifreeze on my own time to do my transmission fluid this weekend. Ill save $190 or more by doing this on my own.
I'm not a real handy car guy but I do know how to change a tire and my oil, and this video has been a big help. Based off what I've read around it looks like it'll need 5 quarts hot like you did. What I wanna know is, can I just put all 5 quarts in right away? Or do I gotta put in 4.5, get it hot, then add the last 0.5 quarts?
Have a '15 2.0l...some flaky residue is surrounding my fill hose and covering the bolt just north of the cap at about the 2 o'clock position...noticed cap was slightly raised, all this being done after I had both CV axles done. If they topped off trans fluid, is it possible the cap was not secured all the way? Or am I dealing with some other animal
Im guessing the cap wasn't pushed down all the way after they topped it off. I'd keep an eye on it and double check the fluid level. Also check the coolant lines which run in the area for leaks.
Thanks for this video I can handle this. Local ford dealer wants $275.00 . I thought like hell no. But now im concerned about the right way to flush the radiator not just drain it
So when I drained the tranny only about 2.5 L came out, not sure if the torque converter is holding more or if there wasn't enough to begin with? Did you run for a few seconds while draining in order to push more fluid out?
Hey buddy thanks for the vidoe, what was the mileage on this car when u changed the transmission fluid? Thank i have the same car 130k miles planing to change the fluid what u think ? Thank u again
I had just purchased the car when I changed the fluid. It had around 102000 miles. Based on my research for the 6F35 transmission the fluid should be changed every 30k miles to keep the in cased filter from clogging. Good luck! its easy to do
I wouldn't. Today's automatic transmissions are complex and sensitive to fluid types. I was able to buy the fluid from my local Ford dealer for cheaper than at the auto part stores.
It had around 102,000 miles on it when I changed the fluid. I had just purchased the car and didn't know what has or hadn't been done on it, that's why I changed the fluid. I wasn't experiencing any problems before, but it's shifting like new now.
@@KCSGARAGEMEDIA Getting my done next week.I have 180km on mine and no issues .However I bought it 3 months ago and doing it as preventative maintenance. also spark plugsc Cheers
Leveling is always a good idea to double check the fluid level, could of been low on fluid. But if you know its not low then pouring in the same as you drain out should suffice.
my 2016 2.0l fusion only drained 3 quarts and took 3 quarts. fluid wasn't black like yours it was brown, didn't smell, and hardly any metal flake. having random shifting problems before and after. sometime its fine sometimes it jerks and sometimes its really struggling. i had p0219, p0731, and p0732 codes.
@@KCSGARAGEMEDIAmine’s got 114 K miles and I don’t know if it’s been changed. 15 Fusion SE . Soo no problem doing a drain and fill ? Some have said leave it alone..
Because 5 quarts is what you can drain out of the transmission into a pan. The other 3.7L is trapped inside the transmission valve body and other components and cannot be readily drained.
The 2019 ford fusion hybrid titanium does not have this, you have to jack the car up, take the drive side tire off, than pump the transmission fluid in, I hate it when they want you to take your vehicle in for service!
I did not understand whether the oil level was measured and the excess was emptied, and the machine was running or working with the machine in a stopped position .. I also did not understand how many cans were used
@@VikNov no sir, unfortunately if you haven't owed the car since new-50k miles and don't know if it's been flushed before then all I'd do is drain the fluid and fill with new. Now if you have owned it since almost new and still doesn't have over 50k-75k on it I'd just flush it the first time then change the fluid every 50k. 👍
