I have a 2000 ford explorer try to put tranmission fluid and it leaks out.

Asked by cpugh Mar 14, 2014 at 08:25 AM about the 2000 Ford Explorer

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had a broken transmission line to the front cooler by the radiator. I fixed it but when I tried to put fluid in through the trans dipstick tube it leaked out. Do I have a seal problem or does the transmission have an overflow valve that keeps it from being overfilled?

Where is it leaking out? No overflow valve- do not overfill- it sounds like something you did or didn't do in the repair- now you know why mechanics charge so much

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. It won't shift gears and I can't figure out how to check the transmission fluid. There's no dipstick, or I can't find it if there is. Do you know what I need to do? 1 Answer

Put it in reverse and it reverses. Put it in drive and it goes in drive and thats it/ It won't shift gears.

OK i'm stumped. I have a 2001 ford explorer(please keep comments about fords to yourself ). I've had 4 episodes where i was driving along with no issues and the even though i am excellerating the car stops running and the stalls out. Once i pull it to the side of the road and try to start it it back fires and qcts like it it out of gas but if you wait 30 plus minutes it will start and run for a bit longer then repeats itself a couple more times but then it will runs for days until it does it again. The check engine light is not on but the check gas cap is on. we replaced the gas cap and it is still on. The first time this happened I had it towed and the mechanic tightened the serpentine belt and fixed the manifold gasket. Does anyone have any ideas???? 14 Answers
