Thanks for the Video, very well done. Now I know why I can't find the dip stick. This is my fleet vehicle and a lot of my colleagues have had transmission failure and I wonder why. I wanted to check the trans fluid level because my transmission always seems to slip or skip when I am going around a corner or up a hill.
i want to point out this 10r80 ten speeds takes ULV mercon its the ultra low viscosity fluid.i work on a fleet of these...having anything other tha this ULV will cause you issues.
Excellent video Dairle. Question: I do not want to work near a hot catalytic converter but I do want to change the fluid. Can I removed transmission fluid with pump and measure the amount, then replace with new fluid the exact same amount?
Thank you! Can someone explain where one should be looking on the dipstick? What is the range that you're trying to shoot for? I know the old dipsticks had a hot and cold side and high and low level marks. This one doesn't seem to.
Question sir. I just called a Trans shop and they said for my 2016 Ford Transit, I can only do a flush, but seeing this you can do it. Is there a difference between a 2016 and 2020 Transit?
@saltyhumansWX Good question! They are pretty much the same except the Transmission Dipstick maybe on the opposite side. Also the 2016 use a different Fluid then the 2020 & up. Check your Owner's Manual on the proper Transmission Fluid type to use.
Please upload a video replacing a transmission filter and fluid on a ford 2023 transit van please sir!
You are awesome !👏 👏👏

Dont the newer transits use ULV fluid? and how much est to change out the filter you guess with all that crossmember etc in the way?
You have to drop the tranny
Ford has gone to shit 11hrs labor to drop pan stupid design
They definitely take ulv. Also you need to know the transmission fluid temperature before you can take an accurate reading off the dipstick

Yes Sir you can

Passenger side on the trans by the cat it looks like a nut kinda look for that 19 head though the video has perfect placing of it
Did you know that it's 5-hour job to replace the trans filter? they say you have to move part of the frame! (Bad design).
@@finnybflyinI agreed! It is a terrible design.
Is it the same procedure for a 2016 transit 250?
Good question! I wish I could properly answer that. I have not served a 2016 250.

Can you please explain to me how you read the transmission dip stick it has diamonds on it. I do not know how to read this dipstick. Thank uou
The top diamond will be your full mark.
Congratulations 😢🎉😮😂😂😂
Too bad they use a dual media filter half fine and half medium and they tend to clog so changing just the fluid is pissing in the wind
