JaSSon Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Can any vendors here do a tranny service on a 2002 Mazda Tribute? Should just need fluid and a filter if applicable. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 LOL, just talked to AAMCO, they said this vehicle doesn't have a pan, and the filter is inaccessible. Fucking Ford. Anyway, sounds like just a standard drain and fill. They quoted me at $99. Better be some damned good fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Is this hard to do on your own? I have never changed mine, i probably should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Is this hard to do on your own? I have never changed mine, i probably should. I was expecting a pan that would have to be removed = big fucking mess = I'd rather pay to have it done. Also not sure how much Voodoo to add to the tranny fluid. Fucking magic!

JaSSon Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Apparently this trans doesn't have a pan, just a drain plug. The owner's manual calls for 13.5q of Mercon tranny fluid. About how much can I actually expect to drain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_golf Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 about half that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Exactly 4 quarts drain. I did that twice. I don't feel like wasting anymore fluid. Stupid ass design... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid ass design... waste more fluid you at leaste want to do it 4 to 5 times to get it all changed out. drive it around in between each change to get the fluid out of the tq converter and lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even on the cars that had a drain plug for the tq converter you would only get ~75-85% of the fluid out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_golf Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 You can't do a flush on those. All the lines are sealed by crimpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the lines are sealed by crimpers Didn't read what the car was, I only saw Ford and assumed it was an older one. In that case, suction is the way to go for speed. I hate sealed-ish transmissions. They are just half assed and annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
