If it is an automatic the transmission is sealed and you can't check the fluid expect through a special procedure done by the dealer or a well equipped transmission repair shop..
Depends on whether you have manual or automatic transmission. Here is a link to a pdf of your owners manual. See page 223 and pages 247 on for your question. Basically, if it's automatic, you have a dipstick, the location is shown. If manual it is a fairly large bolt on the side of the gearbox, you take it out and stick your finger in. It should be even with the bottom of the filler hole. These don't use fluid, but have service intervals to change it. See manual. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/09focog2e.pdf
On the transmission from underneath you should see a bolt, you will have to remove it to put in the proper amount. Go to autozone.com it may have a diagram for it's location.
Hi Deborah, What light is coming on? If your vehicle has a clutch it is not automatic and I don't know of any manual gearbox fitted with a warning light. Please describe the light which is coming on. better still take the vehicle for a diagnostic scan and have the technician identify the fault(s) Regards John
head gasket is prime suspect unless its a auto with the transmission cooler in the rad it could be this leaking ,needs checking first though to determine if its engine oil or gearbox oil
The recent Ford Automatics do not all have a dipstick. You can remove a sight plug on the side of the Transmission and see if it is full as described in a repair manual, such as Chiltons or Haynes. These can be picked up at your local auto parts store, book store, or WalMart.
The idea is that these new transmissions and fluids are so reliable that you should not need to check it - between major servicing - such as changing the transmission filter and fluid. Depending on the model this should be at least around 50,000 miles.
