My trans fluid gets really hot after about 2 miles from 70 deg far to 132 deg f

It is not really needed to add to the existing but isn't going to hurt a thing. Changing the fluid should be done every 60,000 miles or per your manuals guidelines.

Very common Transmission code - solution # 1 check to be sure Fluid is full . If not trans code sent plus will turn on check engine light or service engine soon . # 2 be sure condition of fluid is Good / Not worn out . Fluid must be Red / Reddish in color Cold and When hot- warm still have red / even lighter than when cold .# 3 if a higher than 50,000 mile car used in heavy rush hour traffic during hot weather then change fluid to give it fresh oil / Trans will fight heat better and save you a $$ 2000 repair bill . # 4 most important of all you can save a Trans by adding Lucas Trans treatment it is $ 20 some places but well worth $$ to extend life of vehicle if one in need of saving $$ .This can even be added to existing fluid if color is still reddish .

You Change Trans & Power Steering Fluids every
30,000 miles on ALL Vehicles

I don't suggest flushing,some people do

If you want to chance having problems get
it flushed

You remove all the fluid it may just start to slip

You have to understand that fluid changes DO NOT FIX
A THING

The fluid removes heat & breaks down
That is why it is changed

I would assume you don't flush brake fluid every 2 years
Trans & Steering every 3 years,not over 30,000 miles
Spark Plugs at 60,000 miles

When you buy a used vehicle you lay it up for two weeks
& work on it,never drive it
All Preventative maintenance gets done,regardless
of what you were told about the vehicle

The clutch apply seals may have hardened and the additive is just a patch for now.

Your trans is about the same as a Lincoln LS
and newer Mustangs

A transmission is due for a rebuild, usually
before 150,000 miles. (I used to own a trans
repair shop)

I won't address most of your questions because
it is unreasonable to expect anything from a vehicle
manufacturer after the warrantee is up

The only thing you get, is when there is a Govt mandated
recall,then they have to do something.

Ford transmissions especially transaxles are only good for
70 to 100,000 miles
Your will go a long way if you change your fluid every
30,000 miles and add a bottle of red lubegard.
No one does that. It should be done on all vehicles
as well as power steering at the same 30,000 miles.

The most common problem is the solenoid pressure
pack. Most people can not detect a trans issue and continue
to drive it until internal issues develop. All makes and Models

You can not buy a new trans
They are only new on the assy line
You rebuild your and correct all the problems
your addressing or install a reman and hope they
were updated.

Don't expect ford to be on their game,the after
market will be though. Trans shops,parts venders,etc

There is NO such thing as a maintenance free trans

I used to own a trans repair business

If you do not change trans fluid on any and all
automatic transmissions every 3 years and
NEVER more than 30,000 miles ,it is like
a death sentence for that trans. Three hot
summers of driving and kiss it good buy.
The oil over heats,and breaks down over time

Todays high tech vehicles run hot, and now have
5,6,7,speeds in them. Two people can not get them
to the work bench, as in the past.
So do you think Mike Rowe's Ford commercials really work?

The Companies that make vehicles do it for one reason. MONEY
They don't care if they last or their dealers techs can get there hands in
around anything, to even work on it. Try it some time

If your trans slips and is 8 or 9 years old, you already exceeded fords life expectancy
They tell you 100,000 miles. Try running a spark plug that long or trans oil,or power steering
fluid.
People are losing trans,steering racks and have all kinds of issues, for decades, because
of lack of common sense,or any knowledge of a vehicles needs. The MFG's love it
They even take your hard earned tax dollars and nothing changes

OK, how hot does it get? It's normal for a vehicle on a hot day to get up to 220 deg. F or 230 deg. F and function normally. There is nothing wrong with cars that get this hot, and in a sealed cooling system of 15 psi or so, there should be no driveability problems stemming from this.

If you were able to travel 30 miles and not boil over, then it's probably, ok.

Make sure your fan is turning on regularly for the radiator, and that you're not losing fluid. Your car should be fine.

I have seen many of these cars come in the shop with over 200,000 miles with the orignal trans.

They say those should be changed every 20 000km. Hope this helps.

This is a really messy job, but here is what u must do, jack the truck off the ground and secure with safety stands, there is a sheet metal pan on the bottom of the transmission, remove it, fluid will go everywhere, do u have a large drain pan? measure the fluid drained out and put the same amount back in, the run the engine until the trans fluid is hot at least 180 deg Fahrenheit, recheck the trans fluid level and top off, donot overfill!! u can destroy the trans if u do.
