Transmission Does the esacapes use the same four speed automatic transmission as the mazda tributes?

A loud whining noise on acceleration in a 2010 Mazda Tribute could be a sign of a few different issues. Here are some potential causes:

1. Power steering pump: A whining noise can be an indication of a failing power steering pump. The noise may increase when the steering wheel is turned.
2. Alternator: If the whining noise increases with engine speed, the alternator may be failing. This is because the alternator is responsible for charging the battery and powering the car's electrical system.
3. Transmission: A whining noise during acceleration could also be a sign of transmission issues, such as low transmission fluid levels, worn bearings, or a damaged gear.
4. Differential: A whining noise that increases with speed could also be a sign of a failing differential. This is the part of the car that transfers power from the engine to the wheels.

It's important to have a professional mechanic diagnose and fix the issue to prevent further damage to your vehicle.

do not muck about get the car to an automatic transmission specialist. Sounds like serious malfunction of your auto transmission. Could be something to do with either a transmission cooling system failure or damaged bands in the auto transmission .

2004 Mazda Tribute / Ford Escape Transmission trouble ...

If there is a drain plug, it will be on the bottom transmission pan. If no drain plug, the transmission is drained by loosening the pan bolts and lowering one end of the pan till most is drained. Then remove the pan.

find transmission then look for wires going to it. The plug is sometimes out of sight but the wires will help find the switch.

since you had a water mixed with transmission fluid,the only thing I personally believe that is no need to continue playing with as the water is the worst enemy of the automatic transmission. makes all the o rings to expand and corrosion . It happened to me a while ago and I reconditioned the Gear box.

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL FIRST.MAKE SURE ITS NOT LOW IF ALL IS GOOD YOU HAVE INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM LIKE DAMAGE PLANETARY CARRIER ASSEMBLY.

Sounds like it could possibly be a vaccume problem, the computer sees that the vaccume has a low pressure and thus fludding the engine, or visa versa, it's seeing too high of a pressure and cutting the fuel comsumption to a minumum enough to make the engine sputter and die.. Does this happen when the cars in Netural or Reverse or Park? Just Drive?
