2007 Lincoln Town Car Transmission Fluid Change
Introduction
The transmission fluid in your 2007 Lincoln Town Car is responsible for lubricating the gears and other moving parts of the transmission. Over time, the transmission fluid can become dirty and contaminated, which can lead to transmission problems. Changing the transmission fluid regularly is important to keep your transmission running smoothly and efficiently.
Materials Needed
- New transmission fluid (5 quarts)
- Transmission filter
- Transmission pan gasket
- Wrench
- Funnel
- Drain pan
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Safety First
Before you start working on your car, make sure to park it on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Allow the engine to cool down completely before you begin.
2. Locate the Transmission Pan
The transmission pan is located at the bottom of the transmission. It is usually held in place by bolts or screws. Locate the transmission pan and remove the bolts or screws that hold it in place.
3. Drain the Transmission Fluid
Place the drain pan under the transmission pan. Carefully remove the transmission pan and allow the transmission fluid to drain into the pan.
4. Replace the Transmission Filter
Once the transmission fluid has drained, you can replace the transmission filter. The transmission filter is usually located inside the transmission pan. Remove the old transmission filter and install the new one.
5. Replace the Transmission Pan Gasket
The transmission pan gasket is a rubber gasket that seals the transmission pan to the transmission. Remove the old transmission pan gasket and install the new one.
6. Reinstall the Transmission Pan
Carefully reinstall the transmission pan and tighten the bolts or screws that hold it in place.
7. Add New Transmission Fluid
Use a funnel to add new transmission fluid to the transmission. Add 5 quarts of new transmission fluid to the transmission.
8. Check the Transmission Fluid Level
Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes. Shift the transmission through all of the gears and then back to park. Check the transmission fluid level on the dipstick. The transmission fluid level should be between the “min” and “max” marks on the dipstick.
Conclusion
Changing the transmission fluid in your 2007 Lincoln Town Car is a relatively simple and straightforward procedure. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can save yourself time and money by doing it yourself.
