I have the Ford Manuals and I am maintaining my daughter's and my 2000 Windstars, that is a total of two cars. Hers at 140,000+ and mine at 120,000+ and it is ATF replacement time. This is my first time to try this on the Windstars. Before, I had it done. I have the Ford manuals.
The Ford manual shows disconnecting the cooler return line, as is shown on other threads in this forum, but pumping only for enough time to loose 2 to 3 quarts, replace those with fresh fluid, and then fire it up again to get the other 10+ quarts. Is this the way it should go, or can you pump it all out, change the filter and gasket and then refill the tranny?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Jim
