"Total" Transmission fluid change without Flush

[Sgt Fast]

its super easy to change and while you are in the transmission it would be smart to change the O-rings because if it does start to leak you would loose the $100 in transmission fluid you just put in because to fix it requires the pan to be dropped.

There is a definite procedure. Chris@freedommotorsports helped me with it. Bottom line is that you must check the final fluid level with the engine/trans at operating temperature, and you WILL burn your hand doing so due to the very close proximity between the exhaust and the dipstick.

The leak is not a slow leak. One day everything is fine, the next there is a puddle on the ground. More than likely you wont notice an issue until you park on a hill.

You dont park on a hill so who cares? Well if fluid can get out, dust and dirt can get in. Hill or no hill, if you are changing the fluid in a 2010 it is a good idea to upgrade the bulk head connector if you havent already done so.

You wont leak out all your fluid, but it will be a notiable amount.

OK, here is an E-Bay listing for the connector for 18 bucks, which I assume comes with all new o-rings:

Genuine Ford 6L2Z 7G276 AA Connector | eBay

As opposed to the o-rings only for about $9:

BL3Z7Z276A Seal Ford | eBay

Does this apply to 2014s?
