2001 Lincoln LS Transmission Flush Question

[DaleGrib]

What will I need to put fluid into the transmission? I know I will need some kind of pump obviously to put it in but what do you guys recommend? Are there any special connectors? Can anyone give me a list of what I will need to do the fluid change? I am changing out my valve body and solenoid pack and wanted to go ahead and do the flush just wanted to do it correct.

Transmission fill adapter. Available through Advance or O'Reillys, (plus others).

Part # OTC6604

+

Airtex E8016 electric fuel pump
wire and alligator clips
6ft of clear vinyl tubing, (3/8" if I remember right... might be 5/16")

Or you can do it the hard way... and hand pump 10 or so quarts in.

Plan on getting a new drain plug and gasket,,, because the fill tube plug in the drain plug is usually froze... and the allen hex strips out. The drain plug assembly is reasonable from the dealer,,, but the gasket for the plug is sold separately for some reason.

The gasket I mentioned was for the drain plug assembly. Dealer price for the drain plug assembly is around $15 last I knew. The gasket for the drain plug is another couple dollars.

Don't have them readily available. Just call the dealer. Far as I know they aren't available aftermarket anyway.
