Hey folks,

I have a 2005 mustang v6 automatic. I was changing my oil this weekend, and honestly, I'm not sure how I did this, but I drained my transmission fluid. And as you all should know, you cannot add transmission fluid. You have to take it to a place that has some sort of special pump or something because they put transmission fluid in through the drain plug. I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever done this on accident, or am I alone on this one?

 

i personally never have, but i used to work at jiffy lube[8D]that alone should let you know that your not alone[&:][8D]

 

Oh, good, good. I feel so stupid though, how in the world could i have made that mistake. i was running on only 30 minutes of sleep though....that might have had something to do with it [&:]

 

If it's an automatic you should be able to fill the tranny through the dipstick tube.

 

How in the world do you accomplish something like that. I have done some pretty ****ed up things while messing around with my car but I have never "accidently" drained my tranny. lmao

I will give you major points for draining your tranny unintentionally while changing your oil.[8D]

 

+1 indisposible, this post got me a good laugh

 

hey it happens it could have been worse

he could have drained his turn signal fluid

but as X said if its automatic stick a funnel in the dip sick thats where you fill it at slowly it the T5's you ahve to fill a funny way of which im not sure how

 

I've drained a couple tranny's on accident before,it happenes, but none of them were RWD.

 

When I worked at Valvoline I accidently took the tranny filter off a Saturn instead of the oil filter. Lost about a pint of fluid and the filter was pretty messed up b/c I used the wrench on it but I just put it back on lol.

 

Lol. I know that this is pretty funny. and to X and moontang, the 2005 v6s dont have a transmission dipstick. there is no way for you to add any transmission fluid, if you even want the transmission fluid checked, you have to take it to a dealership, and they have to hook up some fancy computer to it, and then they get a read out of how much you have, and they add transmission fluid through the drain plug!!!! That seems like a way to just make money to me, but i still love my stang!!!!!
