Try not to spill too much fluid. Dump fluid into pan and take to auto parts store for recycling. Remove old filter and o-ring. Insert new filter with o-ring. Replace pan. If it has a cork gasket, replace it. Otherwise, the rubber gaskets are made to be re-useable. Do NOT use any sealant on the gasket. Add new Mercon fluid. Run through the gears and then put in park and check fluid level while idling in park, on a level surface. Take off transmission oil pan. Try not to spill too much fluid.

They said my tranny was leaking in the front and rear seals. I was quoted $1179.00 to replace the seals alone or suggested to do a complete overhaul with a new torque converter ($379.00) for about $1800.00. I think I'll just keep adding fluid until I find a better deal. I have a 2001 Ford Windstar that I took to AAMOCO yesterday for a free diagnostic.
