Rick Atkins Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 On my 2015 Ford Fusion. 96,000 miles. I am having no issues at all, but am thinking about changing the transmission fluid. Automatic with a 2.5 liter engine. I don't think I want to flush and replace, but merely drain most of the fluid and replace. That would be, to me, the best way to add new fluid without disturbing too much. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rick Atkins and welcome to the Blue Oval Forums. Yes, no need for a power flush. However, what I would recommenced is finding a Ford Dealer or independent shop that uses a transmission fluid exchange machine (as opposed to a power flush macine). It will replace far more of the fluid than the DIY, drain/fill/drive, drain/fill/drive, drain/fill/drive method, but without the dangers (ever so slight) that a power flush can sometimes have in certain situations. In addition, if your 2015 Fusion is AWD, I would highly recommend you have the PTU and RDU fluids drained and filled. Although listed in the Maintenance Schedule as "Lifetime" fluids, they are not. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for sometime, have them replaced. I am sure others will also jump in to help, so keep us updated and good luck.

twintornados Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I had a 2000 Ford Focus with the 2.0L and automatic...began shifting harshly at around 120K miles....put a can of TransX fluid in it and drove it for a few weeks - then did a drain and fill with pan removal and filter replace. Buttoned it all up, put in fresh fluid (4-5 quarts IIRC) and had zero further issues with transmission. Shifted smoothly again. When I traded it in 2007 for a 2006 Fusion, the Ford dealer kept the car for 6-8 months as a service loaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
