Gr8ride Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Hi, I have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited FWD. It has a little over 47K miles on it right now. I would like to change the transmission fluid but I don't know what type or how much fluid it takes to complete this project. The fluid that is in it now is clear and doesn't really have an odor. I thought it should be red right? Also, the other day I started experiencing a very rough 1st to 2nd shift under light acceleration. If I accelerate hard it shifts fine. All other shifts are normal. Thanks, Gr8ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgigowski Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Jumping on your thread... sorry, don't have any answers for you. I do know that trans fluid does have to be changed as early as you are but I guess it won't hurt. If you're thinking that'll clear up the rough shifting... you may have speed sensors going out like I am. Labor time is the issue as I understand the sensors (2) are in the 30 buck range. I heard Ford will charge 800 or so for the repair. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 The trans fluid is Mercon V, system capacity is about 12 quarts, but if you do a 3 time drain & fill to "flush" it, you need about 15 quarts, as each drain will net 5 quarts. Is it a rough shift, or a bump-type feeling? There is a TSB for a bump that occurs in the 0-8 mph range when turning a corner or accelerating from a stop. tsb11-05-06 Sluggish acceleration from stop or low speed followed by bump.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
