The following service procedure supercedes the 1985 Car Shop Manual for removing the MTX transaxle fill plug whenever checking or adding fluid.
Transaxle Fluid Level Check
Transaxle fluid level checks must be made with the vehicle level and the engine turned off. The fluid level can be checked by removing the fill plug
utilizing a straight (no universal joint) 3/8" drive, 6 inch socket extension. The correct fluid fill will be even with the bottom edge of the filler plug
opening or within a quarter inch of this level. If the fluid is low, add either Motorcraft Type F (ESW-M2C33-F) or Motorcraft Dexron II, or equivalent
transmission fluid.
