Can I use this to drain transmission fluid from my Ford Freestar van?

This vacuum pump manually operated, I assume if you can run the plastic tube to the transmission fluid, then you can pump it out.

Most transmission fill locations are the same on cars. If your car has a transmission dipstick you should be fine. However, if the dipstick is in the rear of the engine bay then you may need a longer length piece of hose. You can get 3/8 inch PVC tubing from home depot for Appx $2 for 10 feet. You should have more than enough to reach the bottom of your drain pan and suck out all the fluid. Good luck!

There is a plug on the bottom of one end. Whether it can be used to hook up a gravity feed, I don't know, as there isn't much room between thetank and the side of the pick-up. I only used it for a drain plug when I removed the tank(I traded for a gas model truck and the tank cannot be used for gasoline).

I don't know because I purchased it to drain the tank on My snow blower, sorry I couldn't help! Try online to the manufacturer maybe they can give You the info.

Yes. I'm currently using this in my 2002 Ford Taurus.If you are having transmission issues this might help. However, this is not a miracle in a bottle. Something very close to it, but not a miracle. If you are already having transmission issues. I would reccommend that you do a coolant line ATF change with a Mercon V rated fluid or and add one fl oz of Lubegard Red to that for every quart in your transmission, and if that does not work double the dosage to 2 fluid oz per quart. Also, if you have not dropped the transmission pan and cleaned it out, that is a great starting point also.

I usually add it to the transmission fluid a couple thousand miles before I do a fluid and filter change, but you have to be careful of not over filling the transmission. In the case I can not do this, I will do a fluid/filter change, add the cleaner and leave it in until the next change. Havent had any problems and it has worked well for me.

It probably would work but, I would not recommend it for that task. It's designed to pump gear oil not gasoline. I would purchase a pump designed specifically for gas.

Yes, it is! Do not drain any excisting Transmission Oil. Just poor the complete n=750 ml in your transmission. Let it work for a week, than check your dipstick again. If it needs morepoor another Lucas 10009 Transmission Fix 24 oz. in your Toyota Hybrid. If it is overfilled and holds the liquid after the week of use, drain just enogh to level it. Engine must be hot!

You could but unless you have a very long hose on the output and/or low water pressure what's the point? This is not a pressure washer, just a poor to mediocre transfer pump.

For what? This is tranmission fluid for newer vehicles. I would check your owners manual or call the dealer to confirm this is the appropriate fluid for you vehicle. I have used this in a 2002 Volvo XC70 and a 2008 Toyota Camry.

The hose is too large a diameter to fit into the trans dipstick tube. Does your vehicle have a drain plug for the trans? Best bet is to have your repair shop do a "transmission flush" This removes all of the old fluid and replaces it with fresh.

Yes. There will be an transmission fluid cooler at the bottom side of that radiator that you just leave alone.

I used it to pump transmission fluid and it took about 5 minutes per quart. It works but if your looking something that we really transfer a lot of oil quickly and many times then I would go find something much more rugged. At $30 it pays for itself the 1st time you use it to swap transmisstion fluid. That's the way I look at it. I hope it keeps working and has worked to move gas. Never tried it on engine oil but I think it would work also. I would also flush it after uses with something just to get residuel/potentialy harmful to the pump out of it instead of letting it sit in the pump. It's plastic!!

I've used this to transfer fuel and it worked well. However, make sure the tubes are inserted firmly because the pressure can cause the exhaust tube to fall off and thus cause fluid to spill all over. In my case, it was gasoline..not fun!

It will work if the leak isn't too great. This stuff works by chemically and materially expanding the synthetic materials used in the seals and clutches. This is why it worked on my vans transmission. This stuff only prolongs the inevitable. In time or miles, especially with the clutches, there won't be enough original material for this stuff to "glob" onto and the transmission will no longer function. As for seals, it may take a little longer to eventually fail. This product did not work on an old Ford Probe I bought as a parts car as the transmissions clutches Were just too far gone.

if you have a 5 speed automatic v6 engine Avalon ltd. this will not work.your trans requires D6 fluid.see application guide-http://www.redlineoil.com/application.aspx

This worked well changing the oil in my boat engines. The small suction hose fit easily down the dipstick. I don't see why it wouldn't work for your transmission.

Double check the specs....but I think it would do fine. It is pretty universal in its application.....I would do the "Full Monty". I'd put in a trans flush and run for an hour.....the trick is draining the torque converter. There are good YouTube videos on unhooking the lines and using the new fluid to run all the old out (my GMC held 17 qts). You can save $150 over a shop flush. I would say that you MUST evacuate all the old fluid. Just for grins....put in a pint of the additive....it REALLY smoothed mine out. Hey, this worked well for me.
