High Pressure Air, Lubrication and Oil
Test Equipment
See alsoLubricants and Greases.
Always keep high-pressure equipment in good
condition, and regularly maintained, particularly at
joints and unions.
Never direct a high-pressure nozzle, for example
diesel injector, at the skin as the fluid may
penetrate to the underlying tissue, and cause
serious injury.

Legal Aspects
There are many laws and regulations relating to
health and safety in the use and disposal of
materials and equipment in a workshop.
For a safe working environment and to avoid
environmental pollution, workshops should be
familiar, in detail, with the many health and safety
laws and regulations within their country, published
by both national and local authorities.
Lubricants and Greases
Avoid all prolonged and repeated contact with
mineral oils. All lubricants and greases may be
irritating to the eyes and skin.
Transmission Fluids
Safety instructions
Certain Transmission and Power Steering fluids
supplied to Ford may contain additives which have
the potential to cause skin disease (dermatitis) to
exposed persons. The dermatitis may be irritant
or allergic in nature. Risks are higher where
prolonged or repeated skin contact with a fluid may
occur. These fluids are used for vehicle initial fill
and service purposes. This sub-section is to: • Inform Service personnel who may come into
contact with these vehicle fluids (hazard
communication).
• Summarise appropriate workplace control measures and personal protective equipment
requirements.
• Draw attention to the existence of Material Safety Datasheets (MSDS's) for the fluids
(available from Ford Customer Service Division).
These MSDS's contain detailed information on
hazards and appropriate controls.
Control measures
Workplace risk assessments made under national
chemical control regulations should identify
operations involving the fluids as potentially
hazardous and specify workplace control and
worker awareness measures. In such
circumstances, the relevant Material Safety
Datasheet (see the details specified below) which
specifies hazards and control measures in detail
should be made available for guidance.
Avoid unprotected skin contact with the fluids, and
in particular, avoid prolonged or repeated skin
contact. Work practices should be organised so as
to minimise the potential for skin contact. This may
include the use of drip trays, absorbents, correct
fluid handling equipment (funnels etc), and
workplace housekeeping measures such as the
cleaning of contaminated surfaces.
Personnel engaged in operations where skin
contact could occur (such as fluid draining or filling)
should wear impervious gloves made from nitrile
rubber, certified to a chemical protection standard,
e.g. Europe Standard EN374. This glove type is
widely available from reputable suppliers of gloves
for chemical protection [including the manufacturers
Ansell-Admont (Solvex Range), North Safety
products (North Nitrile Latex Gloves range), and
Marigold Industrial (Blue Nitrile range)]. If gloves
become torn or contaminated on the inside they
should be replaced. Eye protection with safety
glasses is appropriate. Use of an impervious apron
and arm protectors may be necessary if more
extensive exposure is possible. Use of skin barrier
creams suitable for work with mineral oil products
may offer some supplementary protection, but such
barrier creams should not be used in place of
protective clothing.
If accidental skin contact occurs with the fluids,
wash the area thoroughly with soap or skin
cleanser and water.

Design:
• The gear ratios are achieved by means of acombined planetary gear set on the input side
and a Simpson set on the output side.
– The combined planetary gear set consists oftwo different, simple planetary gear sets. It
has a similar structure to a Ravigneaux set,
but with just one sun gear that engages with
the front planetary gears.
• Three multi-plate clutches
• Four multi-plate brakes • One band brake
• Two one-way clutches
The TCM adapts the gear changing to ensure that
the correct gear is selected for the style of driving,
the engine load, driver requirements, vehicle speed
etc.
The TCM features a self-learning strategy.
This leads to lower fuel consumption together with
improved comfort through smoother gear changes
and lower noise levels.

Transmission Fluid Level Check
E126079
WARNING: Beware, risk of scalding when
checking the transmission fluid.
NOTE: Refer to the service literature for the exact
procedure and specifications.
In order for the transaxle to function properly, it is
vital that the transmission fluid level is correct. If the transmission fluid level is excessively low, this
becomes noticeable by a rattling noise at the fluid
pump, etc.
Always use transmission fluid to the indicated
specification (WSS-M2C924-A).
The transmission fluid temperature is determined
using IDS.
It must be ensured that the transmission fluid
temperature is within the range specified in the
workshop literature.
The following conditions must be met in order to
carry out the transmission fluid level check
correctly:
• Ensure that the transaxle is not in limp home
mode.
• Place the vehicle on a level surface.
• Move the selector lever to the 'P' position.
• Make sure that the parking brake is fully applied.
• Run the engine at idle speed.
• Move the transmission selector lever to all positions. In doing so, wait until the transmission
engages the corresponding range.
• Move the selector lever back to the 'P' position.
• Pull out the fluid dipstick.
When the predetermined transmission fluid
temperature is reached, the fluid level shown on
the dipstick must be in the middle between 'MIN'
and 'MAX'. In this case, the fluid level is correct.

Under normal conditions, the transmission fluid is
filled for the service life of the transaxle and does
not need to be changed.
Under high loads (driving with a trailer or in
mountains etc.) it may be necessary to change the
transmission fluid.
To drain the transmission fluid, remove the fluid
drain plug.
Proceed as follows when topping off the
transmission fluid:
• Remove the return line from the fluid cooler to the transaxle on the transaxle. Close off the
connection on the transaxle using a plastic plug.
• Join the return line to a transparent pipe. The transparent pipe ends in the fluid reservoir in
order to collect the fluid.
• To top off the transmission fluid, insert a transparent pipe in the guide tube of the dipstick
and add approx. 2.0 liters of transmission fluid. • Move the selector lever to the 'P' position and
allow the engine to run at idle speed.
• Switch off the engine if air bubbles become visible in the transparent pipe to the fluid
reservoir.
• Top off approx. 2 liters of transmission fluid and allow the engine to run at idle speed. Switch off
the engine if air bubbles become visible in the
transparent pipe to the fluid reservoir.
• Top up the transmission fluid until the fluid level for cold fluid is indicated on the dipstick in the
middle between 'MIN' and 'MAX'.
• Then check the transmission fluid level.
Refer to the service literature for the exact
procedure and specifications.
NOTE: If the transmission fluid has been changed,
the counter for fluid change intervals must be reset
using IDS.
