ok. So today I am parked in a gravel parking lot...started to leave and I hear a horrible noise...thought for sure I blew a tire. Got out...noticed it was a rock I had run over. no body damage...no problem. I drive on.
I drive about 6 miles...maybe 7-8 mins...and I notice it is slipping a little. A minute later i feel a little slip again...and thought...I wonder if its possible I am leaking tranny fluid? So I found a parking lot and stopped. Sure enough there was a stream of fluid comming out the bottom of the transmission pan.
I hope that I can get new pan, and fluid, and move on...
The questions I have. First...i can not seen to find a pan online anywhere. I cant even find it on the ford parts sites...Is there a different name for this? I have no idea where to find it, or what its going to cost. Second...what is the likelyhood that in that amount of time I did any real damage to the tranny itself. I was not pushing it...I was driving in town, 30-40mph...
Here are the details.
2005 Taurus ( I think SES? it was a rental car I am pretty sure)
3.0 I think its the OHV? I KNOW it is the flex fuel.
I dont know which tranny.
122k miles
no mods...
Thanks in advance.
