Where does the transmission fluid go in a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
If you have the 5R55S transmission you will see a plug in the bottom of the transmission pan, slightly to the rear of the pan.
Are there transmission problems in a Mercury Mountaineer?
Our 2004 had trouble after quick stops- the engine would race and then finally shift into gear. It also started to leak. The guy at the transmission shop said that these are notoriously bad tranny’s and they’re only good for about 70K (ours had 63K).
What kind of Mercon does a Mercury Mountaineer use?
My 2001 Mountaineer’s 4R70W transmission overheats. I replaced the filter and drained the fluid from the torque converter drain plug. I filled the transmission with 12 quarts of Mercon V. The capacity is 13.9 quarts.
What kind of car is a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer?
We have an 2006 mercury mountaineer 4.0 ltr with the 5r55s trans. My wife was driving it and the orange wrench came up on the dash. We have a 160k on it with no major issues. So like you I read all the blogs and watched a lot of youtube.
What kind of trans does a mountaineer have?
I have a 2006 mountaineer premier edition AWD with a 6 speed trans and 31k miles. I have had it for 18 months and in the winter I heard a whining sound in the trans between 10 to 20 mph and shifts hard into gear. At higher speeds the noise disappears and runs fine.
