I’ve got a 05 - 500, it started jerking, some mechanics said it was the tranny but i checked, turned out the head gaskets were bad and they were leaking oil into the sparkplugs, changed all the gaskets and most of the jerks disappeared, need to change the coils but the engine now purs like a kitty, just need to do maintenance to the trans and i'm golden. Just wanted to share!
How many miles do you have and did you change the transmission fluid? My 06-500 has 200+ miles jerks whenever I change gears. I have a 6 speed automatic trans. Already did a tune up and changed spark plugs and coils.
@@TheMark0023 200+, check your Oxygen sensor also the air intake for blockages, do you hear any crushing sounds from the tranny?, if you Don’t there’s a solenoid on the tranny that may cause jerks when damaged. I did not change the oil
@@MexFallout thats good bro im surprised you did the head gaskets that must of been a big job. But yes they are kno for misfire due to the poor insulation from the main wire harness but its a easy fix
Just bought an 07 SEL 500 with 55k original miles car is mint from original owner...now I have 57k miles...should I change fluid at 60k or now or not at all because it's never been changed?
@@WS4WS6W72 i would still do the drain n fill method per the vid, So at least you know that the fluid is good. And congrats on ur purchase i hope you enjoy the Fivehundred
Went to Napa to get the ATF and they directed me to get Valvoline Mercon V. Owners manual just said it takes premium Automatic Transmission Fluid. I'm pretty new to all this, will the Mercon V work just fine?
@CreatingExcellence I asked that same question. I jacked up the car and changed the oil. While I was under the car I noticed that my trans didn’t have a pan nor filter like the ones I saw on other TH-cam videos meaning it’s a 6 speed automatic and not a cvt.
Yea when Aisin design the AW55 they did not think of maintenance for subsequent owners and a lot of manufacturers that use it did not know it does not have a serviceable filter
No sir please don’t mislead ppl ur oil change by the proper intervals n transmission has to be serviced also buy the proper time not “topping off” we are not talking bout wiper fluid 😂
@@ashtonstowe3450 😂🤣😂🤣thanks for the reply. i was going to do a complete fluid change lmao its these back yard mechanics around here got my wife thinking our transmission is going out and its not 😂 i just want to show her that its not smart To do a top off and not listen to back yard mechanics 😂 i bought the car from a old couple who purchased it new and only drove it on weekends came with all service receipts.

There is also a T-55 fill port on top of the transmission. Just need a long ass extension and it's easy breezy. It's a larger fill hole.
Yes u are correct
Thanks for the info I just got my sister's 2005 and going to do this soon for her
No problem bro good luck

Thank you sir I couldn’t find it
This is good information. I have a 2007 front wheel drive. What would be the transmission fluid we would use?
Thank you
Toyota TIV ($50 for 6 quarts on Amazon) or Red Valvoline ATF (make sure it says T-IV) on back
@@Alex-gq3zc
Some 2005 front wheel drives received the CVT.
Went to Napa to get the ATF and they directed me to get Valvoline Mercon V. Owners manual just said it takes premium Automatic Transmission Fluid. I'm pretty new to all this, will the Mercon V work just fine?
no that is not correct for this transmission. Only Motorcraft premium which is also interchangeable with Mobil 3309 or Toyota or Aisin Type T-IV.
I got a Fwd 07-500 with 177 thousand miles…will my transmission start slipping if I just do a drain and refill with new fluid
@@soulbrothanum1387 No just make sure you use the right Transmission fluid and level u should be fine
I'm afraid of what I'll find on the drain plug. It whines when I accelerate
U got the 6speed auto or CVT
Do both transmission options use the same flywheel?
@@ashtonstowe3450
They made these with an Aisin 6-spd. automatic ; or a CVT .
@@danielebbeling4056 I’m srry I thought this was my video on the jaguar my fault. But no the CVT and 6 speed use different flywheels
Why are you doing it again in a couple miles?
Because the new fluid will help clean out the solenoid’s and torque converter
Thanks
Glad i could help
I have a 2WD Limited... 06 FORD FIVE HUNDRED,
My 2WD FIVE HUNDRED has a CVT ! !
🤷
Are you SURE, 2WD Only ....
has a 6 Speed ? ?
I’ve read the fwd came with the 6 speed. How can you tell the difference by looking at the trans?
Lol the AWD will have a driveshaft and the cvt doesnt shift, it's a torque converter. @@CreatingExcellence

Wait, so it doesn't have a filter? At all? That seems pretty stupid.
Yea when Aisin design the AW55 they did not think of maintenance for subsequent owners and a lot of manufacturers that use it did not know it does not have a serviceable filter
catchy thumbnail pic
I've heard changing the fluids in these cars ruins them faster and its best to top them off and not to do a complete drain on oil and trans fluids..
