 Show This transmission has a fill port on the transmission pan. Here are some diagrams (below) that will show you how to do the job. You basicly pump it in through the bottom and it will drain out the excess. Here is how you service it https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-service-an-automatic-transmission (Check out the diagrams below) Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheers Images (Click to enlarge) SPONSORED LINKS Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 AT 1:04 AM The normal process for filling the transmission would be through the dipstick tube. This will normally be located on the back side of the engine, near the firewall (rearmost part of engine compartment). Check the fluid first with the engine at normal temperature, while running, and in park. If the fluid is low, fill it to the required level with the manufacturer's recommended fluid type. Use caution to not over-fill. Be wary, some of the transmissions Ford placed in the Explorers do not have a dipstick tube. These transmissions were designed to be sealed when manufactured. Should any problems arise with the transmission, service or overhaul will be required by either the dealership or a qualified transmission repair facility. Saturday, August 21st, 2010 AT 10:46 PM

What tool do I need to add transmission fluid to my 2003 ford explorer? Saturday, November 18th, 2017 AT 8:50 PM (Merged) You need a special plug to go into the pan and a special cannister that hooks up to it. It's better tojust take it to a trans shop and have them do it. I'm sure they won't charge a huge amount to do it. Saturday, November 18th, 2017 AT 8:50 PM (Merged) 2002EXPLORER
Transmission problem my son is 16 and wanted to change his own oil and ended up draining the transmission fluid and overfilling the oil pan we drained the oil but can not find where to add trans fluid and there is no dip stick on this car. The car will not go forward or reverse. SPONSORED LINKS Saturday, November 18th, 2017 AT 8:50 PM (Merged) Unfortunatly this was one of Ford's dumber ideas. There is no
dipstick! The drain plug, which your son removed, has a threaded plug in the center of it, which requires a torques bit to remove. Ford made a special tool to thread into this hole. It may be available now through off-brand retailers but i'm not sure of that. Then you are suppose to connect a small hose to the tool and pump the fluid into the trans. You can use a single quart container with a pointed tip and turn it upside down and accomplish the same thing by squeezing the bottle. The trans is
full when the fluid runs out at a steady drizzle, while the engine is running with the trans in Neutral. If you have drained the fluid, though, I would suggest adding two quarts first without the vehicle running, then start it and place it in Neutral. Remember that if the vehicle is not on a lift, block the tires in both directions and and apply the Park Brake. Use only Mercon V fluid. Trans failure can (and will) occur if the wrong fluid is placed in the trans. Saturday, November 18th, 2017 AT 8:50 PM (Merged) SLEEPAY

On the bottom of the trans pan there is a hex plug with a small torxs plug in the middle. If you want to check your trans fluid LEVEL you need
to remove the center plug after the vehicle is running in neutral. (Dont't forget to set the park prake) If you get a stream of fluid, it is fullMy suggestion would be, if you want to check the CONDITION of the fluid, take it somewhere. It is not easy to replace the fluid if you loose to much taking the plug out. If you need any other info, give a shout.
