Replacing the working fluid and filter in an automatic transmission CTX

Under normal vehicle use, the Ford maintenance plan calls for periodic ATF replacement, including filter replacement, every 45,000 km (45,000 km) of the vehicle. But if, during a regular check of the liquid, the darkening of the liquid to black is noted or it smells of burning (especially common when driving a car at low speed and in traffic jams), reduce the fluid change interval. If you decide to change the fluid yourself, do not forget to replace the filter, as during operation it has collected many small particles of wear on the surface of the conical discs and the steel multi-link belt.

The gearbox is a very complex unit, so its repair must be carried out in a specialized workshop. Before repairing the gearbox, it is necessary to determine the nature of the malfunction (electrical, mechanical or hydraulic). Do not remove the transmission from the vehicle for repair before the problem has been professionally determined, as most tests require the transmission to be on the vehicle.
