Q: How to change transmission fluid and filter on Mercury Lynx?
A: The necessary transmission fluid and a new filter must be bought prior to work commencement. Draining the fluid is done after driving the vehicle. You should raise up the vehicle and put a drain pan under it. Take out all the bolts apart from two at the back corners of your pan. Loosen the remaining bolts until you can separate the pan from the transaxle case. Allow the fluid to drain completely. Removing the pan and cleaning it is next. The old filter and seal should be removed. Replace them with another one that has a seal attached to it and bolted on transaxle. Put a new gasket on top of pan then connect it to the transaxle case. You must tighten all pan bolts as required. Finally, lower down your vehicle before filling up its transaxle with fluid again. Start the engine, shift through all positions, and check the level of fluid in transmission.
