• Q: How to service and repair the Transmission Pan on 2008 Ford Fusion?

  A: Service and repair operations on the transmission fluid pan require that workers position the vehicle in neutral mode at a hoist. Establish a complete transmission fluid drain by removing the drain plug which you should reinstall with 29 Nm (21 lb-ft) torque. The transmission fluid pan requires removal which needs bolt clearance followed by usage of specialized separation tools to break the sealer bead. The silicone needs to be completely removed from the transaxle case surfaces and transmission fluid pan using metal surface cleaner. Apply a 1.5-millimeter thick bead of sealer to the transaxle sealing surface by putting a proper amount onto the transaxle but never surpass the specified amount to stop transaxle internal damage. The tightness of the pan should be set at 7 Nm (62 lb-in) before you add clean transmission fluid into the transaxle.
