UPDATE. Instead of disconnecting the hose at the bottom of the trans cooler It is much easier to go right to the transmission in front of the left front wheel. I do not have the tool to disconnect the hose so I just removed the nipple on the transmission with a 17mm wrench. I put the end of the removed nipple into a 3ft peice of heater hose. I took 3 milk jugs and marked them at 3 quarts. I started the engine and pumped out 3 quarts, then put 3 in,replaced the jug with another and repeated. I did this 3 times with 9qts of ford LV fluid. When done I put the nipple back into the transmission. I looks to be a fine thread so be carefull and mine is not leaking but I should have used locktight or rtv sealant. email me if I can help you do yours mgrant0606@aol.com The fluid was about $60 at a ford dealer.

Washer wiper issues
mike56 replied to KM272's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
When I first got my transit the wipers were bad. I put on a new set of nothing special and they worked... I just changed them again to Bosch ICON....oh boy.....really nice does a great job.... -
The above note sounds easy but after finding the cooler it will have its issues. On the front of the vehicle to the right of the licence plate if you look throught the black cowel and up you will see the return of what I believe is the trans cooler. I think the best way to get to it would be to remove the black coweling and work from the front of the vehice....I will update when I do this. Dont hold your breath I will be waiting utill it gets warm.

Towing with the Transit Connect
mike56 replied to isellford's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Towing & Upfit Packages
I tow a 900lb 8X10 enclosed cargo trailer. When I tow I do not use overdrive. I think the vehicle is rated for 3500 -
The cabin filter holder is under the passenger side black plastic that sits just at the bottom of the windsheild on the outside of the vehicle. about 8 screws hold it in place. In the filter holder is a peice of plastic that is of the same size as the filter and filled with square half inch holes.. That peice is removed and the filter is install in its place.

Headlight adjustment
mike56 replied to mike56's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
I Found it!!!!....it is the hole in the corner brace from the fender to the front. It is an allen hole that when turned adjusts the up or down of the head light. I was not using a long enough tool and could not turn it. I was using one of those fold out allen sets... -
My headlights are pointed way too high. I cannot find the adjustment screws. I do see a hole in the corner brace. under it is a allen hole which when I turn it nothing happens. Know how to remove the headlight assembly buy how do you adjust it?? I will keep checking but please email if you can. mgrant0606@aol.com
