2009 Ranger 4x4 4L
My son had an accident and the Transmission Oil Cooler was broken at output port. So I changed it out and started adding transmission fluid to make up for what was lost when coasting it home. The fluid leaked all the way home so I assume that I didn't lose everything, however, when I checked the fluid level, no fluid registered on the stick.
Therefore, I started adding fluid thinking I needed to add the full amount or maybe 5 or 6 quarts. However, after three quarts (maybe 4), the fluid started coming out of the 'tube' (where the stick is housed) and on the back of the transmission on the drivers side.
I haven't moved my Ranger yet. But, I am leaving it overnight.
So my question are:
1. If I overfill the fluid, can the excess fluid come out of the transmission vents?
2. Is the transmission vents where I describe on the driver's side, back of the transmission?
3. How many quarts would be expected to be lost?
4. If I drain from the transmission oil cooler, how many quarts could I expect to drain from here or how many quarts could be expected to be needed to refill?
Thanks.
