On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick
a 95 mercuy cougar takes anywhere from 5 to 7 quarts of transmission fluid
it uses Mercon V at transmission fluid. both automatic and manual transmission
Dip stick tube
check your owners manual?
Manual transmissions dont use fluid, they use a kind of grease.
It is leaking. Have a complete fluid and filter change. Replace the pan gasket.
Just like all automatic transmission cars, remove the oil pan.
take plug out and drain the fluid plug found behind drivers side wheel
On a 1995 Mercury Cougar : The automatic transmission fluid level dipstick is in the engine compartment , near the firewall , towards the passenger side of the engine ( at the rear of the engine where the transmission is bolted to the engine )
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
I heard that you pour it into the tube that holds the dipstick where you ckeck the transmission fluid. They said use a funnel and pour it in the tube the stick goes in.
