My 1998 Ford Contour is leaking transmission fluid where the rubber seal is. How do I remove the filler tube? Is it threaded, or does it just pull out?
Thanks!

and get the best informed info from people who have had this problem.... but i think that you have one screw holding down the part of the tube that goes into the trans. remove the one screw and then pull it out and then put new O-ring on the dip stick tube and install and put the screw back in......
Jim,
Thanks for the info. I actually just went to the contour.org site and it is so big it is overwhelming. I am going to look for the screw and peruse the site a little bit more.

Hey Jim Thanks,
I got the filler tube out. Unfortunately the O-ring looks okay. I was hoping it would be dry-rotted or torn which would confirm my suspicions that the fluid was leaking from there.
Brian.
even if the O-ring looks OK, replace it and clean up where it is mated to so it will seal correctly.... you did say it was leaking from there didn't you?
