- '00 XLT 2WD
My '00 XLT 2WD 4.0SOHC Explorer scared me yesterday when I dropped the trans. pan, changed the filter, bolted the pan back on correctly, then refilled with 4 1/2 qts of Mercon V. After the 4 qts were in and I was pouring in the last 1/2 I heard something under the car. There was a lot of AT fluid going into my waste container. I thought I had torn the gasket or something drastic. I have always thought that an AT was a closed system but it seems they may have an overflow. Does anyone know if this is directly behind the trans pan?
