My 2008 ford escape transmission and speedometer is not working

SOURCE: 2008 ford escape transmission cooler failure

Hello! it is very unfortunate your situation. it is **** service departments staffed with incompetence. i have made a 20 year career out of the automotive industry, the last 16 with dealerships. i pride myself in customer service and frown on all of the hacks that are out there ruining a good name. Yes fors has had issues with the "combo cooler" it is a condenser for the airconditioning and cooler for the tranmsision. when repairs are performed @ the dealership, it carries a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty when they use oem parts. you stated it has been 2 coolers in 13 months? the warranry is based off of the original installation. not each addition failure should they occur. now that this is understood. your dealership has the ability to utilize their "CLP" budget to satisfy your needs. this is caled a P18. CLP stands for customer loyalty program. it is a tool that dealerships can use to help people in situations like yours. HOVEVER there are 2 questions they ask on the form to be submitted..is the customer a maintenance customer of the ford dealership and do they have an extended warranty. if the answer is no to either question....welll..you get the point. i do beleive they should assist you by maybe discounting the parts and labor in the interest of your return visits. as i tyoe this long drawn out letter, i wonder if the canadian warranties are different or for that matter if you have the complimentary powertrain warranty that comes with fords sold in USA it is a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty. if the advisor looks up coverage by using fords computer system and inputs the true part number of condenser...it would say not covered....but the failure is actually the transmision cooler..which if was seperate from the condenser, would have a different part number...that part number may come up as a covered repair...hmmmm...i will check this for you tomorrow @ work and get back to you

SOURCE: ABS & traction control just went out on 2008 Ford Escape.

Chances are it is a bad ABS sensor. Need to get scanned to know for sure and which one.
Not much i know but I hope that helps.

The larger drain plug was a 22mm or 7/8 most likely.
The smaller inner plug was a 1/8 pipe plug.

You need an adapter Otc 6604, from auto parts store or what works better is an 1/8 pipe thread, hose barb fiiting.

Why? Because you have two choices to add new trans fluid. Mercon V in your case. Either through the 3/8 pipe plug on the upper right side of the tail housing,as you look to the front, or through that small 1/8 fitting in the center of the drain plug. The bad news is, you will need to blow it in from a specially designed container,worth about $120.00. I have one and it works great,if you have an air compressor. You could make your own.

The idea is to fill the trans,warm it up to 180 degrees and any extra fluid will run back down your fill tube,attached to that adapter you put into the center of the drain plug.

If you check out the drain plug you will see a tube on it. that is the hot (180) full level.

I would pull the pan and wash or wipe out any clutch material and clean the magnet. The pan gasket is silicone and reusable. Be carefull not to pry on the shift selector switch removing the pan.

The fill is about four to four and a half qts. Should measure what came out and also compare to the fill, till it runs out the center plug proceedure.

I drain and fill twice,drive a week or two and repeat,if no slipping or other odd drivability issues with the trans

Also, pull the injector fuses and crank over the engine,and pump out the power steering fluid. Remove the smaller return hose at the reservoir and put into a bottle. Flush about a quart through, but try not to run it dry. Should be regular mercon or V, check your manual.

SOURCE: I have a 2001 ford escape 2.0 L 4 Cyl with 5 speed Manual Transmission. Recently had the clutch replaced with in a week the speedometer would be eratic but not all the time then after about a month on

Definitely not an expert here, but exactly the same symptoms after a clutch replacement. I found one of the wires going to the connector on the harness side of the Vehicle Speed Sensor pulled in two. Can only surmise that during the clutch installation this connector wasn't disconnected and during movement of the transmission to get to the clutch was put under tension causing the failure. I haven't confirmed the solution yet, but pretty sure I'm on the right track.
