I have a 2010 escape 3 litre. Two wheel drive, does it have a transaxle case that needs drained. The only picture I could find makes it look like it is at the rear of the vehicle, which leads me to believe it is only the 4x 4 that has it ?

If I do have one could you please send me a picture that makes the location to drain it clear, bought the fluid not shure where to go from here,lol. Thanks a lot , paul

 

The drain plug for the transaxle is a 10mm plug that sticks out of the very bottom, flat part of the transmission. Its the only plug around it on the bottom flat part of the trans, kinda in the middle of nowhere.

 

Thank you I found it and did the job, it was not hard. I drained it then drove a few miles and drained it again and then check the level, all seem great. Could you please send me the link for the shop manual again! Need to buy one, PAUL
