    I have a 2002 XLt and I just noticed while doing an oil change that
    there is no transmission dip stick(?) I then checked the owners
    manual, first item ;-), and it said that there was no maintanence
    needed for the transmission. Has there been some amazing advance in transmission technology, that checking the fluid and replacing it on a regular basis is no longer needed?

    Is it still possible to have the fluid changed, or is the system
    sealed? Anyway I don't feel comfortable with this, since previous
    generation Explorers are known for bad trannies. Has the transmission reliablity improved since the early model years, or is Ford using a
    different transmission than in the past? AAmco must be wetting
    themselves waiting for all the future rebuilt transmission business
    they are going to get a few years from now.
