To examine the transmission fluid in a 2012 Ford Focus, locate the dipstick labeled for transmission fluid. After wiping the top, remove it from the dipstick tube. For the Ford Focus, you'll only find the dipstick on the automatic transmission; the manual transmission has a fluid plug instead. By opening the hood and inserting the dipstick, you can check the transmission fluid level and color to ensure it's not dirty. Replacement dipsticks can be purchased for $20 to $40, depending on the brand and quality.
Vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions are the only ones that come with a fluid dipstick, located in close proximity to the air filter housing.
