Specs in the title.
I don't which trans I have. I know it's an auto OD. The data is supposed to be on the door frame according to Haynes, but it's not!
Anyway, I think it's time to change the atf. The dipstick says use MERCON.
What synthetic is best? Or should I stick with MERCON?
Does changing just the available fluid accomplish anything?
The trans pan says that it has a reusable pan gasket. Good or bad.
Is there a site that details pumping the old fluid out using the internal pump?
I'm sure that this stuff has been covered more than once, but everything I find seems to come up short on some issues.
I would like to have info that is specific to my truck: '96 XLT, 302 V8. 4 door, 4spd auto od trans, (I think) 100k miles. No trans problems yet. Current fluid isn't burnt.
Thanks a bunch!
