I dropped the transmission pan on my 63,340 mile 2002 4.0L V6 Ford Explorer, replaced the filter with a motorcraft part bought from a dealer and put in 12 quarts of Dead Link Removed. Very odd smell to it, sorta like fish.
Anyway, while the transmission has given me no trouble and it shifts well, it shifts noticeably smoother with the Schaeffer's, IMHO. The All Trans appears to be a very high quality synthetic "sleeper" ATF. I did the old drain from the cooler lines to get out the old ATF.
This was a messy job with the pan drop and the pan bolts above the exhaust pipe in the rear were a bit of a pan. But hopefully this will extend the trouble free life of my transmission.
