Absoultly not!!!!! This particular transmission is designed to use A/T fluid. Why would you even consider this? Just installed new shaft seals at the input and output shafts. Transmission has a different sound now when in neutral at idle. Goes away when the clutch is depressed and the input shaft stops turning. Sound doesn't bother me but my son complains about it. Thought by adding a high pressure gear lubricant this would silence the noise. Yes, in fact you can, in a manual trans. I replaced the trans. in my 88 Ranger, which used Mercon. The seals leaked in the old one, and because it relies a constant oil bath of Mercon, when you lose the fluid, you lose all lubrication. On the replacement trans., I used 80W-90, so there would be lube on gears even if fluid was lost. It does make the shifting slightly stiffer, esp. in cold of winter. HOWEVER, you might need to clean out all the old auto trans. fluid/Mercon before repl. it with 80-90, as I don't know if they would mix well or seperate. Probably wouldn't matter, but I don't know that for sure. BTW, heavy weight gear oil was used in man. trannies long before the 30W oil and ATF that is used in some cars/trucks now! PS- the sound you're hearing now probably means the input shaft is slightly off-centered when you put the seals in. If it doesn't shutter bad it should be OK.
An automatic gearbox is maintained to keep it serviceable for a long time by changing the fluid and filters at regular intervals. The entire system should also be flushed periodically to remove contaminants.
Manual transmissions use a variety of oils: regular motor oil, heavyweight hypoid gear oil or even automatic transmission fluid in some cases. Your owner's manual will tell you what your transmission calls for. If you don't have an owner's manual, either get one or call your local Ford dealer for the proper lubricant. Using the wrong lubricant can cause serious damage to the transmission.
regular automatic transmission fluid
regular dextron 3.
it has a type of powerful transmission maybe regular
My Haynes repair manual for the Ford Explorer ( 1991 thru 1995 ) shows MERCON automatic transmission fluid in the automatic transmission
Unless you have a LEAK you shouldn't have to add automatic transmission fluid on a regular basis
synthetic 5w30 engine oil regular dexron transmission fluid
You use regular automatic transmission fluid in the 5-speed manuals. ----------------------------- MERCON ATF
If there is a regular sized oil pan in the F250, then it is 6 quarts for an automatic. Take it to a shop to have it pumped out to improve the system.?æ
Just regular power steering fluid. NO automatic transmission fluid.
The 4.10 's ( Axle Code F7 - Ford Traction - Lok ) were available with : 2.3 L / 4X4 / Manual transmission / Regular Cab 3.0 L / 4X4 / Automatic Transmission / Regular Cab 3.0 L / 4X4 / Automatic Transmission / Super Cab so , my question is did the 3.0 L / Automatic / 4X4 1997 Ford Ranger come with 9 inch or 10 inch rear brakes ? ( at least you know the engine / transmission combinations )
