Yes you can swap them. Is it a direct bolt for bolt swap? Probably not.
For the manual transmission ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid ) For the automatic transmission ( Motorcraft MERCON - V - automatic transmission fluid According to the Owner Guide
can you answer the question i have a 1990 ford ranger with a Mazda manual transmission what fluid does it require
Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid in the 5 speed manual transmission on a 1997 Ford Ranger , according to the Owner Guide
I'm pretty sure the 95 gt came with an aode transmission which means automatic overdrive. they had the aode in the earlier years but it was a completely different tranny.
on the tranny
On a standard tranny there is no reservoir. On an automatic tranny it is internal to the tranny. The fluid resides in the transmission pan.
According to the 1998 Ford Ranger Owner Guide : ( 2.65 litres / 2.8 US. quarts of Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the 5 speed manual transmission )
Automatic trannys are different. The tail shaft on a 2wd tranny is different than a 4wd because of the transfercase. If in fact the 2wd manual tranny does not fit a 4wd you can always change the tail shaft to make it work.
and automatic transmission does not require tranny fluid, as it is a "manual" and not automatic
Put some Lucas oil transmission fix in it. If that doesnt work then drive it till it blows, and put a used tranny back in it.
dirty tranny fluid
A transmission that does not use a clutch and pressure plate to disconnect from the engine.
