What Transmission fluid for 1990 Ford Ranger 5 speed 4 x4 2.9 engine?

Answer 1

I have a 1990 Ford Ranger XLT 5 speed 4x4 2.9L standard transmission. I recently had this question and this is what my manual says:

For 1988 and on Mitsubishi transmission use SAE 80W transmission fluid

For 1988 and on Mazda transmission use Mercon automatic Transmission Fluid

For the transfer case '88 and on, it uses the Mercon automatic transmission fluid.

The differentials use a "high grade lubricant" that is a different fluid than the transmission uses.

I used Haynes. Look on page 1-2 for a list of all the lubricants and fluids and Chapter 7 for more information about the different transmissions.
