It is important to use the right type of Transmission Fluid in a car. The 1997 F350 Diesel uses Mercon III transmission fluid.
look in your owners manual.

mercon, not merconV matters not if its auto or manual. They all use the same
The amount of transmission fluid that a Ford F350 will hold depends on the size of the transmission. The average is about 19.2 quarts of transmission fluid. The specs can be checked in stores during purchase. Over filling will cause problems with shifting.
The transmission sensor is inside of the transmission under the pan. The pan has to be removed to get to the sensor.
Mercon V ATF fluid
The 1987 Ford F3 50 transmission fluid capacity is 8.3 quarts. You can check the transmission fluid level with the transmission dipstick.

I also have an f350 with the 7.3 and there is no other place to fill it besides the dipstick area use a funnel and be careful.
there is a plug in the side of the transmission. Remove the plug, the fluid should be up to the hole just before running out.
would you rather it shift slow????????
