R134a
R 134a by Federal Regulations all cars have R-134a "freon" in the AC system since 1996 to present.
It came from the factory with R12 (Freon). As R12 is so very expensive, I would convert this car to R134a. You can buy a conversion kit at most auto parts stores. If you have leak, make sure to have the leak repaired.
I have a 2001 Mercury Cougar it goes in reverse and first and second but it wont go in drive when i put it in drive the rpm just go up.

Cougar Zank goes by Boomer.
According to the 1999 Mercury Cougar Owner Guide ( 5W-30 ) With engine oil filter change : The 2.0 litre four cylinder engine takes ( 4.5 US. quarts of 5W-30 ) The 2.5 litre V6 engine takes ( 5.8 US. quarts of 5W-30 )
I heard that you pour it into the tube that holds the dipstick where you ckeck the transmission fluid. They said use a funnel and pour it in the tube the stick goes in.
The yellow with green wire goes from the switch to the relay which is to the right of the speaker and then from the replay it changes to yellow and goes to the motor.
Straight forward job but be careful on replacing the plugs as they are deep also remember which lead goes where
