Stormy Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 The old manuals specify Type A Suffix A transmission fluid. This type seems long gone. What transmission fluid do you recommend ? Can transmission fluids be mixed when adding a bit ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I don't know how available these are any more but it was generally accepted that Ford Type F would give firmer shifts and GM Dexron would provide smoother shifts. There are so many formulations of ATF out today I don't know what would be the best recommendation. The Borg Warner Power Shift is similar to Borg Warners used by Fords back in the day so maybe.a Ford Mercon ATF could be a modern alternative. Hopefully someone with recent experience will join in.

studegary Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 If the AT fluid has not been changed for awhile or you don't know when or with what, change it. I suggest Dexron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynolou2 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Either dexron or ford type F , Napa or other retailers carry or can get. If you are doing a change drain converter ( drain plug) too, clean screen also. Pan gasket same as ford FMX Lou Cote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
