Yup, your M5OD requires Mercon ATF.

How is it shifting?

The M50D uses a needle bearing for the input shaft, using gear oil starves the tiny little needles. The PO of my Ranger was running some sort of molasses in my trans. I flushed it out a time or two and I ran regular Mercon in it for a while but the bearing was noisy when sitting in neutral. I drained it and refilled with full synthetic Mercon and it quieted it down a bit.
