Hello all, new to RS and Rangers. Been browsing alot, lots of great info here.
I just got a '93 single cab 4.0 manual trans (119000 miles) for a work truck. Looks good, but needs some stuff and appears to have had some neglect. Im sure ill be posting alot of questions, but I asure you I always use the search feature before hand.
Anyways...drained and refilled the trans today with Valvoline Maxlife 75,000 mile ATF (dex/merc). Is this fluid ok?? I know Im supposed to use ATF, but after refilling I starting reading conflicting posts regarding fluid choices and wanted to make sure before I drive too far with this new fluid.
Also, using a hand pump i was only able to get in around 2.5 quarts before it started flowing out the fill hole....i thought i should've been able to get more in there?? BTW, less than that came out when I drained it, I think I have a leak at the shift rail plugs.
Thanks for any insight.
