Hey, folks.
Just picked up a ’92 Ranger Custom (4.0, A4LD auto trans, 8.8” rear differential) and am going through the process of changing all the fluids. When I change the fluid in the rear diff and transmission, are there any cleaners that are safe to use, or am I limited to just wiping out the gunk with a clean rag after draining the fluids? If I remember right, I used a bit of brake cleaner to wash out the rear diff on the ’86 F150 that I had 20 years ago. Just wondering if this would be safe to use in the diff on my Ranger and if there are any safe cleaners at all for an A4LD auto trans. Thanks!
