Hello all. I have a 1994 Ranger 4.0 OHV 4x4 with the A4LD transmission. I have recently picked up the truck as a little side project/money pit. I am looking to do a full fluid and filter service on the transmission and transfer case. I am led to understand using some full synthetic mercon fluids could potentially damage cause failure of the transmission.
My question is what brand/type of fluids are guys using in these old transmissions? I have found some Valvoline Dex/Merc that is a synthetic blend, but am having a hard time locating a conventional type Mercon fluid.
Anyway, I would love to hear others thoughts on this.
