I have a 87 ranger with the fm145 probably over due for a fluid change and I'd like to replace the pan gasket while I'm at it, having trouble finding a gl4 rated 80w-90 gear oil. Can anyone recommend a gear oil that will not harm the syncros?
When I brought the truck to the shop for ball joints the mechanic said he topped off the fluid in the trans, I went to loosen the fill plug and it wouldn't budge with a 24" breaker bar on there. Hit it with some penetrating oil but haven't tried it again since. If the penetrating oil doesn't help the situation not sure where to go from there?
Thanks in advance
