I just joined this site. The LORD has blessed me with a 1997 Ford Ranger 4x4.
But I've never owned a 4x4 or a Ranger before so I just had a simple question.
Now I do not want to do a full transmission flush, but rather, a simple drain and refill using Lucas stop slip to replace a qt of mercon v.
But I keep getting conflicting information on this. The manual says that the full fluid capacity is 9.8 or so quarts of Mercon V.
But on this site I hear that it only takes 3 quarts of Mercon V to do a simple drain, refill, gasket and filter replacement. And I think 6 more additional qts for a torque converter drain and refill, which I don't want to do at this time.
So what is it? I simply want to do a basic drain and refill, replace the gasket and use one bottle of Lucas stop slip to replace one qt of the Mercon V. But, again, I do not want to fool around with any torque converter yet.
So what do I do? is it 3 qts?
Does the 3qt and the 6qt number equal the 9qt for full replacement? Im not understanding the numbers.
