i bought a 94 ranger back in early july with 163,000 miles on it...i changed the tranny fluid and just put regular atf in it but i feel like the shifting is rough, expecially between 1st and 2nd, and 2nd and 3rd.

now i am thinking of draining it 2 months later and going with synthetic atf.
will mobil 1 sunthetic be ok or should i go for amsoil?

and will it give me smoother shifts?

thanks....any help is appreciated.

 

i got much smoother shifts with amsoil and changing your fluid again might be a good thing since it would basically be a tranny fluid flush... you should change your t-case fluid as well

 

well guys, i used mobil 1 synthetic atf, i found the Transfer case but could not get the 4 bolts loose in order to drain and refill it.

time will tell if i notice smoother shifting in her....i'll let everyone know.

thanks.

 

took truck out today for a drive. i cant beleive it but i definately did notice a difference in the shifting.....it was much smoother.

i had a gutt feeling about synthetic doing this but it is true........much better.

too bad there is nothing this simple we could do to the 3.0 to make is accelerate better.

 

sure there is......lower gearing!

 

and how much does that cost?

 

true, reletivly simple, but there is a price.

 

explain

 

yea...my gears are louder......but.....i need to put my interior back together. that'll help.
