i have a 99 ranger with the 3.0 and a 5 speed manual behind it. i picked up some dex-merc atf, will this work? or do i need something different. i know i cant use gear oil cuz of the splash bearings, but do i need a different one?

 

I'm pretty sure its Mercon V.
Its in the Manual FWIW.

 

My '97 just used regular Mercon.

 

ok cool. this stuff said it covers mercon so we'll see in the long run. swapped it out last night and took it for a ride. noticed a big difference. quieter, and a lot less hesitation.

 

I ran some Lucas trans fix in mine too.... shifted 100x better than before!

 

Are owners manuals super hard to find?
