[QUOTE="chris smith 5, post: 966032, member: 63533"] Mercon sp is $7/qt from Ford. Bought 6 quarts, dropped the pan and replaced the filter ($20 from rock auto) and filled it up. Wondering about the filter though. Maybe somebody has some input. The filter absolutley would not stay connected to the transmission on its own. It DOES rest on the bottom of the pan once inserted into the tranny and the pan is secured right? So it does stay in place because of the pan? Shifting was a little rough in the 30 miles after I was back on the road yesterday. Fluid was only at he bottom of the check plug hash marks, I will pick up another quart today. Trans pan magnet was remarkably clean. Not so much on the differential plug though. That thing was coated with about an inch of particles. Refilled with Amsoil 75w140. Pics when I get home tonight...
