Hi All,
I'm going to service my '99 4x4 5R55E tranny and just want to be sure I'm getting the correct stuff.
First, I wasn't going to do a full flush since there's 120k on the original fluid and I'd prefer to do this procedure annually, (bi-annually?), to introduce new detergents slowly. So with that, I saw the capacity for just a Fluid Drop and Fill is like 5 Qts or so. Is it still safe/recommended to use Mercon V or has something superseded that?
As for the gasket & filter, I think the filter for the 4x4 is MOTORCRAFT FT134. But I can't find the corresponding Motorcraft gasket. Is there a different part number for an all-in-one kit or something?
Thanks for any advice! Oh, and super random, but is Mercon V also used for power steering? I need to flush that too so....
