I put in my transmission mount/crossmember bushings kit from MN12 this weekend and decided to change my transmisssion fluid. It has never been done since I have owned it.
The moron at the parts store sold/told me I need 7 quarts of Auto Trans Merc III. I say Moron cause it only took just under three, not 7 , and think he sold me the wrong kind.
I thought there was a friction modifier that was suppose to go in there, but they didn't have any "Friction Modifier". So, what is it? Slick 50 for the tranny or something? Should I have gone with Merc 5 instead of 3?
Also "Moron Man" was trying to sell me 80w/90w for the rear differential and I am pretty sure it is the same as the transmission, isn't it?
BTW, the trans mounts weren't that badly worn, nor were the bushings but at least 3 less things to worry about going bad. Shifts a little bit better but there is still some serious slop somewhere. Thinking the diff/rear suspension bushings are needed next to get rid of the slop.
