Hey guy's

The oil in my transmission is kinda crusty looking so I would like to try and flush most of it out if I can and wack in a new filter while I'm at it . Does anyone know how many litres I'll need for this and what oil would be best suited to my transmission ?

Cheers

If your going to flush it, about 20lts......not all at once, either.
You may find it better to get a shop to do it, if you don't know how to do it right.

Thanks cjh .20 ltrs , OK so what transmission fluid would you guy's recommend ?

to flush the trans can I take off one of the trans cooler lines and let it drain into a drum/container while the engine is running and keep topping it up with new oil or is there a easier way of doing it ?

I did a search for you "trans flush"
All the info is here for you...

Valvoline recommended 95LE but now it's been superceded by Maxlife

Cheers guy's

After reading through all the posts on FordMods about flushing trannies I was able to do it myself today.

TQ95 oil 20L for $160, new filter and seal off ebay.

Took quite a long time without a pump but got there in the end.

Had to ask a neighbour to jump in the front and key on/off and shift through the gears. Definitely makes a big difference running through the gears while you flush. More black s**t comes out.

Only needed 2 axles stand for the rear and chocked the front. That gave me enough room to get under, and allowed the gearbox to go into gear during flush.

Took it for a roll after topping up and it made a huge difference. Almost no flaring between gears at full throttle.

Shift kit to be fitted next. The old girls a keeper so I want the tranny to last.
