My friend just picked up an 02 PSD and it has a leaky trans pan. he plans on dropping the pan and replacing the gasket, along with the fluid. whats the reccomended fluid to use?

 

i can check when i getg to work but check the trans dipstick it will tell you. if it doesnt say anything on it then it is still the merc. III but it should say on the handle if its merc V. but some do say on the stick itself. if that dosnt help i can find it at work.

 

DO NOT use Mercon V.

Use O'reillys or something along those lines it is fine.

 

Run Motorcraft fluid in it. Keep it all OEM specifications. They use Mercron III fluid.

 

I run John Deere 'Hyguard'.
Same stuff Lentech uses in tranies that are pushed behond their limits. (Johnny Lightning's 1500+HP truck)

Handles 2000+psi & doesn't burn.

 

X2 I mis it with a lil bite of factory fluid to color it since its clear so it's easier to read on the dip stick but the stuff is incredable. I run this in my C4 and PG set-ups in both my race cars as well.
