1995 5speed f250

[snyderandco]

well i decided to change the fluid in my 1995 f250 5 speed. I just need to know what kind of fluid and how much of it does it take

You can look up all fluids and capacities on AMSOIL's Product Application Guide.

Manual Transmission: Use only Synthetic Mercon spec. No. ESR-M2163-A2 or equivalent - AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommendation from AMSOIL.

Manual Transmission, 5-SPD ZF..........6.8 pints
Manual Transmission, 5-SPD Mazda..........7.7 pints
Manual Transmission, S5-42..........6.8 pints

Let me know if you would like a quote.

any synthetic mercon? i was told to use synthetic mercon v is this right

I am not sure. There has been ALOT of discussion/opinion about what to use - Mercon vs Mercon V. I found this article from 2006 that might help clarify things a bit for you - Ford Pulls the Plug on Mercon

The nice thing about AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is that it meets the requirements for both Mercon & Mercon V.

I went to fill it up and only got a gallon in it before it started coming out full

[snyderandco]

is the 7 qts for the trans and transfer case combined or am i doing something wrong i filled it up from the side plug like all manual trans and filled it up till it starts coming out. And that was only a gallon

LOL. For some reason they go back and forth with pints and quarts. 7.7 pints = 3.85 quarts.

[snyderandco]

My truck's auto tranny seems to slip just a bit sometimes when going into overdrive and I'm hoping if I change the strainer and fluid it will help or do I have a bigger issue? How much fluid does it take?
