When did Ford (Mercury, etc) stop using Type F Auto tranny fluid in their vehicles?
Sometimes… Living in a redneck town will amaze you. Especially noticing how low the average I.Q. Is…
In teh 1980s perhaps
The Borg Warner transmissions used Type F. Ford had it's own subsidiary of BW. Type F was used in many cars all over the world. What year did they stop? Couldn't tell you for sure. Type CJ was introduced by Ford in 1974 as a replacement for Type F.
LONG AGO. Type "F" was used in TAURUS< ESCORT CONTINENTAL steering systems for a long time! Type "F" was most.;y used in REAR DRIVE cars ith the C4 transmissions. FRONT DRIVE cars fro FORD have used DEXRON since they were conceived! I think! BYE for NOW! I wsanted to sue FORD for the mislabelling of the cars metionedf. Because the label on thowse cars' steering fluid caps said, "POWER STEERING FLUID: instead of," USE TYPE "F"ONLY! In other words, many Ford cars going to the oIL CHANGE CENTERS would install POWER STEERING FLUID< instead of TYPE "F" trns fluid, so THEN these cars would havw "WHINEY" steering systems! They SHOULD have put, even in SMALL PRINT< whcih fluid type was reqruied in these car types! AND REPLACE the SSTEERING SYSTEM CAPS with different printings! BYE for NOW.
1979 or 1983, depending on continent, with the phase out of the FMX (Warner style) transmission.
- Why did my 2000 Ford Windstar just blow all off the tranny fluid out. But now its not leaking anything? I drove it with a trailer attached all day then I dropped the trailer off and drove home. When a was turning on to my street the car violently shuck but kept going I pulled into my drive way and looked under my car and big puddle of tranny fluid everywhere. So I filled it up this morning and drove it 75 miles and when I got back I was still full on fluid and nothing was leaking. So WHY?
- What engine type does the 2005 Mercury Monterey (Ford) van have? Is it a Nissan engine? Looking to buy a 2005 Mercury Monterey Van. I was told it has a Nissan engine by a friend. However, I can't find anything stating that. Also, what are they known for, as far as, issues/problems? I want to know what I getting into? Any other information including what I'm seeking appreciated.
- Type of TORX screw used with a Mercury Cougar '99 shifter? A seemingly simple issue with a bit of a tricky solution. I'm looking for the type of TORX screws used with for the shifter gaitor of a 1999 Ford/Mercury Cougar. I'm looking at the assembly diagram, but it doesn't shed any light sadly
- I have a 1986 ford with the C6 tranny on a motorhome what fluid does it take? It looks like from what I was reading that type F is what will work but then I ran across info that states its only used in c6's from the 70's. Am I ok using type F? Also this vehicle is new to me is there anyway to tell what fluid type is in it now?
