Just did the fluid change on my 2000 Ranger...didn't use a pump but once tranny was drained I ran a small rubber hose thru engine bay all the way to the fill hole and connected it to a funnel for easy fill up!
Lots of manual transmissions take ATF. It's a splash lubricated transmission, so the ATF is light to splash around vs. a heavier weight gear oil. ATF is right in the service manual. I had a Homda that took 10w30 motor oil in the manual gear box.
Hi I just bought the same year, make n model pickup as yours . It has 208Kmiles n I doubt the transmission oil has ever been changed. After watching this video I'm eager to change the transmission oil but someone warned me that in older trucks doing so might cause slipping. Do u have any problems with ur transmission slipping? Would u advice me to change mine or not? Thanks
If its an automatic that definitely hasnt been serviced with regular fluid changes its likely the fiber plates are worn to nothing, and likely requires a teardown. If its a manual theres no fiber plates, just gears. Change your oil and you should be good so long as there isnt a ton of metal chunks.
Hi, one question. Did you observe anything different after changing the transmission oil? I have a 1996 Ford Ranger and i want to change the old oil from my manual transmission, I looked the compatibility that offer the Valvoline MaxLife ATF and has exactly the Ford Part Number that indicated my owner manual (xt-2-qdx) join with others . specifications to others vehicles. Can you help me with your answer please? I would like to know if exist some problem or not to use this ATF. Greeting from Mexico
Take care of your car will take care of you I had mines done n Aug about the vehicle in June had my shop do it seeing you do it I'm going to my vehicle tomorrow and look at the drain n full spots might change mines at the end of the month
@@SwanCanFixIt yup, my 93 ranger had 7 previous owners who didnt understand the basics of the importance of fluid change. Im out in the desert and have happily been doing half/sooner intervals as recommended by Ford, and finally have cleared out lots of the gunk to where the fluids are fairly "new" looking when i drain em. Just keeping up on fluids and flushing that crap out has made a noticeable difference in noise and smoothness. Originally all of it looked as if i drained from a deisel. Fortunately no excessive metal flakes granted theres a smidge, but definitely no chunks. Usually drain my oils through a coarse strainer (for chunks) and then an old air filter whos holes are a bit finer than the mesh strainer (for flakes, particles) Might try mailing off some samlles to a lab for giggles just to see what may be wearing the most.

Great video, just what I needed to see
Since u have a manual transmission there is not problem for using a atf?

You probably shouldn’t own a car if you don’t understand the difference between manual and automatic transmissions
If its an automatic that definitely hasnt been serviced with regular fluid changes its likely the fiber plates are worn to nothing, and likely requires a teardown.
If its a manual theres no fiber plates, just gears. Change your oil and you should be good so long as there isnt a ton of metal chunks.

The max life atf from valvoline will work just fine
how often you should change your trans oil?
@ the 3:44 mark, listen
I thought it used gear oil

That’s definitely the truth. Just simply changing the fluids on time adds so many more years to a vehicles longevity
