Gary,I just use dexron in my 78 mustang and it seems to perform well,so should be ok.I'm hoping that Eric will concur.

Dexron Mercon,
I pulled one apart yesterday and it had a purplish fluid in it, all the o-rings were twice the size from swelling

Eric what is the best way to change the tranny fluid and how much do I use. I have a 83/2001sn with a 351 Lh rotation don't think the color matters. think its time to give her fresh fluids

I pump it out with a vacuum type pump, on larger boats i remove the cooler line and fire the engine and let the trans pump it out. i would get 3 qaurts and start with one and a half and go from there. when you know its to the right level, the next morning you can make a cold level mark so each time you fire the boat you can check the level when cold
