I have a 67 Bronco U15 with a 289.
I have noticed a small leak around the tranny's drain plug. I want to drain all the fluid, inspect the drain plug, fix whatever is causing the leak, 'douche' out the tranny, and replace the fluid with something that will properly lubricate the transmission.
I tried to search around the web for info on doing this, but The RAN/RAT trannies seem to be a ghost that either never breaks or is replaced with something else.
So my questions are:
1) What kind of tranny does my Bronco have?
2) How much fluid does this tranny take?
3) What kind of fluid does it like?
4) What would cause the drain plug to leak?
5) Will Teflon Tape help to seal the drain plug apon re installation?
6) What is a good product to 'douche' or clean the tranny out with?
7) Should I use a friction modifier?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
