While playing in the mud yesterday drunk, I ran the transmission low on oil. So I shut it off, and sent the gf and a cousin to town to get more. When they get back I added the fluid.....start it up, and I now have no forward gears. It will go in reverse, thats it.
Today, I start it up, check the fluid, and its about 2 quarts overfull. I was like, "damn" but i was drunk, and it was dark so i wasnt to surpised i had done this. So, I figured let me try and drain some out, see what that does. I got the gallon jug out of the bed that i had added fluid with, and find out that i added a gallon of Supertech(walmart) transmission fluid that specifically says on the back
Do not use this product in transmissions that specify Ford Type F fluid. and guess what my tran dipstick says on it?? TYPE F only!
My ??? is, would that one gallon of the non-specified fluid contaminate the rest of fluid enough to keep it from goin in forward gears???
