Can I use Mercon V?

[BoosT_AddicT]

Hey guys, I'm getting my tranny rebuilt with the Circle D kit and a new Circle D stall. I just bought 16qts of Motorcraft Mercon V... I see some threads suggesting against it but I just wanted to double check. Thanks!

if im not mistaken Ford has now OK'd the use of it in our tranny's
Ill let Eric or one of the other guys answer this though

I had mine flushed at a dealer last year before I took it road racing. Its been in there through tons of 1/4 mile passes, 2 auto cross days, and 2 road race days...not to mention the on the street beatings.

yeah...its fine.

FWIW, I also flushed my 99 expy with the 4r100. It got rid of the dreaded torque converter shudder.

See your other post. The new MerconV is fine to use per Ford.

Thanks guys... Glad I don't have to return the stuff.

I think you'll be fine as long as you don't mix them. Once you get everything installed before you start it for the first time I would disconnect the return line (rear) and flush a few quarts through.

They are fully compatible with each other with the new reformulated MerconV.
