Yet another Ford question from a GM guy. Favorite daughter's 92 F-150 has the ZF 5 speed transmission and this has 110,000 miles on it.
Especially when the truck is sitting with the engine idleing in neutral there is a "sliding" noise or buzz from the shifter almost like the top end of the transmission isn't getting enough lube to the shift gates. I looked in the books on this and these recommend using Mercon automatic transmission fluid in them. I'm thinking this stuff is awful thin for a gearbox with this many miles on it (my 89' F-150 with 200,000 miles and the same gearbox also wants to know). What would be the pitfalls of going to a heavier lube such as 80 weight gear lube like is recommended for the earlier Ford gearboxs and GM gearboxs I'm more accustomed to?
