How do I know if I have a Torqshift transmission?

Re: torqshift transmission Look at your door jamb sticker and you can see which transmission you have.

Can you mix Mercon LV and SP?

Mixing of MERCON® LV and MERCON® SP in the 5R110 transmission is acceptable. Extensive testing has been performed to insure there are no functional or durability concerns with the use of MERCON® LV in the 5R110 automatic transmission.

What is equivalent to mercon sp?

Ford SSM 21114 (November 26, 2009) indicates that Mercon Replace “SP” is to be replaced with Mercon LV on Torqshift transmissions from the 2003 through 2008 model years.

Usability. However both Mercon LV and Mercon SP are different lubricants, but they are pretty the same. Both fluids can indeed be used for Ford vehicles.

How do you check the transmission fluid on a Ford e250 van?

Insert dipstick fully and pull out to check fluid level.
Transmission fluid expands when warmed up (driving for 20-30 minutes) Transmission level should be between the “HOT” marks.
If the vehicle is cold the level will be between the “COOL” marks.

Is the 6R140 a good transmission?

How to change transmission fluid in a 5R110?

Pre-heat about 20qts of transmission fluid (I used 2 2.5gal jugs) to about 170deg f. Heat up transmission by driving for a few minutes with the transmission cooler airflow blocked (with a gauge aim for about 170deg F, otherwise drive for ~10-20 min). Drain from main transmission pan drain (if you have one) (about 7qts)

A secondary shift sequence is commanded when ambient temperature drops below 5° F and shifts 1st-2nd-3rd-4th-6th. The transmissions marginally shorter 4th gear is used in cold weather to force higher engine speeds and therefore help the engine/transmission reach normal operating temperature in less time.

How much fluid is in a 5 gallon bucket?

Since the van sits so high I chose a 5 gallon Home-Depot bucket and marked each quart inside with a marker (using a 1qt water measure to get the calibration in place). The total fluid flushed out is a touch under 20qts or 5 gallons so I don’t need to swap containers as I go. First I needed a method to heat up the transmission before the change.
