Question #1, auto or 5-speed?

another thing: I went to my local auto parts store and they only had 4 synthetic Mobil 1 ATF's - not too many people buy it bulk. I believe Walmart has quite a bit tho.

(I only buy oil and shotgun shells from Walmart)

you can, i just wanted to know. Mobil 1 synthetic is rather decent - i'd recommend it.

well i was trying to find a good trans fluid and mobile 1 came highly recommended to me by a friend. i checked out the website and it passes all of fords and gm's "standards"

i really just want to stop the rock crushing / tumbling marbles sound in my trans when it is put into 5th gear.

4 quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF will do you good.

It wont miracle fix anything but it is a good lubricant.

im not looking for miracles, just less marbles in the trans noises.

but like i said that only happens in 5th gear, and only for a minute after i put it there.

If you hacve the TR3650 trans only put 3.2 quarts in it. The trans will be a little noisy but 3.2 is the correct level. If you put all 4 quarts in it it's possible that it can get tougher to shift.
