Hey guys i got my 95'GT with 46k on it and i basically did a full tune-up oil change. It drives great, and this week i've noticed its hard to put in gear sometimes, from a stop to First and sometimes just going to Second. I was thinking of just changing the fluid to some Synthetic ATF, that's what i did with my 89'GT when i had it and it smoothed out the shifts a little bit. Im around about 50k now. I was just wondering what's Ford's Recommendations mile wise in changing the trans fluid?

Every 50K miles I believe... Same with self oiled Superchargers, such as the Eaton unit.

Does ford have a recommendation? I thought the trans fluid had no useful-service-life.
