Back story on my 02 Ranger with the 5R44E.
I did and a pan drop and filter/fluid change on my ranger a week ago. My Haynes manual states that my trans has a capacity of 9.9 quarts of mercon v total. When I dropped the pan, I got a little over three quarts of fluid out of it and replaced it with roughly the same amount. My trans shifts better and the (suspected) converter slip is pretty much gone from what I can tell.
Now...how many pan drops roughly would it take to get almost all the old fluid out? I know mathematically it seems that about three total pan drops with three quarts replaced each time would do it, But it seems it's a percentage thing to consider mostly. Also, should I replace the filter again in all of this since I did it on the first drop?
I don't know enough to do a line off exchange*
