so i got up today and pulled it up on ramps and after draining the pan the fluid was still red not burnt looking but at the bottom of the pan there was.... i guess u would call it sludge? blk dirt looking stuff.

i changed the filter also that looked normal but the new one i got was bigger then the old one is that normal? or bad?

also kragens system dont go back that far to tell me what kind of fluid one old car guy said type f or f+4 i went with premeuim type f is that good?

i also witht he fluid change wanted to use tranny honey ive herd some good things that it does so i grabed a bottle of that and added it is that good?

srry for asking so many questions but i want to make sure i get it right. im done with it now and is all back together and has been driven drives better then it did before shifts stick better and overall feels like a diff ride kinda but i just wanna make sure i get it right.

thanks for your help post any awnsers please before harm may be done.
 
the bigger filter is no biggie...as long as the holes line up for the 3 screws ...


dexron 3 is what the factory calls for...

alot of people use ford especially in race cars...shifts firmer...
 
ok so i did evreything ok and tranny honey the back said u could use it with fluid changes so cool sounds good for my first tranny cfluid change
