Mercon V in 4L60E

[KLaBZ28]

Has anyone used MERCON V in their trannys instead of DEXRON III? I am installing my Yank SS3600 soon and after draining the trans I have a case of Merc V that I want to use. I looked up information about merc v and its supposed to be a replacement to DEX III, it meets and exceeds all the propertied of DEX III. Anyone done this / think this is a bad idea? Car is stock motor stock tranny.

isn't that a ford atf?

I don't Ford produces it, but they use it in their cars mostly. Regardless I've read it is a certified replacement to ALL older Mercon and Dexron fluids. It is made to work in trannys that used Mercon and that used Dexron. I think some Ford trucks used Dex III...

I used it when I rebuilt my trans and installed the stall converter. Seems fine so far.

I did it when I swapped my transmission with the new engine. The guy who was helping me has been doing it for years and never had any issues

[FASHOOTER]

I have used it several times...no issues

Awesome guys thanks for the info. That will save me some bucks for sure don't have to buy a whole case. When you do a converter tranny drain and refill how much fluid do you put in?
