COMET CENTRAL

I have a mercomatic in my 64 caliente. The oil needs to be changed. I wonder if somebody knows if there is a filter inside the gearbox that needs to be changed and where in that case I can get a hold on one. Is the mercomatic the same gearbox as ford cruiseomatic?

Mercomatic, Yes there is a filter. NOT replaceable, just clean the old one with brake cleaner or gas.

IF it's a C4... http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Genuine-For ... 1341110446

Thanks i will do that when i change oil. Is the filter easy to spot when you dismanteled the oilpan?

If that trans is the same as the 2 speed used in falcons it would appear to have a filter which appears to bolt in so should be replacable.

Replaceable but pretty much unobtainable...

So obviously replacements are not available. In that case the best you can do is just try to clean it and reinstall.

what ever you clean it with....blow it and let air dry as long as you feel safe ...jmo.....pop

Thanks for the help guys. How much oil do I need to buy before doing the oil change?
