How much tranny fluid does a 98 Ford Ranger standard 5 speed take?
A 1998 Ford Ranger with a standard (manual) 5-speed transmission does not use transmission fluid. Manual transmissions use gear oil. The amount needed depends on the specific transmission in your truck (there were variations). You should consult your owner's manual for the correct type and quantity of gear oil. The manual will specify the correct oil type and the amount needed for a proper fill.
