How much fluid does a manual transmission on 97 Ford Ranger hold?

The 1997 Ford Ranger manual transmission fluid capacity depends on the transmission type. Ford used several different manual transmissions in the '97 Ranger. There's no single answer.

To know for sure, you must identify the transmission type (e.g., M5OD-R2, etc.). This information is usually found:

* On a tag on the transmission itself: Look for a stamped metal tag on the side or top of the transmission.

* In your owner's manual: If you still have it, the manual should specify the transmission and its fluid capacity.

* Your vehicle's identification number (VIN): A parts website or dealer can use your VIN to identify the exact transmission installed in your specific truck.

Once you know the transmission type, you can search online (e.g., on forums dedicated to Ford Rangers or parts websites) for the correct fluid capacity.
