i'm gonna change my tranny fluid what kind should i go with and how much and should i put any additives

either AMSOIL ATF, or GM Synchromesh.

Or Royal Purple SynchroMax, 3.0L (3.2 qts.) per Ford TSB 04-15-6.

The lesser amount of fluid (vs. the 4.0 and 3.8 qt. original specs) reduces the tendency of the shift rods and detents to hydrolock, and improves overall shifting characteristics...

Hey CLIFFYK, I see your avatar has the orange handle MGW shifter. I have the same shifter and always thought it was a shame to cover it up with the boot too..

I like it but it seems to be polarising and too aggressive a look for some--kinda' like Hillary, people either love it or hate it with not much emotion in between...
