Get yourself 6 quarts of the Motorcraft Mercon V transmission fluid from Ford, along with the proper F5TZ-7A191-A transmission pan gasket, and you'll be fine. DO NOT use Wal-Mart or other "cheapy" brand fluids. You'll pay later in the long run, believe me. What is the quality level of service you want for your vehicle? You get what you pay for.

I recommend using Motorcraft auto trans fluid. Its the fluid that came from the factory designed by Ford. You might spend an extra $1 or $2 per quart, but that is well worth it considering a repair bill on a transmission can run into the $1000s. Additionally, you can probably buy it at Wal-mart.

Really, name brands are entirely up to you. The Wal-Mart brand is actually made by one of the bigger names in the industry. Just look on the back label for proof.
The only thing that matters is the kind of fluid you need to put in (Mercon V). Thats about the only thing that matters...

Sounds like the reverse band/clutch assembly might be going out. Just had the same problem with such vehicle. Always check fluid level first before calling a trans shop

i own a repair shop,and really the walmart brands will be fine in it,i usually keep this on hand at the shop,its actually made by a brand name so its fine to use in it, one thing to remember on doing this ,don't over tighten the pan bolts on it it will cause that gasket to blow out on the side,tighten it in 3 different sequences,a little each time,and it will be alright,good luck with it,i hope this help,s.
