Transmission issues with less than 500 miles

I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this on here, but I'm convinced it's the poor quality fluids. Change them all out in your diffs, transfer case and transmission with a good brand name.
My 5G Ranger had horrible gear hunting/hesitation/lurching etc. I started with the simplest things first, and it cured the problem.

What fluids did you use? I was thinking the same thing for my Ranger - start simple. My previous 04 Ranger was a manual and had issues with getting in gear and popping out randomly. I ended up having poor/low fluid. Drained and filled with new stuff. It never had an issue after that.

This is actually not a bad idea… I’ll keep it in mind in case I’m noticing some shifting troubles in the future. For now, all smooth.
Thanks !

I hate to mention brand names on here because 9 times out of 10 it opens up a rabbit hole and everyone jumps in, but here goes nothing lol......I use Amsoil.

I like the amsoil and the B&M trick shift.
