1993 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

we changed the tranny filter. had to buy one for a 95 to match up to the old one. thinking the part store told me to put in the wrong fluid. i always thought type "F" BUT they told me dec. when the truck is cold it doesnt wanna shift and when its warm, it shifts late.
