I believe this is in the FAQ of this site. Ford Friction Modifier is readily available at most Ford dealerships. If you have synchros going out it is best not to use synthetic ATF.

It's not that expensive so don't worry. Make sure to mix the friction modifier with the first bottle of fluid you put in so it all gets in there. It's actually easier than changing oil!
