I am sure there are many opinions as there are on spark plugs, engine oil etc...but unless price is a big difference, hard to go wrong with the Dexron. Some people use Type F, used in older Fords, to firm up shifts, but unless there is an existing issue with the trans. using the OEM recommended fluid makes sense to me.
Yeah, I'll have to try that. The last time I drove it, I didn't have the problem. It has only happened twice so far, both on cold mornings. Next cold morning I'm going to try some of these things and see how it goes.
I replaced the O ring on my accumulator today. So far no leaking but will have to keep an eye on it over the next few days. I did confirm the repair manual says nothing about needing to bleed the system after servicing the accumulator.
The switch is at the bottom of the steering column and isn't too hard to replace. If the other parts shown in your link are bad it's a different story. I've heard people say it easier to replace the steering column than to replace those parts inside the steering column.
