Thanks for everyone's help, I did get it back together and it is running great! BTW, it is a manual transmission, not an automatic. I know not to put transmission gear oil in an automatic! You are right, Dextron III for Fords is what is needed for automatics.

Now I got this strange grinding noise coming from my transaxle, but I think its those teeth that are placed near the wheel. The teeth, from my understanding, may have something to do with the anti lock system which is not available in my car. It is rubbing against the ball joint that is pushed up. I lowered it some, that helped, but I may have to grind or cut those teeth off. It is noisy and I'm sure a gas killer. It grinds louder as I turn the wheel.

Otherwise, glad to have my old car back on the road after four months and it's running great!
