Fluid Questions - Transmission and n Rear Differencial
I'm looking at changing them when i get my car back out and had a couple questions about them.
first - the Rear Diff Fluid: How much do i need to fill (its an 02 gt) and is there a specifit Weight or any additives that will help it work second is the Transmission Fluid - i got a short throw shifter and want every advantage to make it feel the smoothest possible. what should i llok for when getting new transmission fluid? and how much will my car take. can you recommend any brands for each? |

I put Mobil 1 ATF in my T5 :) 2.6-2.7 liters is not very much fluid at all :confused: **edit*** just got this info from mustang world Auto Transsmission Motorcraft MERCON (ATF) Capacity 13.9 quarts (13.1 Liters) Manual Transsmission Motorcraft MERCON (ATF) Capacity T50D 5.6 pnts (2.6 Liters) T45 6.6 pnts (3.1 Liters) this is where i got the origanl specs from ford mustang maintenance sorry for the first misleading post |
when in doubt use the manual...if you can find it..if not you can get one off e-bay very cheap usually..well less then it would cost to get one from Ford that is.

that way if you ever need to fix it, you have all the info you need, at your fingers. :tup |
K - i kno i can use the manual - i just wanted peoples personel opinions, and thought i'd ask how much fluid it takes, just while i was on the topic.
thanks though |

Basically, use any high-quality synthetic fluid and you should be fine though. Hope that helps! |
Thanks for the help there. where would i buy the Mobile 1 ATF from?
i looked in my manual and it said to get: 3.8 Litres of Synthetic Mecron ATF for transmission i went to Ford and the guy gave me SAE 80W 90 for Rear Axcel Lubricant. thats the stuff for the V6 Rear end. so i got the wrong kind..gotta go back. and it says to get SAE 75W - 140 Synthetic. and add |
