Trans

ok i have a T5 and i dont know what trans fluid i need, i went to the auto parts store and they said to look it up in the manual witch i dont have, but what type of trans fluid would a T5 use, thanks.

ford will sell you a motorcraft synchromesh...hit up the dealor or go with the redline synthetic from summit racing i ordered 3 bottles it takes about 2.5 i think

the red line stuff on summit there is about 5 different kinds, i went to the parts store and they said it could take ether Automatic trans fluid or manual, and there is two different kinds they said.

T5? Volvo?

T5 Mustang dud, were in the mustang fourms

I am a bit confused are you refering to old german mustangs or the T5 transmission?

T5 Mustang dud, were in the mustang fourms Sorry...A lot of people tend to post on the in the first forum the click at.

I called the Ford Tech and he gave me some info.

The German T5 Mustang uses:

V6
3spd Manual: 120 SAE

V8
4spd Manual: 200 SAE
3spd Automatic Sport: 220 SAE

As for the transmission fluid in the T5 type transmission it will use one of 2 types; ATF or 70wt. I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact one unless you could give the specific tranny type(inside door panel), year and engine type.

All the Cobras that had T-5 used ATF and most(nearly all) T-5s used ATF fluid after 1985 but a few odd ones did not.

The Borg-Warner T5 transmission in the Ford Mustang uses ATF.

why are we talking about german mustangs and why would they be any different from US mustangs

why are we talking about german mustangs and why would they be any different from US mustangsSomeone could have easily imported a German Mustang and it wasn't even close to being an American Mustang in design especially the tranny.

Ford released regional and specialty Mustangs and they some times differed in their designs and specifications from others of the same time period; California Special Mustang, T5, Bullit Mustang, Windsor Mustang, Cobra Jet, 71 T-Top Mustang those are just a few.

Edit:
I am bored:
Twister Mustang, Cardinal Mustang, Mclaren M81, Mustang Trans-Am, Callisto(sp?) Mustang, Big Block Mustang, Mustang Juarez, Boss Mustangs....blah blah blah....between 1964-1978 Ford released over 100 different types of Mustangs in North America alone and somewhere close to 220 different types of Mustangs world wide. Some of those Mustangs are just body varients but others were experimental or built completely different from other production Mustangs.

The Borg-Warner T5 transmission in the Ford Mustang uses ATF.

or use power steering fluid, same thing.

so what is different about a german mustang 99-04

They stopped making German T5s with the 80s Mustangs.
