If you mix the Lucas additive with the ATF in a jug first it will be much easier to use.Right guys, so it seems like synthetic is the way. At 3.2-3.4 quarts with a little Lucas Oil. I also heard that Its way easier to put the Lucas oil in the tranny if you heat the bottle up first.
The TR-3650 is just 'tighter' by nature...I row thru the gears every morning before pulling it out of the garage. The T-45 could care less, but the 3650 is more sensitive..I guess...in the end, it (the 3650) is much smoother, more predictable...it's notchy, but precise.I just changed mine out yesterday for the third time since buying it in September. This the first mustang that I've owned without a T5. Its an 03 Mach1. The car will sit sometimes for 2-3 weeks without being driven. I noticed that the car is very hard to shift when cold and has been sitting for a long duration. I first tried synthetic with not much difference. I then used regular DIII and it was very sticky and would even grind on its first shift into second after sitting. This car only has 7700 babied miles on it. I read a thread on the registry about using one full bottle of Lucas tranny fix and the rest Mobil1 ATF totaling together 3.2QTS. I only drove the car maybe 2 miles after the fluid change and it seemed to be much smoother (Hopefully I'm Not Imagining It) than before. After the short ride you could move through the gears without feeling anything. The real test will be to see how the trans shifts after the car sits a week or two. I'll post my findings in a week or so.
