helty said:back on topic.....when you guys change your tranny fluid, do you just pump until it reaches the fill hole? Ive heard at least 5 different numbers as fas as the quantity of fluid our tranny needs.
white-04 said:A mustang guy I talked to that has built some motors said to stay away from synthetics and to use the blend Ford has. I forget what part he said was breaking, but rebuilt a few motors that had the same problem and he linked it to synthetic oil (not sure how). Anyone else hear this? I'm currently running Mobil 1 synthetic.
the only reason they gave you crap for it was b/c the car was still under warranty and motorcraft wasnt being used. good luck trying to prove Mobil 1 was the cause of the spun bearingsAdamantiumKnot said:I ran Mobil 1 Synthetic for a year or so and spun three rod bearings. The techs at ford gave me some heat for it, but thankfully, the motor was under warranty still.
I think it's just that our engines aren't built for that sort of tolerance or something along those lines.
did it today and my first impressions are:Silvergto2 said:Helty,
Let me know what you think about RP for you tranny. I installed a MGW short throw shifter and the same time flushed my tranny and put red line fluid in, but it still seems notchy from 1st to 2nd. I am thinking about trying RP instead. I measured out 3.25 quarts and then filled it up.

1-2 Notchiness: still there, but subtle. Not as bad as before.
2-3, 3-4: Like Budda

fluid. Ive had the MGW in for over a year now.Superhereaux said:did what?
just the fluid or the fluid and shifter?
holy **** man, I have to get me some of this stuff.thomas91169 said:now to the tranny. it now shifts like a Tremec 3650 SHOULDNT. its purely efforless and notchless. i feel almost desensitized from it, but thankfully the sound of the shifter hitting the bumpstops with a clank lets me know im there. but dam, its effortless. from 2nd to 3rd shifts, i merely have to feather my arm forward, and its like an act of devine inspiration moves it the rest of the way. i changed the fluid because on the way to the track, my tranny chatter came back(or maybe i just noticed it again), since it was gone after my last fluid change, so figured what the hell. now the chatter is gone, and driving is silencio from el drivetraino.
